Poitiers, Charente 86000

A manor house, two gites and outbuildings in 8 hectares of wooded grounds in a village, 30 minutes from Poitiers. A small country road runs alongside the property wall to a gate enhanced by two pillars supporting an imposing, sober iron gate. Once past the entrance, two houses appear on either side, each with its own private outdoor space, and further on, there are outbuildings. The manor house is revealed next, followed by the grounds. The main building dates back to the last years of the 18th century, the Directoire period. A wing and stairway tower were added at the beginning of the 20th century copying the original style. A bossed arch on the facade highlights the entrance, which is topped by a balcony. Pedimented dormer windows have been added to the concave Mansard roof on the manor house. The wing has a four-sided slate roof. Render has been applied to all of the facades and the corner ties and window frames are ashlar. Under the 20th century wing, there is a cellar which is accessible from the outside. The two guest houses, situated at the entrance to the estate, one with a small private courtyard and the other with a garden area, are the same style, with stone dressings and canal tile roofs.
