Set in its own private park, you reach the château along a private drive, the château’s two elevations are identical and characteristic of the neo gothic style, are ornate with coats of arms, and imagery. The current owners have been renovating the château for the past 7 years and have completed some of the major restoration work, including the facades and some of the outbuildings. There is clear potential for an exceptional family home or for more commercial projects including a boutique hotel, event space, location for marriages with accommodation or other similar projects. The property is not listed.
In addition to the current spaces, there is a wide array of outbuildings still to be purposed.
You enter the château through double doors on the ground floor into a generous double aspect hallway tiled in black and white tiles. This leads to a variety of large reception rooms including the double aspect kitchen, which is a large airy room with high ceilings and a wood burner (would make a good professional kitchen) it has an array of utility kitchens. The dining room is a large space with a magnificent wooden floor, beams, original windows with interior shutters and doors and wood panelling. It also has an impressive fireplace. There is a large living room, again with a fireplace, from the next hallway a sweeping wooden staircase gives access to the first floor There is also a bathroom with WC on this level requiring refurbishment.
On the first floor you find four bedrooms with original wallpapers, high ceilings and ornate wood burners. There is also a large billiard room and a further large salon with panoramic windows and another large fireplace.
A further staircase leads to the 2nd floor, where you will find a further five bedrooms.
On the third floor there are a further three large rooms with potential for renovation and the creation of further accommodation.
The château also has a detached 4 bed roomed house with an open hangar and gardens.
Finally, a Gîte of 70m2 has been recently renovated to a high standard. The gîte consists of a kitchen, living room, shower room with underfloor heating and a large bedroom. The gîte is currently being marketed and is a good source of income. It has its own private garden and sitting area.
Numerous outbuildings which previously were stables, used for wine and cognac production and storage barns are still present. There is huge potential to convert stables if an equestrian project is required or further accommodation, wedding venue, workshops, car collection store, studios, or gallery space.
There are extensive grounds of 2.9 hectares, mostly set to parkland with a range of mature shrubs and trees .
There is a garage suitable for 2 cars.
There is a selection of outbuildings consisting of old stables and coach houses which could be renovated to create a full equestrian experience or converted into living accommodation. There is a further barn of 162m2 which previously housed the cognac and wine production for the château (some barrels and the wine press remain). There are further outbuildings to convert.
A 4-bed house, and a further one-bedroom cottage which is currently successfully rented for the tourist market.
The château is situated within a 10-minute drive of the Roman town of Saintes and with access to the A10 motorway, it is well-placed for all amenities and commerce, and it is possible to access the tgv train and be within a 2/3 hours journey to/ from Paris
