EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! This magnificent 6-bedroomed maison du maître has been very stylishly renovated to create elegant light-filled reception rooms, a beautifully fitted kitchen and a range of very useful outbuildings including an annex, workshops and a garage. Situated in the heart of the picturesque village of Dampierre-sur-Boutonne, this superb property is approached through an imposing gated entrance from where a gravelled driveway leads through the front garden (areas of lawn and hedging with magnificent specimen palm trees) and continues past the main house to a lovely large secluded garden which is laid mainly to lawns with specimen trees.

The garden is partly enclosed by the moat of the nearby Chteau, as it was without doubt originally part of the Chteau parkland. There is also a fabulous open fronted barn currently used for outdoor entertaining, a Japanese garden, a raised wooden terrace with jacuzzi and further paved terrace. Together the whole plot extends to 3360m or just under an acre. The main house is arranged over 3 floors; the ground floor comprising an entrance hall, a large dual aspect salon with feature fireplace, a library, the stunning fitted kitchen, a utility room, boiler room and a W.C.

From the entrance hall a beautiful original turned staircase rises to a large landing serving 3 bedrooms, a dressing room and a luxury bathroom. The staircase continues to the top floor and opens to a large reception room off which are arranged three further bedrooms, a bathroom with corner bath and a separate WC. A substantial range of connected outbuildings run along one side of the property, one of which has been converted into a small guest annex with open plan living/bedroom with separate shower room and W.C.

The rest of the outbuildings comprise two storage rooms, a workshop and a garage, all with second storey. The outbuildings are Renaissance style and were originally part of the Chteau's domain. All have great potential. Dampierre-sur-Boutonne is a lively and much sought-after village with a unique Renaissance Chteau, shop/bar, hairdresser and an artisan bakery. The larger commercial centres of Saint-Jean-d'Angély and Surgères (with its TGV connection) are within easy reach.
