Perfectly proportioned 19th century chateau with additional older buildings, all totally renovated to a very high standard, no expense spared.....which one would hope for, in such a beautiful example of 19th century French architecture.
The other older house has been transformed into another unique residence, in keeping with its past: this is on the level below the chateau leading onto the parterre with the ornamental pool and fountain. | |  | As you would expect the rooms are perfectly proportioned with the staircase central to the whole building; there are basically four large rooms on the first two levels, then on the third level there are two other bedrooms and a massive attic room with windows, bigger than the set of La Boheme.
The basement covers the whole building surface and is divided into a cave for wine, as well as central heating and storage sections.
The parkland gardens are on a gentle slope and are very mangeable, so lessen the need to hire a gardener, just to sit on your mower!!
The chateau is close to Angouleme, which has the TGV station-connection for Paris, Lille and London. Angouleme as well as Cognac (20 minutes further away) are very under-rated towns in the France wide context and good places to be near. Not forgetting the coast, which is about 90 minutes away; Bordeaux is a similar distance. |  | | |
