South Charente French Chateau For Sale with 18 bedrooms

Standing in private grounds of 32 acres (13 hectares) including oak woodland and meadows, the chateau was constructed in 1319 and reconstructed during the 18th century.

The present owner has renovated it completely with a new roof, connection of electricity and water, provision of new septic tanks and a full conversion to provide a high standard of accommodation. The property is constructed in a "U" shape with the chateau at its base and two round stairway towers, extending into two wings each finished with square towers and enclosing the inner courtyard screened by an arched wall from the rear courtyard. The wings are further extended by outbuildings on either side of an ornamental rear courtyard and an old bell tower entrance leading to a driveway down to the road.
THE CHATEAU comprises three renovated and furnished apartments each with equipped kitchens, the first having a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, shower, and W.C., the second enjoys five bedrooms, large turret lounge and large fitted kitchen, two shower rooms each with W.C. The third has a kitchen, sitting room, three bedrooms, bathroom & W.C., shower room, utility room, cloakroom and cellar.
In the centre is a large SALON (60m2) with original fireplace and a smaller salon (30m2). Above is a similar but un-renovated space (90m2) which could be accessed from the main salon with the addition of a staircase or from either of the two adjoining apartments. There are extensive lofts and cellars and a former Chapel.

GITES The outbuildings have been converted to create four furnished gites each with equipped kitchen.
Gîte 1 has two bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, shower & W.C.
Gîte 2 enjoys living room / kitchen, one bedroom, shower & W.C...

In the centre of the courtyard is an enclosed swimming pool (12x6m) with patio terracing.
An area rich in scenic beauty, steeped in history and a short distance from the brandy houses of Cognac and the vineyards of Bordeaux.
