Authentically Renovated 18th-Century Stone Farmhouse with Extensive Outbuildings and 7,000m² of Gardens

Property Description

Dating from the mid-eighteenth century, this beautiful traditional stone village farmhouse has been sympathetically and meticulously renovated, preserving its character while seamlessly incorporating modern comfort. Wherever possible, original features have been carefully restored, including the charming tomette tiles in the kitchen, the chestnut wood flooring in the salon, and the distinctive œil-de-bœuf window that lends both light and architectural interest. Where restoration was not possible, the current owner has chosen only the highest quality traditional materials. These include a handcrafted solid oak staircase, solid oak internal doors and shutters, and oak double-glazed window units that blend harmoniously with the age and integrity of the building. Heating combines authenticity with practicality. A wood-burning insert in the salon and a traditional wood-fired range in the kitchen-diner provide warmth and atmosphere, while discreet thermostatically controlled electric panel radiators throughout the house ensure consistent year-round comfort. The ground floor offers a welcoming entrance hall leading to a spacious eat-in kitchen and a large, light-filled salon, along with a bathroom and separate WC. Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms are complemented by a well-appointed family shower room with WC. Immediately adjoining the house is a substantial open-fronted barn with stairs descending to a cellar, offering excellent storage or potential workshop space. To the east of the property stands an impressive 200m² barn which, like the main house, has been thoughtfully renovated and is currently arranged as four separate workshop and storage areas, presenting considerable scope for hobbyists, artisans or those seeking further development opportunities. The mature gardens extend to over 5,000m² and lie principally to the south of the property, creating a wonderfully private and sheltered setting. The grounds include many established trees, an original bread oven and a working well, all enhancing the authentic rural charm. Just across the quiet hamlet lane is a further 2,000m² orchard planted with numerous fruit trees, ideal for those wishing to embrace a true country lifestyle. Peacefully situated in a tranquil hamlet, the property enjoys both privacy and convenience. The lively village of Clussais-la-Pommeraie, known for its popular bar and tea rooms, lies just 1.2 km away, while the bustling market town of Lezay, offering shops, restaurants, a supermarket and medical facilities, is approximately a ten-minute drive. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely authentic French stone farmhouse restored with integrity and exceptional attention to detail. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality of workmanship, generous proportions and peaceful setting.
