Located in a small French town, with the usual amenities and within easy reach of large cities (and airports) with numerous shopping malls, and visitor attractions.

Consisting of owner`s accommodation on the ground floor, entrance hall, large lounge, circular kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, store room and cellar. Large function room. The holiday accommodation comprises of lounge, circular dining room, small breakfast kitchen and lobby to small patio. On the first floor divided into two wings are 2 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms on each side. On the second floor on one side is a master suite with bathroom, and on the other side a family suite with bathroom.

The town has no restaurant facilities and we feel that this beautiful building could easily become renowned locally as a wonderful location to eat – utilising a vast room with good access for the paying public !! An amazing price for beautiful chateaux set in pretty manageable walled gardens. Situated in a perfect location for a grand family home and offering an excellent business opportunity as characterful accommodation for visitors to the area.

Built approximately in 1880 there are some amazing features which have been carefully preserved or renovated by the current owners, including reinstatement of the original turrets and decorations to some of the main rooms.

Entering the property through double metal gates there is a large ancient distillery which was once owned by the lord of the chateaux this is not a very attractive building however it does offer cover to the car parking area and total privacy. This area is shielded from the front of the chateaux by a line of mature trees. There is an impressive well stocked flower bed in the middle of the circular drive which is a feature of the front of the property.

Two grand steps lead up to the double opening solid wooden entrance door going into the entrance hall which is split into 2 parts.

In the first entrance part there is a ceiling rose and original arched cornice, part panelled walls, radiator and there is a door to the large cellar. Original tiled mosaic floor and door to the second part of the hall with double opening solid wood doors leading out to the attractive sun terrace and compact garden. There is a curved ceiling, part panelled walls, radiator and a monogram of the original owners initials set into the mosaic floor.
