Interior & Grounds

Within, the furnishings are antiques appropriate to their setting, and the interior has been skilfully decorated and cared for.

Ground floor

The Salon: With dual aspect French windows leading out to the terrace. This is the perfect roost for reading, playing card games or listening to music.

The Grand Salon: This huge room is the piece de resistance of the chateau, built to accommodate an enormous carpet from Spain that adorns the parquet floor.  A crystal chandelier sheds a benign glow on the old panelled wood walls embellished with ancient tapestries and family portraits.  Wood is provided for the marble fireplace.

The Dining Room: This large room, lined in gold silk damask and tapestries, can seat up to 22.  It provides a resplendent setting for a collection of Chinese porcelain.

The Kitchens: There are two kitchens – one, small but functional is next door to the dining room. The second is larger, newly created, with a huge slab of granite as worktop, six burner gas hob, and a multiplicity of stainless steel appliances.

The Living/Dining Room: This is ideal for informal family meals, being next to the new kitchen, and doubling as a library.

The Children’s Corner: Children are well-catered for in this very friendly chateau, and they have a corner of their own, full of pastimes - books, games and puzzles. They can also go down to the basement to play table tennis.

Second Floor

All the bedrooms on this floor are beautifully furnished with antiques.

Bedroom 1: This large room with a queen size bed has been recently redecorated with dramatic blue and yellow wallpaper and matching curtains. It has an inviting and spacious en suite bathroom, with thick pile carpet on the floor and pink floral wallpaper.

Bedroom 2: A large double room with a queen size bed has a view of the park, and an en suite shower room.

Bedroom 3: The reader’s bedroom, flooded with morning sunlight and well stocked with a library of French and English books. It has a queen size bed, and the walls are decorated with old engravings.

Bedroom 4: This has pretty blue wallpaper, a queen size bed and an en suite bathroom.

Bedroom 5: This room has twin beds, a stupendous view and cheering green and yellow décor.

Bedroom 6: A large room with three single beds, fabulous antique wallpaper and a roomy en suite carpeted bathroom.

Third Floor

The Chapel: A little gem of perfectionist detail, with a cool grey vaulted ceiling, and trompe l’oeil paint effect on the walls.

There is plenty to do on the estate – you can ride, fish in the pond, play tennis, badminton, boules or swim, as well as walk the expansive and peaceful grounds.
