Property Description

Within the former Benedictine abbey of L'Absie (11th century) and at the chevet of the abbey church (listed as a historic monument), a large property consisting of the former prior's accommodation and several buildings, all built in a preserved and privileged environment, on a walled plot (in part) of approximately half a hectare.
Facing East/West, the priory is a long rectangular building with a two-sloped roof, two doors of which (one dates from 1630) are surmounted by hammered coats of arms, probably during the Revolution of 1789 or the Wars of the Vendée; among the original interior decor elements, the paneled room known as the "Prior's" room with a chimney breast decorated with small religious paintings dating from 1709, a central staircase with straight banisters with flat balusters and several molded wooden doors with double leaves. The house is composed, on the ground floor, of a living room (38 m2, new oak parquet flooring) separated from a dining room (36 m2, parquet flooring) by the main entrance (15 m2, terracotta tiles) and the stairwell; followed by a kitchen (32 m2) opening onto the garden, a back kitchen (4 m2), a shower room with toilet (5 m2), and a wine storehouse (20 m2). Fireplace in all rooms, ceiling height of 3.15 meters.
Upstairs, a large landing leads, on one side, to the bedroom called "the Prior" (25 m2) which is adjoined by a bathroom with toilet (10 m2) and a dressing room (5 m2), and, on the other side, a wide corridor giving access to two beautiful bedrooms (29 and 32 m2). A former maid's room (10 m2) raised above the stairwell completes the ensemble. At the back, above the wine storehouse, is a large attic and a staircase leading to the back kitchen. Fireplaces with mantels decorated with religious paintings in all rooms, 17th century studded parquet flooring, ceiling height of 3.10 meters.
Total surface area of the house: approximately 275 m2. Electricity redone, mains drainage.
Perpendicular and separately to the priory, there is a house built on two levels of approximately 65 m2 each (to be restored) extended by a large barn (80 m2) and a garage. A bread oven and two pig roofs complete the ensemble.
Wooded and planted land (magnolia, fruit trees, etc.), well and large masonry fishpond.
Rare for sale.
