Romantic Chateau with Guest Cottages on Small Parkland …

Property Description

A finely built country chateau for sale occupying the central part of a verdant valley with glorious views. The setting is such that the property, grounds and pool give total privacy to the occupants.

Built in the attractive local pale stone, the chateau presents two contrasting facades composed of symmetrical architectural features. Viewed from the east, two towers join a wisteria-clad facade with central pediment and classical balustrade. From the west a more romantic facade is framed by two wings of outbuildings. This courtyard contains a 19-metre pool with two rows of Florentine Cypress trees. The accommodation, in excess of 500 square metres, has a delightful flow of light and gracious rooms, ideal for house parties and entertaining, balanced by more intimate rooms suitable for family use.

Guest and staff cottages, sharing a separate drive, are self-contained and particularly well appointed with individual central heating. There is further potential for developing a small, unrestored stone cottage.

An avenue of majestic cedars approaches the chateau and extends onto mature parkland with further feature cedars, lines of poplars and centenarian oaks. An all-weather tennis court is ideally set beside an orchard and flower meadow with wild orchids.
