The house is approached by a gated, gravelled driveway leading through the front garden with distinctive palm trees, continuing past the main house, to a large lawned garden with fruit trees and partly surrounded by the original Château moat. Together with a raised wooden terrasse complete with jacuzzi, there is a large open fronted barn used for outdoor entertaining. The garden is almost an acre.
Set over three levels, the house provides generous living space:
Ground floor: Welcoming entrance hall, bright dual-aspect sitting room with original, feature fireplace and over mantle mirror, a library also with original marble fireplace, a large modern fitted kitchen with eating area. There is also a boiler room for the oil-fired central heating, utility room and guest WC. All rooms except utility have underfloor heating.
First floor
Leading from the entrance hall via an original, beautiful, turned staircase, there are four bedrooms, all with original wooden floors, the main bedroom being double aspect and a luxury bathroom with underfloor heating. All rooms have radiators. The curved staircase continues to the top floor consisting of a large living area, three further bedrooms, a bathroom with corner bath and a separate WC.
Outdoors
The property invites relaxation and leisure with several sitting and dining areas perfect for enjoying the mature gardens. Running along one side of the property is a row of Renaissance buildings, formerly outbuildings of the Château, now comprising a converted guest room with open plan living/bedroom and en suite shower room. The other buildings are currently used as a workshop, two for storage and a large garage. There is a long second floor. All are suitable for conversion to habitable accommodation and an income stream.
With its combination of authentic period features, thoughtful modern upgrades and an exceptional location in one of Charente Maritime’s most picturesque villages it is ideally situated as a prestigious family home or as a base for a hospitality project. Dampierre sur Boutonne, surrounded by the Boutonne tributaries is within one hour of both La Rochelle & Poitiers airports and the Atlantic coast. It is forty minutes from the tgv link in Surgères. A rare opportunity not to be missed.
