An absolutely exceptional property in terms of the quality of the preservation of its historic features: the interiors and outbuildings have been kept exactly as they were originally defined and organised in the 19th century, and will enable a passionate owner to restore them to their former elegance.
In the château, with its 440m² of living space and architecture typical of the fine residences in the Valençay region, you will find all the typical features of a large family home, in a layout of exemplary classicism: reception rooms and bedrooms with marble fireplaces, utility rooms with all the tricks that enabled the housekeepers to discreetly provide the services of the masters of the house.
Upstairs, the wide corridors also lead to bedrooms with original parquet floors and marble fireplaces.
Finally, the grand staircase provides access to the ‘maids’ rooms’ on the 2nd floor, as well as to a vast attic that could be converted.
The outbuildings surrounding the château are also built in the same classicist style: at the end of the wide entrance avenue, a gate flanked by stone pilasters leads to the large inner courtyard, surrounded by several barns, stables and workshops. Even the old hunting kennels, with their exercise yard enclosed by a low stone wall and wrought-iron gate, have been preserved exactly as they were.
This large inner courtyard also provides access to the meadows, through a gate that is symmetrical to the main gate, as well as to a former agricultural barn with bays arranged around white ashlar columns that are typical of the region.
On the opposite facade, the 2 wings of the castle overlook the former vegetable garden, also enclosed by stone walls and small gates.
The property is surrounded by more than 3 hectares of grounds bordered by a river, with a stone fountain and old drinking trough.
An extremely peaceful, natural setting with discreet neighbours.
