Delightful country château dating back to 1830 with authentic period features (fireplaces, parquet, marble floors). Enormous character and renovated with great taste. Possibility to add 2 large unsuited bedrooms if required and convert towers into guest accommodation. The property is situated on the edge of a small village with all commerces. It enjoys a peaceful position set back from a small country road and is entered through gates with video and interphone.

The short drive leads to the front entrance where steps lead into a beautiful corridor with original period Briare marble mosaic floor. To the left is the beautiful salon with parquet flooring, ceiling with mouldings, marble fireplace, original wood panelling and fabric on walls. Beyond is a very cute “salon de musique”. Also off the salon is an office with access to rear of property. To the right of corridor is large dining room with mosaic floor & fireplace and beyond the spacious kitchen with fitted units and views over park. Downstairs WC and washroom.

Stairs with wrought iron handrails lead to the landing and a small boudoir. The sleeping quarters are divided between the 2 wings with 3 bedrooms and shower room and WC to one side and 2 bedrooms, large very lovely bathroom ( bathtub, washbasin ) and WC to other. All rooms immaculate, light and airy. 3 very large bedrooms and 2 medium.

A further flight of stairs leads to the attic and the former maid’s quarters. There is one small room which requires renovating and 2 very large spaces either side which could quite easily be converted into beautiful bedrooms with access to private terraces above the 2 wings.

Part of the cellars were converted by previous owners into a small theatre where there is a stage, small bar, lighting etc. Oil-fired central heating. There is a small cellar for storing wine. Double garages. Small workshop.
Other outbuildings include 2 3-storey towers which have water and electricity. Lots of charm and could quite easily be converted to give independent accommodation.

Lovely park with tress, lawn and flower beds of some 3800 m².

Possibility to acquire large field at rear of property of 2 acres (price to be announced).
