Property Description

Nestled in the Haute Vienne countryside, just 40 minutes from Limoges airport, you will find this historic chateau/ manor house and its outbuildings. Dating back to the 15th century, it has been tastefully renovated throughout, but the owner has ensured that the renovations have been carried out in a traditional manner to preserve the original features. The property also includes 27 hectares of land.

The chateau/ manor house has a state of the art geothermal heating system using water from the grounds which can heat the entire building. There is also double glazing throughout.

You enter the building through a large wooden door, into an equally large hallway, with the stone staircase in front of you. To the left is a beautiful drawing room with a large stone fireplace, which leads into the old vaulted guard room, which would make an excellent bar. Beyond is a stone spiral staircase leading to the first floor. To the right of the central staircase is a large kitchen and utility room, through the kitchen is an impressive formal dining room with a stone fireplace.

On the first floor are four very large bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. On the second floor is the cinema/games room with glazed doors. Opposite the cinema room is a door leading to two further very large bedrooms and a very large family bathroom. This would make a perfect family suite for guests. On the third floor is another large room currently used as an office.

Externally to the left of the building is a separate two storey apartment comprising an entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, four double bedrooms and a family shower room.

To the right of the building is a large barn for storage, and to the rear is another large barn which also houses the geothermal heating system. The impressive gardens surrounding the castle are beautifully maintained and there is a large lake which the owners of the castle have permission to use. There is also a jacuzzi.

The chateau/ manor house offers many possibilities, it could be an ideal family residence or could be used to host weddings; the cinema room could also be excellent for conferences. The other very popular commercial interest at the moment is the rental of full service chateaux, with the separate apartment available which could accommodate staff during the rental period, this is another viable option.

With its many possibilities, this impressive building offers you the opportunity to own a piece of history for you and your family, whilst also providing an income.

Photos cannot do justice to the quality of work carried out by traditional craftsmen, the only way to fully appreciate what this castle has to offer is to visit it.
