Magnificent 15th century château - 7 beds, 6 baths, triple garage, barn, horse boxes, 4+ hectares of land

We are delighted to bring this magnificent 15th century château to market. In good condition and fully restored this exceptional property is ready to enjoy. You will find all of the historic character and charm you would expect, but with modern upgrades to enhance the living experience. Set in over 4 hectares (roughly 11 acres) of land, including mature trees and a small lake, this property has plenty to offer as either a family home, or as a destination venue. The principal building offers 4 large bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities, a fitted and fully equipped kitchen, enormous reception rooms, plus office space, cellar and large attic. The detached cottage provides 3 further double bedrooms and is itself very well presented. There are facilities for horses, plus a triple garage, barn and other outbuildings. This is a truly impressive package and hard to beat.

Enter through the remote controlled gates, where you are greeted by the imposing front of the property. Through the front door into the large entrance hallway (15m wide x 3m deep), which connects all the rooms on the ground floor, you get first sight of the impressive spiral staircase. At one end of the hallway is the lounge, measuring 8m x 4m. The larger reception room is 9.9m x 4.86m and can be accessed either directly from the hallway, the lounge or the kitchen. The kitchen is 6.4 m x 4m with a substantial fireplace. The sun-room delivers 8m x 3.5m of space with views on three sides. There is a separate toilet on this floor, plus access down into the cellar. Up to the first floor, there are 4 large bedrooms, (all similar in size of around 5.9m x 4m each), all with excellent views over the rear of the property. One has a bathroom en-suite, the others have showers. Up the spiral staircase again to find the office and access into the enormous attic. With several windows in place, the attic offers potential to be converted into additional living space. The separate cottage is perfect for either paying guests, or to have friends and family to stay. With a fitted kitchen/ diner, large lounge, 3 double bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room the cottage offers very comfortable accommodation. Outside on the grounds there is a triple garage supplied with electricity, a barn, another outbuilding and boxes for 2-3 horses. The land is a mix of open paddock, mature trees and a small lake of around 2,000 square metres.
