This superb property, on the edge of a bustling village, has been tastefully transformed into a business.
Entering the manor house via the imposing double set of stairs, you arrive directly into the hallway leading in turn into the large banquet hall with original flooring and an impressive fireplace.
An authentic wooden staircase leads up to 4 spacious and airy en suite bedrooms as well as an original chapel with stain glass windows dating back to the 17th century.
Downstairs there is a large vaulted cellar, currently being used as an equipped gymnasium, with tremendous potential for the future owners of this magnificent manor house. From the hallway there is another staircase leading to a split-level 2 bedroom apartment, complete with a fully equipped kitchen/dining room, sitting room and bathroom.
Attached to the manor house is a set of buildings that have been tastefully restored to house 5 gites, each of which offer character and a wealth of original features. All have a fully-equipped kitchen, ample living space, good sized bedrooms and bathrooms and look out over the beautifully presented central courtyard.
To the other side of the courtyard is an impressively large open barn overlooking the well-laid gardens and courtyard. A perfect venue for summer functions and weddings. To the back of this barn there are two further, very tastefully laid out gites, both of which open onto the property's beautiful landscaped garden with trees, the large swimming pool area and a well-sized green space for running around and enjoying the micro-climate of the region.
There are further buildings, currently used for storage but with the potential for additional accommodation. Tucked away in a sheltered corner is a very cute bar, with indoor and outdoor seating and a children's playground. There is heating throughout, both with heat pumps and an oil boiler.
Added to this, if required, is the possibility of additional land.
A small town with shops and restaurants is less than 2km away, 40 minutes by car takes you to Surgeres with its TGV station and the airports of Bordeaux and La Rochelle are very accessible.
This is a rare and exciting opportunity, combining local history with great business potential.
Viewing is highly recommended. Other DPEs are available on request.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
