Spacious Farmhouse Offering Gîte Potential

Property Description

Set in an enviable, open position in the commune of Saint-Crépin, this attractive former farmhouse offers generous accommodation, outstanding flexibility, and just over 9,000 m² of land. The main house retains many original features, including attractive tiled floors. fireplaces and spacious, well-proportioned rooms throughout. The accommodation currently comprises five bedrooms, two of which are located on the ground floor, making the property well suited to single-level living if required. One of the key strengths of the house is its adaptable layout. It can be easily divided into two independent living spaces. The ground-floor accommodation could form a self-contained home with a kitchen, dining/sitting room, shower room, and two bedrooms. The remaining accommodation, arranged over two floors, includes a separate sitting room, a dining kitchen, and three further bedrooms, two of which benefit from ensuite facilities. This configuration is ideal for a gîte project, multi-generational living, or hosting family and friends. In addition to the habitable space, the property benefits from substantial outbuildings. Two large, two-storey stone barns are attached along the full length of the house, complemented by a third, more modern barn nearby. Previously used for animals and later for storage, these buildings offer excellent potential for conversion into additional accommodation, workshops, or studio space, subject to the necessary permissions. The house faces open countryside, enjoying uninterrupted views across surrounding fields. To the front is an enclosed garden, while to the rear a spacious covered terrace provides a wonderful shaded area — the perfect place to enjoy an apéritif on warm summer evenings. The property also benefits from a fosse on site and a functioning well approximately 7 metres deep. Saint-Crépin (17380) is a charming village in Charente-Maritime, offering peaceful country living within easy reach of key towns and the Atlantic coast. La Rochelle lies approximately 52 km away (around 50 minutes by car), while Rochefort is just 22 km to the south-west, offering shops, markets, and amenities. The nearby service towns of Tonnay-Boutonne and Surgères are both under 15 km away, providing schools, supermarkets, and train stations. A rare opportunity to acquire a character property in a beautiful rural setting with excellent connectivity.
