The main entrance to the chateau features a grand and impressive hallway, leading into a comfortable sitting room with a traditional fireplace and a wood-burning stove. There is also a second sitting room, or "piece de vie," offering additional space for relaxation.
Off the grand hallway is the kitchen, and a WC. The wide, original oak staircase is a striking feature, leading up to the first floor where two large, elegant bedrooms await. An adjoining walk in wardrobe adds to the functionality and charm of this level, and the tastefully decorated bathroom completes the space.
The staircase continues to the second floor, where a similar layout is found, with two more spacious bedrooms and another well-appointed bathroom. This level mirrors the elegance and functionality of the floors below, offering additional living space that maintains the chateau's harmonious design.
The west wing of the chateau, adjoining the kitchen, features another entrance hallway that leads into a sitting room with a charming fireplace. Also on this level is a utility room and a downstairs WC for added convenience. This wing can be accessed directly through the chateau kitchen or can be closed off for more privacy.
Stairs lead up to the first floor, where there are three well-sized bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom.
The second floor offers three smaller rooms under the eaves, ideal for storage or other uses, along with an additional bathroom.
The property has recently been fitted with a new wood-fuelled central heating boiler, which is housed in the spacious cellar located underneath part of the chateau. The cellar is accessed via an external doorway and offers ample space, making it perfect for use as a wine cellar or additional storage.
Throughout the property, the sympathetic renovation has been carried out with careful attention to detail, maintaining the chateau's original character while introducing modern comforts. The period features, such as the oak staircase and elegant mouldings, have been preserved, seamlessly blending the historic charm with contemporary living standards.
There is an independent studio or gite, which is open-plan with a large living area and kitchen, a bedroom, and a wet room, all located on the ground floor. The space is very light, with doors leading out onto a south-facing terrace. From here, you can enjoy views of the chateau and gardens as well as the above-ground swimming pool, making it the perfect retreat for guests or as a rental opportunity. The studio is sustainably run by solar panels, providing an eco-friendly energy source.
On the estate, there is a large outbuilding, ideal for storing wood, tractors, and other workshop equipment.
Additionally, there is a coach house with a spacious upper floor, offering a fantastic venue for hosting events within the chateau grounds. This versatile space could be used for a variety of occasions, adding even more charm and potential to the property.
A truly stunning and exceptionally well-presented property with huge potential, this chateau has been sympathetically renovated to a high standard of elegance and comfort. With your own forest to fuel the heating system, this is a rare opportunity to own a chateau set in the breathtaking landscape of the Normandy countryside.

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.
