Pays de la Loire, Vendée, Pouille, France

Delightful Maison de Maitre in a small village just 10 minutes from the pretty town of Fontenay-Le-Comte - well known for its artistic and Renaissance heritage - and a 30 minute drive from the Atlantic coast with all of its beautiful beaches and seaside towns.

Set in almost 2 acres with lovely pool area, the property includes 6 bedrooms, 5 luxury bathrooms, a large garden including a heated swimming pool and a series of outbuildings offering further potential.

The house consists of an entrance hall leading to the family kitchen/diner with woodburner and door to the rear garden, a living room/TV room with fireplace and another door to the rear garden and a dining room that can easily seat up to twelve guests. The hallway also has a door leading down to the wine cellar.

Off from the kitchen is a handy laundry room and downstairs shower room with exterior access to the pool area.

A door then leads through to the most stunning 92m2 double-height living room with floor to ceiling windows, a woodburner and a mezzanine - a truly fabulous barn conversion.

Up the stairs from the living room, the mezzanine landing leads to two en-suite bedrooms and then to a beautiful super-king suite overlooking the garden with a stunning luxury bathroom including roll-top bath neatly hidden behind traditional French doors.

A second staircase leading up from the main hallway leads to a further three huge bedrooms, all with garden views, and a family bathroom.

Attached to the property are a series of outbuildings including an old cottage to renovate, garage, barns and some small sheds, all of which offer great potential for further development into separate accommodation (depending on the relevant planning permissions).

Behind the grand entrance gates there is a driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, a front and side garden leading round to the gorgeous rear garden with lavender-lined pathways, superb pool area with wooden terracing and an outdoor comfy seating area, fantastic covered terrace and fully equipped summer kitchen area (perfect for alfresco dining), lawned areas including many mature trees and even a large orchard.

This property has so much to offer a stunning house in a fantastic location so close to the Atlantic coast that lends itself perfectly as either a permanent residence or a fantastic holiday home where all the family can get together and enjoy the sights and climate that this lovely region has to offer.
