Description
A rare gem brimming with charm and authenticity, this elegant 18th-century property offers timeless appeal and refined living in the heart of the sought-after village of Port-Sainte-Foy-et-Ponchapt, with all amenities just a short stroll away.
Beautifully maintained and full of original features, the home boasts high ceilings, original wooden floors, and traditional tomette tiles. A welcoming entrance hall runs the length of the house, flanked by generous, light-filled rooms. To one side, an elegant living room with two open fireplaces opens directly onto a secluded, flower-filled courtyard, while the opposite side houses a spacious dining area leading to a well-equipped kitchen with direct access to the large, peaceful garden. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the generous vaulted cellar, conveniently accessed from the kitchen.
Upstairs, a wide central landing leads to four large and elegant bedrooms, each filled with natural light. One bedroom features a charming Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard. Two bathrooms and a walk-in wardrobe complete the upper floor. A fully insulated attic offers excellent potential for conversion into further accommodation, if desired.

A two-car carport and a versatile barn—ideal as a workshop, studio, or additional storage—add to the property’s practicality. The garden is accessible from both the house and a gated entrance.
Modern upgrades include double-glazed windows, a new gas central heating boiler, main drainage connection, and a solid, well-maintained roof—ensuring comfort and peace of mind.
