Beautiful Eighteenth Century manor house with 8 bedrooms, set in mature grounds with swimming pool, yet close to the amenities of this vibrant French town.

The impressive character property sits in a large mature walled plot of 4,383m2, with a fabulous heated pool hidden within the rampart walls. It was once the home of one of Napoleon Bonaparte’s generals and is in excellent condition.

The current owners have carried out a spectacular renovation including the creation of 8 bedrooms, 6 of which are en-suite.
The house can be enjoyed as a large family home or can be easily divided into two completely separate wings ; one with 3 bedrooms and the other with 5, but each with its own entrance, kitchen and independent living space – ideal for extended family living or to earn extra income as a letting unit.
Alternatively, the layout offers a ready to open chambre d’hotes business, with private owners accommodation – and there is still a large attic (200m2) that could be further developed (subject to necessary permissions).

The property benefits from being connected to mains drainage, has a new wood pellet central heating boiler and is connected to fibre broadband. New bathrooms and kitchens have been installed throughout.

With its large spacious rooms and high ceilings, its original wide wooden staircase and around 500m2 of flexible habitable space, this historic manor house is in the ideal location for anyone seeking either a family home, hospitality business, or those who simply wish to take advantage of such a beautiful, private space with the added benefits of being within a popular town just a few steps away from the covered market, shops, schools and cafes of this bustling French town. – a very rare find.
