A rare opportunity to acquire a stunning historical eight-bedroom fully renovated château with beautiful private gardens and swimming pool.

This wonderful chateau has been renovated to a exceptionally high standard and now provides a modern luxurious home whilst still retaining many of its historical features and origins. Originally built for the love interest of a local noble man, this chateau has a romantic past that dates back over 150 years.

Located in a private setting and elevated above street level, the property is surrounded by stone walls and wrought iron gates which provides complete privacy and security. The gardens are beautifully maintained and there is an impressive inground all season - heated and cooled as required- salt water swimming pool with surrounding terrace.

You enter the impressive house into a large luminous hallway where you are immediately greeted by the original beautiful circular staircase.

The kitchen has been designed to a commercial standard to allow for a variety of possibilities, of course it is a wonderful family kitchen but for anyone who wants to run cookery demonstrations, offer in house dining experiences etc, the kitchen is ready for this. The kitchen has a very large commercial gas and electric cooker with double oven, 6 gas burners and hotplate situated within the grand 'château' style fireplace.

Off the kitchen is the laundry and utility room with washing machine and dryer and extensive cupboards.

From the hallway two beautiful oak doors lead to the exceptionally luminous large living room which houses a lovely Napoleonic Black Marble open fireplace. The room has original wooden flooring, high ceilings and an original ceiling rose. There are electric shutters on all windows and the windows face out onto the rear grounds. The rear grounds can be reached through double French doors from the living room which allows for seamless entertaining.

To the left of the living room area is the very large dining room that is entered by two solid oak doors. Lovely panelling surrounds the room. Two large double windows open up the view onto the rear grounds, pool area and the village church.

To the left of the entrance there is a good sized ground floor bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. There are two large storage rooms with extensive shelving. A separate WC is located in the hallway.

Ascending the magnificent oak circular stairway with sisal runner and iron railings you arrive at a large landing. Off the landing you will find four beautifully renovated bedrooms 3 of which have new en-suite bathrooms. With 3m high ceilings, the spacious bedrooms are all flooded with natural light.
