Parthenay, Charente 79200

On the edge of the medieval town of Parthenay, a country residence which is a great place to live. The residence, soberly elegant, is a blend of a manor house, a bourgeois house and a farmhouse. The main facade offers two parts without any unnecessary frills. The staggered rear facade overlooks the vast swimming pool and the park, meadow and forest, covering almost 2 hectares in total. The reception rooms are on the ground floor of the two main buildings, open on one side or the other: billiard room-library, lounge with woodwork and fireplace, dining room with fireplace, large study opening onto the entrance hallway, near the main staircase. The property offers a large number of utility rooms: a kitchen where the family can share their meals if they so wish, a scullery, a laundry room, a larder and a toilet. The first floor comprises five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a shower room and two toilets. Not to mention a small games room and three dressing rooms. On the third floor, a hallway boasting a Japanese garden serves particularly spacious areas: a bedroom under the impressive exposed framework, a dressing room, a bathroom with round bathtub and a toilet. The roof, windows, electricity and plumbing have recently been renewed. In addition to the 472 m2 of the villa, there are the pool house (summer dining room and sanitary facilities downstairs, gym upstairs) and the outbuildings: small orangery, dovecote, shed, garage, bicycle shed. Two heat pumps (the swimming pool has its own) supply in turn radiators that are both imposing and discreet, clearly demonstrating the extreme care taken to ensure the comfort of the premises. All windows and doors are double-glazed. Several VMCs (whole-house mechanical ventilations). Partial cellar.
