Historic building in the heart of the city with terrace

In the heart of the city of Art and History of Fontenay-le-Comte, this XIIIth century building partially to be refreshed of about 204 m2 takes place on a 215 m2 plot.

Once part of the Notre-Dame Priory, a true witness to the history of the town, this residence became the seat of the Guinefolle Lordship in the 16th century. This place offers a way of life at the center of all activities and in contact with a rich past.

On the first floor, the property offers a vast space with a kitchen and dining room communicating with a large living room in which the history of the building springs forth from all sides. The superb French ceiling rises to almost three meters, the monumental stone fireplace supported by two sculpted griffins and the door on which a buckwheat can be seen operate as a real time machine. The hall hosting the stairwell opens onto a small courtyard that offers a second independent access to the house. The beautiful three-quarter turn wooden staircase leads to the second floor, where the landing leads to three bright bedrooms on a massive parquet floor with generous volumes and a bathroom.The second floor distributes three additional bedrooms with high ceilings, each equipped with a water point, allowing to improve the comfort of a large family house or to consider a project of guest rooms.

A large well exposed suspended terrace offers an exceptional view of the Church and the magnificent architectural elements of the neighboring properties which undeniably invite contemplation. The property also has a garage, a small shed and a magnificent vaulted cellar of a very beautiful volume.

This house of character is located one minute walk from all the amenities of the heart of the city, 8 minutes from the motorways, 35 minutes from Niort and 50 minutes from La Rochelle.
