house for sale Saint-Jean-d'Angély, Charente-Maritime

This attractive former water mill is situated in a peaceful corner of this vibrant market town, offering a wealth of charm and history together with substantial accommodation and development potential. The property was originally two houses and still retains two staircases, allowing for flexible use as a large family home, the creation of several independent apartments or even a boutique hotel. On the ground floor, the property comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, a spacious and wellequipped kitchen, and a large characterful room featuring a bar area and views of the water below. There are also two attractive bedrooms, a shower room, and a separate WC. All the rooms on this level are double glazed and benefit from heating provided by a pompe à chaleur (heat pump). On the first floor, one part of the house includes three rooms, one of which is currently used as a bedroom, and a suite of adjoining rooms suitable for conversion into an independent apartment with its own kitchen, living room, shower room, and WC. The second part of this floor could also form an independent apartment and currently includes five distinct rooms. All but three windows on this level have double glazing. The second floor comprises two halves: one is already fitted out as a fourroom apartment with gas central heating, its own electricity supply, and strong rental potential. The other half has been insulated and is ready for further development. Outside, there are various outbuildings and storage areas, as well as an attractive garden which extends along the fork in the canal, providing a beautiful setting and a reminder of the property’s origins as a working mill. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of character and versatility, offering both immediate comfort and scope for further enhancement.
