Opis:

This charming "Tuffeau stone" chateau built in the early 1800s on the site of an existing older chateau offers an elegance associated with the period as well as combining comfortable "family feel" accommodation. The previous owner extensively renovated the chateau with new electrics, plumbing, heating, decoration etc. Today there is some refreshing needed and connection to the mains drainage facility is available. Offering over 600m2 of living space with an further 300m2 on the upper floor this home could easily be used to welcome paying guests and with it's superb location and direct access to many of the traditional tourist trappings of this area of France is ideally placed for all to enjoy. High ceilings oak floors and ornate carvings galore the ground floor provides: Entrance hall (both north and south entrance doors), double aspect sitting room with fireplace, double aspect south facing drawing room, library with direct access to the south terrace, dining hall with marble fireplace and direct access to the North terrace, central corridor, modern kitchen, former kitchen/breakfast room, boiler room and utility room, wc and internal access to the basement cellar. Leading from the entrance hall a period sweeping staircase leads to the landing with open study room, 2 double aspect bedroom suites (one with a bath and the other a shower), large double with dressing room, another double and single with a family bathroom. At the ned of this floor with separate staircase access is the former servants quarters which need renovating but could easily become additional suites if required. The top floor has an enormous and impressive open attic space ideal for conversion to provide a multitude of options: bedrooms, gymnasium, music room, cinema room, etc. etc. Outside the chateau is surrounded by it's enclosed gated park with park with a wide tree lined drive. The estate extends to 4 hectares in all and including a little island on which the famous French poet, Pierre de Ronsard, used to write many centuries ago as well as a parcel of river frontage. There is currently one small outbuilding and a 'glaciere' and we understand that permission to build a garage/outbuilding may be possible. The Chateau is about 20 minutes drive from the Vendome TGV station (45 minutes to Paris) and equally distant (around 40 mins) from Tours and Le Mans. There is a good choice of local market towns and the nearby village offers all basic amenities as well as a very good restaurant. Keenly priced with scope for increasing the accommodation space this charming period chateau needs some light refreshing and would provide a wonderful family home. (reference: NLEN001652)
