6 Bed House for sale
Aumagne, Charente-Maritime, Poitou-Charentes, France
Full Description
This is a magnificent south facing property, believed to have been built from 1820 onwards, nestled in the heart of a private, enclosed garden. The last section, the most luxurious, dates from 1890. Double gates lead onto a gravel terrace. The façade of the house features two unique original features: a large ‘marquise’ (glazed porch) above a majestic white limestone stepway, which serves as the main entrance to the house; and a decorated veranda, featuring wrought ironwork and antique leaded glass windows, known as the ‘winter garden’ from the late 19th century.
The ground floor comprises large, impressive rooms opening onto the garden. The fireplaces are all in working order and surrounded by magnificent mantelpieces, including one in carved oak. The dining room features an exceptional marble mosaic floor, reminiscent of that in the Galerie Vivienne in Paris, studded with gold flakes and created by a Parisian designer.
