Saint-Martin Lodge stands majestically near the medieval city and along the Sèvre Niortaise river. This former manor house dating from 1690, which became a renowned hotel and restaurant in recent years, is ideally situated between Poitiers and Niort, just 2 hours from Paris. Built on a rectangular plot of 3,500m², its distinctive feature is a massive cylindrical tower, formerly used as a dovecote and now renovated into an apartment. This verdant property includes: a tree-lined park, a swimming pool measuring 11m by 4.5m with shower, technical room, and a large covered terrace perfect for entertaining. Inside, the 55m² reception room impresses with its preserved period features: delicate mouldings, open fireplace, antique mirrors. As the true heart of the house, it evokes elegance and refinement. This is followed by a professional kitchen of 74m² fully equipped with stainless steel fixtures, refrigeration units, and a wine cellar. A suite with bathroom, separate toilet, laundry room, and technical room complete this ground floor. Upstairs, the sleeping area is distinguished by magnificent stone staircases lined with red carpet, serving no fewer than twelve bedrooms. Nine of these are equipped with shower rooms and three with full bathrooms including toilets. All bedrooms have air conditioning/reversible heat pumps. Thanks to its assets, Saint-Martin Lodge offers quality amenities in a calm and prestigious setting. Located on the Route to Santiago de Compostela, in immediate proximity to the town centre, shops, and the TGV train station, this rare property on the market is sure to charm you.
