Beautifully renovated medieval chateau
A beautiful and superbly renovated chateau with charm and character, light and spacious rooms, nestled in a private park of 24 acres (9.5 hectares).
Located 30 minutes from Poitiers with airport and train to Paris (TGV 1h30). 2 minutes from cafe, wine shop and bakery.
Built as a chateau-forte (defensive castle) in the early 1500s, protected by moats, the chateau was later extended and given an elegant Renaissance facade. It today offers 765 m2 of light and comfortable living space spread over 3 floors.
- Lower garden level:
A character entrance hall with original, beautifully restored limestone floor leading to a spacious kitchen with AGA cooker, central island, seating and views. Adjacent is a dining room with pizza oven. There are two large bedrooms with shared bathroom - and on the outside terrace a wood fired jacuzzi. There's a laundry-utility room and well equipped cellar.
- The main entrance, middle floor, is accessed via a footbridge (draped in flowering wisteria in spring) which traverses the dry moat:
- Main floor : Grand doors opening onto a spacious entrance hall with oak floor and high ceiling and which gives access to a Red salon (piano room), Green salon, small library and 4 large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. All rooms with marble fireplaces. A separate guest WC is found in the main entrance hall.
- Upper floor : a vast and gorgeous entertainement space (273 m2) with exposed beams, skylights, two wood burning stoves, a side kitchen and a bedroom with corner shower. Main and side stairs to lower floors.
This elegant home boasts well-preserved original details and modern comforts such as the efficient central heating provided by a Hargassner wood chips burner (located in the grange).
The chateau is warm and snug in winter and pleasantly cool and light in summer.
The grange also holds a caretaker cottage with accommodation over two floors (94 m2) with entrance hall, kitchen, lounge with wood burner, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms -, a garage (coach house) and ample space for storage.
The private park covers 9.5 hectares (24 acres) with moat, floral gardens, fruit orchard, canal, terraced vegetable garden, cast iron greenhouse, meadow, river and 5 hectares of woodland with oak and native species.
Immediately around the castle tower magnificent exotic trees centuries old.
The estate is crossed by a small river that feeds the canal found below the castle.
This is a tranquil and beautiful property, superbly well presented throughout - turnkey - with privacy and countryside views. Only 30 minutes from commerce, culture, transport and airport. (15 mins to supermarkets. 2 mins to boulanger).

Discuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
To arrange a callback, please email in-confidence@beauxvillages.com
