8 bedroom chateau in Indre-et-Loire  

REF: ARC 0740

OVERVIEW

This chateau is a like a little gem sitting in an elevated position with fabulous views over some vineyards over to the Medieval town of Chinon in the distance. Chinon is the town where Joan of Arc met the then dauphin of France asking his permission to go into battle against the English.

It has been the subject of major structural work over the past few years including new roofs. There are period features throughout including some moulded cornicing in the reception rooms, a super staircase and marble fireplaces.

The accommodation is generous and well proportioned. The outbuildings are numerous and include stables and coach house, former chapel and store rooms. These could be converted into further accommodation subject to planning permission if required. There is already a separate guardianÂ’s accommodation in the gate house.

The grounds extend to 10 acres and are part woodland and part lawned. Swimming pool.
