This fully renovated manor house, dating from 1880, offers approximately 373 m² of living space set within a 2,334 m² plot featuring a garden and outbuildings, located just 10 km from Angoulême. The residence combines classic French elegance with beautiful salons and reception rooms, 9 bedrooms, and stunning views of the Charente.

The Manor House

This Neoclassical villa, dating from the Napoléon III era, is situated in a village with a population of around 2,000 inhabitants. The walled property ensures privacy and seclusion. The central part of the building reflects the architectural style of the late 1880s. At the rear, a terrace leads into the garden, which is suitable for development and has space for a swimming pool. The living areas feature original fireplaces, retaining the character of the period. The nine bright bedrooms are spread over two floors, offering expansive views.

History and Architecture

The village is located a few kilometres from Angoulême, above the Charente River, and was once the seat of the Seigneurie of the Abbey of Saint-Cybard. In the 19th century, it became a centre for paper manufacturing, with the Laroche-Joubert family playing a prominent role during this time. Remnants of this industrial past can still be seen in former mills, originally used for grinding flour and oil, later converted to paper production; one of these is now a paper museum. The manor house’s Mansard roof, with its broken pitch, creates generous ceiling heights on the upper floors - a notable architectural feature inspired by the work of Pierre Lescot at the Louvre.
