Chateau

An impressive, light-filled 16 m² (172 sq ft) entrance hall with black and white tiled floor leads into three elegant reception rooms (approx. 342, 247, and 409 sq ft), each with hardwood or tiled floors, fireplaces, and high ceilings. Side corridors lead to the atnospheric dine-in kitchen with its monumental fireplace, a laundry/utility room, and a half bath.

A classic French oak staircase turns gracefully to the upper floors, where five bedrooms are found, including two private suites with en-suite shower rooms, plus an office, a laundry room, and a separate powder room. Every bedroom has at least private washing facilities and most have walk-in dressing rooms. A self-contained caretaker's apartment with bathroom, sitting room, and bedroom is also located on this level.

The top floor offers a renovated office area and a spacious 81 m² (871 sq ft) unfinished attic — originally the servants' quaters and now offering excellent potential for additional bedrooms, a studio, or extra living space.

Apartments & Outbuildings

Arranged in sheltering wings on either side of the main house are the 19th-century stable and carriage blocks incorporating two duplex apartments:

The south wing encompases extenive garaging and a renovated guest annexe of approx. 99 m² (1,065 sq ft) with a kitchen, bedroom, shower room, and living room downstairs, plus a master bedroom with an en-suite bath (to be finished) and a Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard. There is direct access to the grounds from here offering additional privacy to occupants and main house residents.

A two-storey caretaker's cottage (needs renovation) is within North wing with a living room, kitchen, shower room, bathroom, four to five bedrooms, and an attic with potential as a games room. Adjoining this is an internal stable block with 5 loose boxes

Within the grounds but out of sight of the house are kennels, equipment hangars and other practical outbuildings.

A **14th-century tower**, the last remnant of the original medieval property sits close to the main house, plus there is a ruined area now converted into a charming outdoor BBQ kitchen

The estate is approached across a central courtyard with a turning circle. To the rear, lightly wooded parkland offers shady walks and expansive vistas from the principal rooms and a quite beautiful setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
