Part-renovated 17th watermill with river on 2 ha with gite.Deux Sevres

This 17th century (believed to originate from 1656) watermill is approached by driving up a 100 metre tree-lined drive. 
The house itself is situated in an idyllic position surrounded by mature trees with a millstream, the main river and open grounds to the front and sides.

The outside terrace overlooks the millstream and the private island. All together there are over 400m of river/millstream banks. 
The grounds run to 2.66 hectares (6.5 acres).

The house itself is split into two parts - a pleasant two-bedroomed gîte ready to move in immediately, and the main house which needs renovation but could be transformed into an amazing five bedroomed property.

There are endless options for this property. It could be a large family house with guest accommodation or it could be run on a commercial basis as a bed and breakfast.

Gîte
The gîte part of the house has a new kitchen, a new shower room and has been completely redecorated over the last couple of years.

Sitting room (35m2) with woodburner

Bedroom 1 (12m2)

Bedroom 2 (17.5m2)

Kitchen (8.9m2)

Shower room with WC

Main house

The main part of the house has been partly renovated but is basically a blank canvas for the new owners to stamp their own personality. On the ground floor walls have been opened up to create a large open plan living space with a storage room where the mill wheel was originally.

The upstairs currently has six rooms with two of these having small adjoining rooms. These rooms could be configured to make four bedrooms all en-suite.

There is an integral garage of 30m2 with stairs to a boarded attic room that could, subject to permission, be converted to additional accommodation.

There is a large covered sitting area next to the river.

Outside there are 2.66 hectares of land.

All measurements are approximate.

The property is a short drive (five minutes) to the centre of Chef Boutonne. It’s a popular town with primary and secondary schools, two supermarkets, three bars, boulangerie, florists, post office, banks, restaurant, hairdressers, open-air swimming pool, fishing lake at the Chateau Javarzay and a market every Saturday morning. There are often events going on in Chef Boutonne and it is well situated for the airports at Poitiers (75km), La Rochelle (96km), Limoges (125km) or Bordeaux (180km).
