Installed at the top of the fortifications of the Citadel of Parthenay, this former presbytery dating from the 19th century has seen its 440 m2 completely renovated.

This exceptional residence amazes with its breathtaking view, high-end services and the opportunity to experience a piece of history.

If the Canons of the Holy Cross have marked the past of the place, the house is well anchored in the present with high-end services. Its courtyard and its majestic facade are welcoming, imposing solemnity, while the interior offers an elegant blend of authenticity and modernity. The comfortable fully equipped kitchen, the dining room and the living room make up a living space of almost 80 m2. A warm atmosphere emerges near the wood burning pole or to the sound of the piano which sits in the heart of the room.

The living room opens to the outside enjoying a breathtaking view of the surrounding nature.

A spacious office and laundry area complete this level. An iron and wood staircase bearing witness to the times takes you to the four levels of the building. The first floor is dedicated to sleeping areas distributed by a large landing. The three bedrooms and the master suite with quality fittings each have a private bathroom.

The second floor has been equipped to give pride of place to art. Music, first of all, with a recording studio which will delight more than experienced artists and a 52 m2 cinema room dedicated to the 7th art.

Projection booth, armchairs, screen and sound system to experience a film rather than watch it. History invites itself during the visit through its 13th century fortifications and its memorable pink granite which constitutes the contours of its double terraced garden.

At nightfall, this property offers an incredible spectacle with the tinged glow of the sunset over the valley and the Thouet which flows at the foot of the pink tower. Also dominating the historic center of Parthenay, the property is located a few meters from its castle, its cobbled streets and its 12th century half-timbered facades. The experience is meant to be unique and magical.
