NIORT, Charente 79000

Designed in 1894 by the architect Georges LASSERON, this neo-Renaissance style mansion is a real emblematic architectural showcase of the historic centre of Niort. With a generous area of 236.50 m2, this apartment-house extends over two levels. The majestic entrance door opens onto a hall of honour with a ceiling height of nearly 4 metres. The marbles of Verona and Carrara combine perfectly with the Roman mosaic which has been completely restored. The gaze naturally extends towards the neoclassical wrought iron gate behind which a signed stained glass window appears. A true masterpiece, it is the centerpiece of the stone staircase. The living room is decorated with three vaults supported by four pillars. A sublime onyx marble fireplace embellishes this historic place in addition to a ceiling painted by an artist from La Rochelle. The dining room has a view of the private garden and the orangery. Four walnut doors with marquee decoration attract attention. One of them gives access to an old oriental smoking room that can be used as an office. The colours of the four elements adorn the walls, doors and ceiling of this room. Access to the kitchen is via a hallway with cupboards and a shower room. The kitchen has been redesigned by an architect and opens onto the garden. A pleasant place, it will delight lovers of gastronomy. Two separate staircases lead upstairs. They serve three large bedrooms, one of which is equipped with a cherry wood dressing room and a shower room. The wrought iron balcony of this room offers a view of the bell tower of a church in Niort, the promise of an enchanting place. A second bathroom is added to the upstairs services. On the right wing, above the kitchen, a suite benefits from a shower room in an unexpected space. As for the garden, rigour is the order of the day. Landscaped, it offers a significant corner of greenery in the city centre. An orangery, visible from the living room, is framed by limestone pillars with brick. The colour of the latter contrasts with the whiteness of the stone and catches the eye. A zinc ornament with volutes, redone identically, completes the architecture of this building. Opposite the latter, the canopy brings an undeniable cachet to the façade in addition to the various stained glass windows and openings of the apartment. This "French-style" garden has an octagonal fountain decorated with four pink and white terracotta medallions reminiscent of a motif from the orangery. A spacious garage with two spaces side by side and three cellars complete the services of this set steeped in history. The main façade of the building was completely renovated in 2014, and the slate roof was completely renovated in 2024.
