Situated midway between Bergerac and the historic town of Issigeac this graceful 7 bedroom chateau manages to combine an imposing appearance with a sense of comfort and space. The rooms are generous and light filled and retain much of the original architectural detail. There are 5 reception rooms plus the kitchen, a charming staircase, two long galleries and 5 bathrooms.
The property is approached via an impressive tree lined drive which leads to an ornate gateway opening into a gravel courtyard. From the courtyard you also access the four bedroom pigeonnier and one bedroom caretaker’s cottage. Beyond this is the secluded swimming pool, all weather tennis court, croquet lawn and particularly lovely summer kitchen with its own courtyard garden.
Outbuildings include a three vehicle garage block with attached workshop and storage area, fenced dog pens and a hanger for garden machinery.
The chateau has just under five hectares of mature grounds which is mostly laid to low maintenance parkland comprising mature trees and sweeping lawns. It is set back from the main road and, although within easy distance of Bergerac airport , is not inconvenienced by aircraft noise.
