19th century ch�teau with great home or business potential

This grand property, located south of Niort in the Deux Sevres, has seven bedrooms (with room for more) and is currently operated as a successful bed and breakfast business.

Built around 1880 in a village near Niort, this ch�teau has been renovated to a high standard throughout and retains many beautiful architectural features. The present owners have made a small business of bed and breakfast and this could well be expanded if the new owners wished.

The property could also, of course, be a wonderful family house to be proud of. The Marais Poitevin (Green Venice), the ports and islands of the Vend�e and Charente Maritime, the Puy du Fou plus many other places of interest for tourists are within easy reach.

Ground Floor

Currently the accommodation consists of owners' lounge (30 sq m), bedroom (13 sq m) with ensuite bathroom (4.5 sq m) and circular kitchen (16 sq m). Plus on the other side of the impressive hall, guests lounge (30 sq m), circular dining room (16 sq m) and breakfast kitchen (7.5 sq m) with large games room adjacent (36 sq m).

The games room is currently being converted to increase the potential size of the owners' accommodation with two further bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen / living room space.

A large cellar (55 sq m) provides useful storage space or could be used for further guest space if converted (subject to relevant planning permissions).
