House in Coulonges-sur-l'Autize

Located 20 minutes west of Niort and its TGV station, this former 17th-century mill offers 229 sq m of living space. Set on 2 hectares of land bordered by the river, it enjoys a beautiful green setting. During its restoration, original features were highlighted, such as the mill’s mechanism, the beams, the walls, and the stone fireplace in the living room. The house comprises welcoming family rooms, three bedrooms including a master suite, and two bathrooms. Outbuildings complete the property, including an open barn, small sheds, a bread oven, and a workshop. The garden features an orchard and a vegetable patch.
