Former Coaching House, Amazing Character

This unique 400 year old MEDIEVAL BRIDGE HOUSE (former coach house) is situated on the banks of the river Thouet in Parthenay. It comes with stables, vast courtyard with ample parking, large garage/atelier and private riverbank mooring.

The property benefits from recently installed town gas central heating and mains drains, and also boasts newly renovated roofs. It is in need of some interior updating only and offers huge scope for further development. It would make the ideal Bed et Breakfast with four existing bedrooms and a vast loft (64 m2) with space for 2-3 more bedrooms. The old stables could also be converted into additional bedrooms or living quarters.

Viewing strongly recommended.

The department of Deux Sevres is in the Poitou-Charentes region, in the western part of France below the Pays de la Loire region. In recent times this department has become an ever popular destination for French property buyers. Prices are still reasonable and one cannot help being seduced by the diverse cultural heritage, delicious local cuisine, seafood and of course the lovely rolling countryside.

Deux Sevres has a very mild climate, similar to that of Aquitaine and the Poitou-Charentes region, it is the second sunniest region of France where people adopt a relaxed, simple way of life ideal for holidays and leisure activities.

The transport links are very good too, with five international airports, the TGV (high speed train) in Niort can reach Paris in 2 hours, to Bordeaux in 1hrs 30mins and Toulouse in 4hrs 30mins. Good motorway links to Bordeaux, Nantes, Tours and Paris make it a great location.
