5 Bed House for sale
Jonzac, Charente-Maritime, Poitou-Charentes, France
Full Description
Set in over a hectare of enchanting, mature gardens, this beautiful and historic French manor house is full of charm, character, and potential.
Approached through its own gated drive, the property enjoys peace, privacy, and lovely uninterrupted countryside views across the surrounding sunflower fields and Cognac vineyards. The house offers generous living spaces with an imposing salon featuring a majestic stone fireplace that opens directly onto the glorious gardens. A separate dining room and a spacious kitchen/diner provide the perfect setting for both entertaining and everyday family life. Accommodation includes five large bedrooms — one on the ground floor with its own shower room, and four further bedrooms plus the family bathroom on the first floor.
Beyond the main house, a number of outbuildings add to the property’s appeal, including an independent cottage full of original features, awaiting renovation to create a charming guesthouse or gîte (subject to necessary permissions).
The extensive grounds are a highlight: rose-covered walks, formal gardens, ancient trees, and an abundant orchard - all just needing some TLC to be brought back to their former glory. To the rear of the house, a very private garden with outstanding uninterrupted views leads to what was once a large family swimming pool, unused for many years and now ready to be restored.
Rich in character and full of history, yet offering scope for sympathetic updating, this elegant manoir has all the hallmarks of a truly exceptional residence, whether as a family home, an elegant country retreat, or a refined holiday residence in one of France’s most sought-after regions, just outside the thriving spa town of Jonzac — with its many restaurants, shops, and a train station offering connections to Bordeaux in just 40 minutes, and only 50 km from the coast.
A home rich in history and character, simply awaiting some love and care to bring it fully back to life.
