Historical Castle keepers lodge, renovated into an elegant and tasteful country residence in an exceptional setting
A long driveway to the Castle, set the scene for this unusual and charming property, that takes on the look of a Country Manor House, with its exceptional original features inside, beautiful terraced landscaped gardens, arched stone walls, and outbuildings with curved stone arches that have been excellently rendered, and offer huge possibilities. Big enough to afford the title of “French Country Residence”, and yet not too big, without involving costly management and maintenance.
Good taste continues inside the main house, and great care has been made to create and preserve its atmosphere and feel, whilst adding additional comfort such as central heating, and double glazing.
The original and decorative tile floors, ironwork, beautiful wood winding staircase, fireplaces, period bathroom fixtures and fittings, elegant doors, and spacious rooms create a lovely atmosphere throughout. If you appreciate style and elegance, you will definitely fall in love with this property!
Great possibility too for a French Guest House, Cookery school or any creative activity, using the proximity of a Castle to give it a certain prestige (whose owners are seldom there apparently !) the peace and quiet, the location near to St Leger Vauban, Saint Agnan Lake, Quarré les Tombes, and the famous Monastery ‘La Pierre qui Vire’ could create a very successful outlet. There is a separate entrance too that leads into the main downstairs corridor, downstairs bedrooms, and staircase leading to upper bedrooms. Very useful if you are planning to run a B and B, and preserve your own private quarters.
Set out is as follows:
Ground floor: Dining room of 22m² (with an oak beamed ceiling and inlaid stone fireplace) , to the left, a lovely 17 m² beamed ceiling room (currently used as a bedroom) with fireplace and big ensuite bathroom with bath. From the main dining room a door leads into the separate 14m² fully equipped kitchen, with an exit to the garden, and from the corridor, a laundry room with a shower, wc, and two bedrooms (9m², and 17 m²) with sinks. Office with white marble fireplace. A beautiful open Wood spiral staircase leads us upstairs.
Upstairs: a landing with two more bedrooms (12m² each) another large bathroom (with bath), and an opening which has already been made to the attic area which offers a further 58m² of space that could be converted into more bedrooms.
Outbuildings : a boiler room , a 14m² garage, and magnificent barns with a floor area space of 199m², offering enormous potential and with lovely vaulted stone entrances.
