Property Description

In the very heart of Charente-Maritime, right in the center of Saint-Jean-d’Angély, lies a place steeped in history and emotion: a former wine and spirits storehouse (chai) dating back to 1880, once owned by a prominent Cognac trading family. This remarkable 350 m² residence has been completely reimagined by its current owners, boldly blending the charm of authenticity with contemporary elegance.

From the moment you step inside, the historic character of the property reveals itself. The old carriage entrance sets the tone, while the ochre-colored rendering on some of the walls—typical of the Charente region—serves as a living reminder of the past. The vast 115 m² reception area is beautifully laid out into three inviting spaces: a convivial kitchen open to the dining room, a central lounge area warmed by a fireplace, and a cozy library corner perfect for reading or relaxing.

Every detail has been carefully curated with taste—from the noble flooring materials to the deep-toned painted walls—evoking a timeless sense of sophistication enhanced by the original stonework.

On the ground floor, a precious suite features a fully restored Renaissance ceiling and an antique door adorned with intricate motifs—an elegant nod to the home’s rich history.
A first staircase leads to an open 67 m² space, ready to be transformed to suit your vision: master suite, artist’s studio, game room, or guest accommodation.
The second staircase leads to the main sleeping quarters, which include two spacious bedrooms, a shower room, a separate toilet, a TV lounge and storage space, as well as a master suite with its own shower room and a large walk-in wardrobe.

Outside, the 560 m² south-facing garden is lush and private, enhanced by multiple terraces—including one covered—, a large open barn for outdoor dining, and a former barrel storage garage. The entire property is organized around a secluded inner courtyard, ensuring complete privacy.
