6 Bed Castle/Chateau for sale in Bordeaux, Aquitaine, France

This outstanding chateau, built around 1750, has unparalleled elegance. South facing, onto an informal garden, the primary entrance is via twin flights of original stone steps to a raised terrace. The central entrance hall is large, light and spacious, and leads directly through to the rear aspect with steps down to the rear garden. To left and right are the principal reception rooms with tall ceilings and large windows; there are magnificent original features throughout, including marble fireplaces, plaster relief mouldings, and polished hardwood floors. The Master Bedroom is probably amongst the largest and most indulgent you have ever seen. The internal layout is quite flexible and could easily be restructured to accommodate different needs. The chateau has been recently renovated and these works have included a complete new roof. There is great potential for further renovation work on the lower level of the building and additional outbuildings, including a complete separate house, (with roof in excellent condition), wine chai, turret and gatehouse. On the outskirts of a small but lively village, with shops, the property is ideally situated for access to Bordeaux (40 minutes) with international airport and high speed (TGV) rail links to the UK and mainland Europe. This is a 'must see' property!
