Case in vendita a Saint-Jean-d'Angly, Francia

Delightful 8 bedroom chateau, nicely positioned on the edge of a small village near the pretty market town of St Jean d'Angely. This extremely attractive south-facing property sits in over 3 acres and provides very generous living accommodation, gardens, a swimming pool, extensive outbuildings and countryside views. The beaches of the Atlantic are less than an hour's drive. The ground floor of the chateau has an impressive entrance hall, off which are two large reception rooms - a dining room with fireplace and a dual-aspect sitting room, again with fireplace. Beyond the sitting room are a generous kitchen / breakfast room (with fireplace) a pantry (with service staircase to the first floor) and a laundry room (with WC). A "secret" door from the entrance hall gives access to the service entrance, from where a corridor leads to a large room (currently used a a games / boiler room) which could make a large third reception room. Off this is a study. On the first floor there are seven bedrooms and a nursery. Three of the bedrooms have en-suite shower facilities and in addition to this, there are a shower room and a bathroom. Most of the bedrooms have fine views over the gardens and the countryside beyond. The stairs continue to the two large attic rooms - with great potential for conversion to habitable spaces (subject to necessary permissions). To the front of the house is an attractive walled garden, planted with lime trees and with areas of lawn and gravel. To one corner is a barbecue area and two sides are bounded by outbuildings. The walled garden looks into a second walled garden, laid to grass with outbuildings to either side. Beyond this there is more land. A gate in the first courtyard opens to another garden, prettily planted with trees, and shrubs with lawn and a children's play area. To one side is the swimming pool. To the back of the chateau is another area of garden, laid to lawn with shrubs - from here there is access to the service entrance. This large property benefits from double-glazing and central heating. It would make a beautiful family home and also offers enormous potential for income generation (subject to necessary permissions).
