Poitou-Charentes, Deux-Sèvres

821.500 € ID: 156505

Recently restored, this beautiful residence is a magnificent family home and offers a wealth of options for those looking for a special events/accommodation activity.

The Château is already well-known locally and further afield due to its starring role on Ch4’s Escape to the Chateau DIY.
It has been renovated to a very high standard by the current owners, who have also worked hard to restore it to its rightful place in the hearts and life of the local community.
Whilst preserving the original features, renovation work has included insulation, roof repairs, the creation of a self-contained Apartment and studio/gîte, together with its much-loved stylish Vintage Tea Room (fully licensed), Bed and Breakfast Suites and Artist's Barn.

Architectural plans and permissions to create a further 6 gîtes, a restaurant and a large reception room have already been obtained.
