ENTRANCE AND GARDEN
Entry is via a private road, set back about a kilometre from the main road, that enters the enclosed courtyard with plenty of parking for a number of vehicles at the back of the chateau.
THE HOUSE AND ACCOMMODATION
The main door enters into a hall, that runs from back to the front of the house. Immediately to the right a door enters into the kitchen with a 4 ring stove with oven, kitchen table for 8 persons, dishwasher, refrigerator, and open wood burning fireplace. There is a traditional tommette floor and wood beamed ceiling. Beyond the kitchen there is a utility room with washing machine, a separate WC with washbasin, and service stairs. Another door leads from the kitchen into the living room at the front of the house, This is comfortable with armchairs, couches, TV, and stereo CD player. Next to the sitting room is the large dining room with large dining room table to seat 12.
Another door leads from the living room into the central hall. On the other side of the hall are a couple of rooms of equal size that are closed off and have at times been used as an art gallery. There is a glass wooden door from the hallway that leads onto the gardens at the front of the chateau. There is also a separate WC off from the hall.
A stairway climbs to the first floor with central landing.
To one side, in the East Wing, another hallway leads to a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom, with bath, shower, WC and washbasin; as well as a child's bed in the main bedroom. Further along the hallway is another large double bedroom, with a twin bedroom on the other side of the hallway. There is a separate bathroom with WC, bath, shower, and washbasin.
On the other side of the central landing is the West Wing, with another hallway off which leads to a children's bedroom with a single bed suitable for 2 children, or one adult, and on the other side of the hallway - there is the master double bedroom. There is a bathroom opposite the master bedroom with double washbasin, bathtub with shower attachment. There is a separate WC.
A door leads to a service staircase that leads down to the kitchen and up to the second floor to what could be ostensibly a separate apartment - as it has a double bedroom, with a single bed in an attached room, with its own bathroom with bath, washbasin and separate WC. All the main four bedrooms (except the children's room) have views to the front of the house with its stunning views across the wide river valley towards the Montagne Noire.
Garden, with extensive lawns surround the chateau, with a large swimming pool (5m x 12m) a short distance from the house with plenty of places to sunbathe, or laze under the magnificent trees that surround the house. There are walks aplenty in the park with its lovely pigeonnier, and beyond in the surrounding countryside.
