The central wooden staircase greets you as you set foot into one of the formal entrance foyers. Opposite the large country style kitchen (26m) and utility is the formal dining room (29m) with a butler's pantry that currently serves as a bar. Light streams in from the floor to ceiling doors which can open up in summer to take in the panoramic views of the valley.
The grand salon (57m) features a fantastic wooden parquet with hardwood inlay and again the large French doors and windows flood the room with light. Downstairs takes you to the original kitchen area where the wide fireplace and flagstone floors can still be found. Part of this area now hosts the central heating system which is both wood fired, as well as a garage.
South-West Wing ; Each wing of the main house features large sumptuous bedrooms with magnificent views over the country side. Each room has been given its own individual creative attention which creates a distinct personality for the bedrooms and yet blends harmoniously as a whole.
On the first floor this wing houses what is called the Chateau Suite and consist of 2 bedrooms (29m / 18m) and 2 bathrooms with a central landing and foyer. The current owner uses this as her private apartment. Central demi-floor and first floor : The Mulberry Suite is situated on the demi-floor between ground and first. This suite features a large bedroom (20m) with a wonderful wooden floor, a small salon and bathroom with shower. It has views over the back garden.
The Pink Room (22m) and the Blue Suite (22m) are situated on the first floor, on either side of the staircase and both overlooking the front garden and the pastures beyond. The Pink Room has an en-suite bathroom and the Blue Suite has a private living room and bathroom.
Top Floor : At the top of the stairs are the old servant's quarters. Magazine covers from 1850's and sketch prints which were once someone's treasures, now provide a moment of reflection to appreciate the hundreds of years this building has stood. You could probably add a few more bedrooms and bathrooms at this level. It will need lining and decorating but would provide significant potential.
North-East Guest Wing : This is a fully self-contained apartment with an open plan ground floor living and kitchen.
Upstairs there is a bathroom and two large bedrooms with views over the gardens. This apartment has been lovingly decorated to maintain the original features such as the exposed wide floor boards on the upper floor, the kitchen fireplace and exposed beams in the ceilings. This wing also benefits from the central heating system and has private access.
The Chateau works perfectly for a large family or for those who may wish to run a luxury accommodation.
Located 20 minutes from Limoges international airport, Michelin Star restaurant "La Chapelle Saint Martin", and the Saint Pardoux lake area - you are in the midst of one of the best parts of the Limousin and within striking distance of everything you need.
The property is on an individual sewage system. There are no outbuildings included with this property, but additional buildings for agricultural use could be built with the correct planning permissions.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
