10 rooms, 324m²,  Castle for sale in Sanxay - 799 000 € *

UNDER OFFER: Set in 13 hectares of pasture and woodland, this chateau from 1853 retains its true character: from the stunning entrance hall with elegant winding staircase and original tiled floor, to the beautifully ornate dining room and the living room with an outstanding marble fireplace. Wonderful details remain in place: the servants’ room next to the kitchen with the bell system still on the wall, and the butler’s pantry (with WC). There is a second lounge too - all three doors are ‘hidden’ from the inside, in the walls. There is also a downstairs bedroom (previously the library), shower room and WC - and a separate entrance here, leading to the second (former servants’) staircase - so there is great potntial to make this work as a fantastic B&B or boutique hotel.
Upstairs, six more bedrooms (one ensuite), plus another bathroom. Beautiful quality wallpaper throughout, selected to respect the era and style of the building, makes the most of the fabulous features and style of the rooms. Up another floor, the huge attic is divided into the old servants’ rooms. Below the château, a vaulted cellar. The chateau is all double-glazed with concealed roller-shutters, and the oil and wood central heating boilers are only two years old.
Outside, you approach the château along a long driveway lined by mature trees, as the gardens with trimmed hedges give way to rolling pasture: these are the splendid views from the château.
In the grounds, a 300m2 barn in good condition - along the side of which is a long covered terrace able to seat 150 people. Then four working gîtes (with a capacity of around 32 people), plus a house to renovate. There is huge potential here for holidays, group events, or a romantic hotel.
The first gîte has a ground floor bedroom, shower room and a large kitchen/dining room; then stairs lead up to two more bedrooms and a shower room/WC, and then on to a second large kitchen/diner and shower room/WC - this layout gives flexibility, to which gîte you allocate the bedrooms. Then up another floor, to a third large kitchen/diner, bedroom and bathroom/WC. Separate from this, there is another 1-bedroom gite, and two large rooms suitable for events (one can be connected with the previous gîte), and then the ‘pavillion’ - a habitable 1-bedroom house (easily made into a 2-bedroom, converting a large attic space on the same level), to update.
This is a stunning and lovable property, 30km (30 minutes) from the city of Poitiers, 35 minutes from the city of Niort, 20 minutes from a town and 5km from three villages (3 café-bar-restaurants, grocery shop).
