Accessed by a bridge over its original moat, this impressive medieval manor offers historic charm and exciting potential in the peaceful French countryside. Set within 9.2 hectares of land and mature grounds, the estate is ideal for a range of projects—from a boutique B&B to a wedding or events venue, or even an equestrian retreat.
The approach reveals a lawned courtyard with a well and a stone pigeon tower. The manor, built in local stone with a steep slate roof, retains many original features. Inside, a flagstone floor leads to an elegant spiral stone staircase. The ground floor includes a spacious kitchen and grand dining hall with feature fireplace, terracotta tiles, 4-metre-high ceilings, and exposed oak beams. This leads to a large salon with wood panelling, another fireplace, and doors opening onto a grassed area overlooking the moat.
Also on the ground floor are a bathroom, WC, utility room, and a large former kitchen with fireplace—ideal for renovation.
Upstairs, the main bedroom includes a fireplace and dressing room. A landing leads to a small chapel area and two further bedrooms, one with a dressing room. On the second floor is a former servant’s bedroom and a vast attic with vaulted beams.
A separate entrance leads to another large room with fireplace and dressing area—perfect for conversion into a guest suite.
Outbuildings include a bread oven (in need of repair), a collapsed barn, and two further barns beyond the moat. One is a large two-storey barn with stable area; the other is used for hay storage.
Please note: The house currently has no heating, will require a new septic tank, and retains its original wooden windows. It is very much a restoration project for those seeking character and potential.
The property is located just 15 minutes east of Parthenay and approximately 40 minutes from Poitiers, with its many transport links, including tgv connections to Paris.
With its rare architectural heritage, large landholding and flexible layout, this property presents a fantastic opportunity for transformation into a stylish rural business or private residence with equestrian facilities.
