Along the Charente, in a pretty village in the SAintonge hinterland, labeled “small town of character,” “stone and water village,” and “cities and crafts,” this 19th-century house invites you to travel back in time… Its character and elegance, noble materials, and spacious rooms will instantly captivate you, while its intimate gardens, by the river and on the cliff edge, invite daydreaming… Follow me for the tour…

We will enter through a superb hallway, with a floor covered in gorgeous period cement tiles that set the tone for the rooms to come… On either side, we will discover a 27 m² sunny living room with a beautiful fireplace, a 20 m² dining room overlooking the garden, a 12 m² independent kitchen, a 17 m² bedroom, and a bathroom with a toilet.

We will then take the old wooden staircase to the four magnificent bedrooms on the upper floor (11.4 m², 18.3 m², 20.8 m², and 37.8 m²). You will discover them “as in the old days,” with their floorboards, exposed beams on the ceilings. One of the bedrooms reveals a true patrimonial treasure: an authentic panorama printed on dominoes (with all its boards) by Dufour dating from before 1827, adding a further touch of authenticity. A truly authentic setting that plunges us into the last century… A bathroom, a separate toilet, and a 48 m² games room complete this level.

Finally, on the second floor, we discover a fifth bedroom of 17 m² and two attics of 35 m² and 51 m², which offer a superb view of the traditional framework.

Back on the ground floor, you can easily imagine having breakfast on the East-facing terrace with old stones on the floor and an authentic arch inviting you to discover the garden… On the other side of the street, West-facing, you will be drawn by the Charente, inviting you to dine at sunset…

To perfect this family property, you will enjoy a large attached garage and a technical room. The property is equipped with oil-fired heating, simple-glazed wooden joinery, and is connected to the main sewer. It is just awaiting its future owners to be fully renovated and lived in again…

Regarding its surroundings, the house is located on a quiet, flowered street in Saint-Savinien, a village between Saintes and Rochefort offering numerous amenities (about fifteen shops, weekly market, nurseries, schools, middle school, train station, medical hub, pharmacy, supermarket, art-house cinema…), all reachable on foot from the property. Saint-Savinien is a charming, historic town that has modernized and remained dynamic with numerous cultural events offered year-round!

So don’t wait any longer: if this unique place has touched you with its authenticity, charm, and refinement, if it matches your family home project, if it answers your professional ambitions, or if it allows you to develop tourist hospitality activities… contact me to receive the virtual tour and discover together its full potential: Alexandre Lascu -
