Former Mill On The Thouet River

€379,000

On the banks of the Thouet, this former mill has the rare pleasure of being directly connected to the water while remaining within easy reach of the life of the town. The property combines a generous main house, three guest suites, an independent apartment and outdoor spaces that step all the way down to the river’s edge. It is a house with several lives already built into it.

The main accommodation is arranged for easy single-level living. A light-filled sitting room and large fitted kitchen form the heart of the house, with plenty of room for everyday family life and shared meals. Three bedrooms sit alongside an office, a room for leisure or relaxation, a shower room and WC, giving the ground floor a generous and flexible arrangement.

Upstairs, three further suites each have their own private shower room and WC. They are currently used for a bed and breakfast business, but could equally become guest accommodation for a large family or a collection of particularly private bedrooms. Practical storage and service rooms are discreetly incorporated elsewhere in the building.

The independent apartment, approximately 65 m² and reached through its own entrance, adds another dimension. It includes a living room with fitted kitchen and two bedrooms, each with a private shower room. Currently let until June 2027, it provides an established separate accommodation space while leaving open future possibilities.

Outside, the house really comes into its own. A large terrace extends directly from the living areas above the Thouet, while a courtyard looks towards the Château des Ducs. Steps lead down to a furnished area at the water’s edge, and the private millrace is a wonderful reminder of what the building once was. A storage outbuilding and two partially floodable cellars complete the property. With the river moving past, the old mill has found a new rhythm, one that leaves plenty of room for family life, guests and the simple pleasure of living beside the water.
