Interior & Grounds

Ground Floor

The château opens into a grand marble entrance hall, with the original terracotta-tiled floor, creating a large space to arrange as a lounge, a second dining area, or even a cocktail room - depending on your party’s requirements.  There is even a discrete and surprisingly useful fridge, for the chilling of drinks to help keep the party flowing.  The beautiful red terracotta flooring runs thorough into the elegant formal dining room, furnished with Irish antique dining tables and chairs, and works of modern art. Adjoining the dining room is the kitchen, which helps make meal service very easy, and also creates interconnecting spaces for parties and socializing.  The strikingly modern kitchen is spacious, airy and light, with cutting-edge detailing – such as the deep red ceramic tiling, sleek white units and black granite worktops. Fully equipped to cater for large parties, with a double oven and hob, dishwasher, and American style fridge, this room becomes a beautiful living space beyond function.

The first salon offers a comfortable room for socializing and relaxing after a satisfying supper.  The room features the original marble fireplace, wooden beams and exposed Gironde stone walls, which sit happily with the elegant antique furnishings, comfortable sofas and modern glass coffee table. There is a television with satellite with both English and French channels, for your viewing pleasure.  Providing a beautiful, sunny room in which to relax is the second salon.  Elegantly furnished with comfortable armchairs and beautiful antiques, a marble fireplace and striking art work.  This room has large windows, which fill the room with sunshine and offer glorious views over the garden.

There is also a utility room, generously sized to provide laundry facilities - complete with sink, washing machine and dryer, indoor clothesline, and an additional, enormous fridge-freezer.  There are, of course, also additional clothes lines in the gardens. There is also a cloakroom with a washbasin and toilet, on this floor.

Grounds

The estate is laid out over nearly two and a half acres of beautiful gardens, with terraced lawns and orchards, a saltwater swimming pool and hard tennis court, and a south-facing barbeque terrace for al fresco dining.

There is a delightful fruit orchard to be enjoyed by guests and a lovely kitchen-garden, which provides seasonal produce for the table – you are welcome to the tomatoes, salads, courgettes, and cabbages, which can provide delicious ingredients for your meals.

The gardens slope down gently to the outdoor saltwater swimming pool, surrounded by sun loungers and large parasols, with tranquil views across the lawns and mature trees. For safety, and in keeping with French regulations, the pool is alarmed when not in use. Also on the grounds is a hard tennis court set amongst the grounds. There is a large, south-facing patio with barbeque facilities for al fresco entertaining, while the hammocks allow for blissful, lounging in the dappled light of a shady chestnut tree.

There is a large area for car parking, automatic gates and security cameras on the entrance to the grounds.
