House Saint-Jean-d'Angély (17)

Character house in St Jean d'Angély
It is in the heart of Charente Maritime in the center of Saint Jean d'Angély that this former winery from the 1880s is located, a remarkable and recognized house because it was once the property of a large family of Cognac merchants.
The entrance is through the old porch where we still find traces of the past of this large house with the typically Charentais ocher coating preserved on some walls. Completely revisited and renovated by its owners, this house of 350m² of living space harmoniously combines the charm of the old and the elegance of the contemporary.
The entrance opens onto a living and reception room of 115m², it includes 3 reception areas, a beautiful kitchen which invites conviviality and exchange, a second space in the center where you stop to enjoy the fireplace while enjoying the excitement of the kitchen and the last space desired in the spirit of relaxation with the television corner and the library.
Every detail, from the floors to the walls painted in deep hues, evokes a timeless chic, perfectly matched to the original stones.
On one level there is a beautiful suite comprising a bedroom and its bathroom where the owners have preserved and completely restored a magnificent Renaissance ceiling and a door decorated with motifs which are a nice nod to the history of the place . Via a first staircase, you access a room of approximately 67m² ideal for creating a large suite, a guest bedroom, a games room, an artists' studio... The second staircase gives access to the sleeping area and offers therefore 2 large bedrooms with a shower room and a separate WC, a TV and storage lounge and a suite with shower room and WC.
A 560m² south-facing garden with trees, decorated with terraces, one of which is covered, offers a superb outdoor space in the heart of the city.
The bold mix of the old and the contemporary makes this house, with its certain charm, a unique property.
Large garage in the old cellar where the barrels were formerly stored, a very pleasant courtyard to enjoy summer and mid-season evenings while being sheltered.
The property is organized around a private interior courtyard and not overlooked.
