7 rooms, 196m²,  Character property for sale in L'isle jourdain - 230 000 € *

This former distillery is now a very spacious and grand 4-bedroom detached home, just outside the scenic and popular small town of L'Isle Jourdain.
Through the large double oak doors, you enter a wide hallway with original tiled floor and high ceilings, leading to a double-aspect living room with fireplace and a dining room both with hardwood floors, a large bright newly-installed double-aspect kitchen with door to the back terrace (south-facing) and beautiful granite worktops, a utility room and a study room (or extra fifth bedroom) with logburner. From the utility room, a downstairs shower room with WC and washbasin, and a storeroom.
Oak stairs lead from the tiled hallway to 4 large bedrooms (two with washbasins) and a bathroom with bathtub, walk-in shower and WC, and then on up to the huge convertible attic stretching above the house and attached workshop (146m2), plus below that the first floor workshop of 81m2, and on the ground floor a further 54m2 (with separate entrance). So huge scope. And below, a cellar.
The building has a new conforming septic tank suitable for 6 bedrooms, and a quality new car port for two cars.
The property comes with gardens around the house including a hot tub (negotiable); plus two acres of land 30 metres away, ideal for horses, with two garages. Horse riding routes around here are very good.
The proximity of this building to the town (about 1km) and to the nearby motorraccing circuit of Val de Vienne (6km), mean there is also a great bed and breakfast/holiday rental potential here.
The roof was completely re-done about 17 years ago, there is oil central heating to original cast-iron radiators, and ample off-road parking at the front and side of the house, accessed through the electrically-powered iron front gates. Fiber-optic internet connection is available here! (passes the house).
Built as a distillery in the mid 19th century, the house was converted by an architect in 1948.
Above all the house has tons of character and history, huge space, light, and a great location. L'Isle Jourdain has four café-bar/restaurants, supermarket, a weekly market, doctors, swimming pool and tennis courts.
