Built in the 17th century and retaining its original features this imposing building has open views over the countryside. It exudes charm and elegance. A stone staircase leads to a large wooden door which opens in to an expansive hall which highlights many of the architectural features of the château. A 2m wide stone staircase dominates and it shows the height of the building. Double doors open into a generous formal dining room which also houses a pool table. Like the other rooms on the ground floor it has a period stone fireplace, large double glazed windows set in stone mullions, traditional floor tiles, central heating and 4 m high ceilings with oak beams and doors to other rooms. The equally impressive main lounge is at the front and has windows on two sides to take in the views and an informal dining area close to the galley kitchen. The kitchen is well fitted with blue base and wall units and modern kitchen appliances. Centrally there is another living room currently used as a library and study. Off this room to the front is a child’s bedroom with plenty of space for playing. To the rear is the master bedroom and adjacent to it a modern shower room. Also to the rear is a further double bedroom with its en-suite bathroom. Concealed behind the large mirror is a cupboard housing the washing machine and dryer. In total the ground floor area is about 290m2 and this is replicated on the first floor which also has 5 rooms which require upgrading. The second floor attic is also extensive and would need some configuring as no rooms currently exist and the roof structure is visible. From the hall steps lead down to the a number of vaulted cellars which in the past have been used for wine production and an open fired kitchen and currently the central heating boiler. To the left on each level are storage rooms. On the ground floor it contains the pool machinery and through to a large workshop. From the courtyard in front of the château there is a double garage. A few steps up lead to a 10x5 salt swimming pool surrounded by travertine tiling. A small chapel sits behind the château and it dates back to 1607, before the château was built. Beyond this is a large open agricultural shed. There is also an orangerie which adds to the charm of this domaine. The parkland around the château extends to around 2 hectares and is laid mostly to lawn with numerous mature trees providing shade and perspective to the natural vista. There are some flower and shrub borders in the courtyard. There are terraces outside the french doors to the front and rear. There are also two wells.
