Poitou-Charentes, Deux-Sèvres, Lezay, France

Grand and well maintained former merchants house, which is set very close to the centre of the thriving market town of Lezay and has a lovely walled garden with a private swimming pool.

With over 500m2 of living accommodation, this already very large property and the substantial attics could (subject to the necessary consents) be converted to provide further accommodation.

On entering the main house, the large entrance hall leads to a superb 60m2 conservatory which runs the length of one wing of the property. Doors open on one side of this conservatory to the terrace, swimming pool and gardens and on the other to the magnificent interconnecting salon and dining room, both with marble floors, stained glass windows and feature fireplaces as well as to the fitted kitchen and a downstairs bathroom.

The other wing of the property has 2 large reception rooms, a downstairs bedroom with a bathroom/WC.

First floor, via an impressive turned staircase: shower room with a WC and 4 further bedrooms (1 of which is currently used as a dressing room) and the staircase continues up to the second floor and it's 100m2+ of attics.

From the rear of the kitchen, a door leads to a laundry room wit an attached workshop and through to a small hall with old flagstone floor, a street entrance and stairs to 2 bedrooms, shower room and separate WC. This part of the property was previously a separate cottage but has now been incorporated into the main house and is currently used as guest accommodation.

The walled and part wooded park with its paved sun terrace and in ground pool are unusually large for a town centre property, extending to just over 2,600m2 and offers a high degree of privacy for entertaining and relaxing by the pool in the summer sunshine.

The property benefits from a recently installed oil-fired boiler and connection to mains drainage.
