About this Property

A beautifully renovated medieval chateau located in West Deux Sevres, close to a village with shops and a bakery, and nestled in a private park of 9.5 hectares (24 acres).

Built in the 15th century and significantly redesigned in the 19th (elegant north facade), this large stone property offers 860 m2 of living space and comprises:

- Ground floor: large dining kitchen, adjacent dining room with wood fired pizza oven, laundry room, 2 bedrooms with bathroom, summer kitchen opening up onto the sun terrace and pool area. Well equipped cellars.

- First floor: 4 large bedrooms with adjacent bathrooms, main salon, music room, WC. Stairs to upper and ground floors.

- Second floor: spectacular room/gallery of 273 m2, with adjacent kitchenette and double bedroom with ensuite shower room.

The property is presented in excellent condition and features an efficient and ecological heating system - Hargassner shredded wood boiler - located in the barn.

In the barn is also a caretaker cottage with living room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, 2 garages and lots of storage.

The park covers 9.5 hectares (around 24 acres) and includes gardens, orchard, terraced vegetable gardens and a beautiful wrought iron greenhouse, meadows and woodland.

Around the castle are planted magnificent trees, some hundreds of years old. A wrought iron bridge which leads across the dry moat supports white and purple flowering wisteria - gorgeous in spring.

The estate is crossed by a small river that feeds the canal and the medieval lavoir (wash house) located below the castle.

This is a beautiful, tranquil and private property, absolutely charming.

Parthenay

Poitou-Charentes

From the beaches of the Charente-Maritime through the Charente and Deux-Sevres to the lush green of the Vienne, Poitou-Charentes has something for everyone.  Coastal towns with some of the highest number of sunshine days per year, Cognac and goat’s cheeses (what a combo!) and fine properties set in pretty and unspoilt countryside.   And the value for money here has to be seen to be believed!

Testimonials

    Testimonial by Andrew Cotton

    Having decided to go ahead with our plan to buy an investment property in France, we initially tracked the market across a number of websites and across a wide area covering the Dordogne and the Lot regions. It quickly became clear that the responses we received from the Beaux Villages team were the most helpful and, based on some discussions about what we were looking for, we were able to put an initial viewing trip together. Based on this viewing trip, we narrowed the geographic area of our search and Beaux Villages became the leading agent we spoke to, including arranging some visits to see properties that were not exclusively listed with them, which made the viewing trips easy to arrange and manage. After a second viewing trip, we found our dream property, albeit at a price which was a little over our budget. At this point, the Beaux Villages team helped us navigate the process of understanding what the different stages of the offer and purchasing process would be, what the fees for each aspect would be and allowed us to put together an offer which was rejected initially, but some months later secured us a property we are really pleased, and sometimes a little amazed, to now own. Without the input of Judith Whitlow [, and her husband Kevin,] we would have not had the confidence to navigate the process successfully. Their input, from the initial offer all the way through to the couple of weeks after our purchase went through (when dealing with some of the issues which arise when buying a property abroad), was clear, pragmatic and incredibly helpful. Based on their experience having lived in France for some time and the clarification they could therefore offer on issues which were sometimes difficult to understand and assess, we felt very comfortable making decisions about what is a very significant investment for us. I warmly recommend Judith to anyone considering purchasing a property in France – without them, we would have had a much more difficult time getting to completion.
