Immaculately presented and full of authentic character and charm, this fairy-tail 14 bedroom chateau is accessed via private gates, which lead through a quaint coachman's entrance and into the charming central courtyard, which is beautifully enclosed on 3 sides by the wings of the chateau.

With a vast total living area of 1,675m2, features include unusually light and airy rooms with huge window areas and elegant high ceilings, all of which help to demonstrate the chic, urban fusion of new and old to perfection.

There are exposed stone walls, ancient wooden beams and original oak floors, all of which blend seamlessly with a curated collection of ornate antique and trendy vintage furniture, objects and artwork, creating an effect that is at once artistic, yet warm and welcoming.

The sunlit grand entrance hall, with its art deco lighting, is accessed by a wrought iron detailed door from the central courtyard. The striking combination of original black and white flagstone floor and creamy stucco walls is overlooked by a galleried landing, setting off the ornately detailed oak staircase which provides access to the upper floors. 1 of the 6 salons, the stone salon (56.5m2), occupies the ground floor of the 4-storey crenelated tower. A triple aspect room, flooded with light and with French doors to the terrace and the formal gardens, the room has exposed stone walls and ornate ceiling mouldings, a vintage Italian style bar, polished solid wood floor and a stone fireplace with wood burner. 2 sets of high double doors lead into the white salon. The white salon (44m2), with its polished herringbone oak floor, is another bright airy room. Dual aspect, with a large stone open fireplace and exposed beams, it is illuminated by windows to the courtyard and French doors to the formal gardens. 2 sets of elegant double doors lead to the entrance hall. A refined dual aspect room, the piano salon (48m2) has a waxed herringbone oak floor, exposed beams and a magnificent stone and carved oak fireplace housing a wood burning stove. An original flagstone floored bay, with its baby grand piano, has French doors to the terrace and formal gardens. Grand double doors lead to the chateau office/library (15m2). A further set of panelled doors lead to the dual aspect secret salon, (30m2), with open fireplace and large windows looking out to the formal gardens.

The home cinema room (26.5m2) has large south-facing windows looking out on the main courtyard. The 2.5m screen, surround sound system, Daniel Landini "Frog" furnishings and waxed parquet floor add a modern twist to the ancient exposed stone walls, while a double door leads to the billiard room (30.5m2) with a full-size US slate bed pool table and glazed door to the central courtyard. 2 bright lobbies (totalling 47m2) overlooking the orchard, with decorative fireplace and French doors, lead through glazed double doors to the breathtaking dining hall (118m2). With windows and French doors to the central courtyard, double-height ceiling, exposed beams, acoustic tiles and a separate WC complex, it is a huge space, yet warm and convivial due to the honey-coloured exposed stone walls, gentle lighting and vintage furnishings.

The kitchen (90m2) sits next to the dining hall and is an inspired combination of functionality and aesthetics. Equipped and appointed to professional standards, it offers space, light and convenience with 3 workstations, a "piano" incorporating cooking range, 2 ovens, bain-marie and deep fryer, 2 walk-in pantries (12 and 6m2), and a washroom independent of the WC complex. 2 further storerooms also give access to the orchard. Specified with wooden work surfaces, enhanced with creative and dramatic lighting and ancient doors used as wall decorations, the room also benefits from a large breakfast area and a cosy wood burner to create a wonderfully warm environment for entertaining.

First floor: sun-drenched open landing above the main entrance hall overlooks the gardens to the east where the sun rises precisely between the alley of mature yews, and to the west, where a French door gives access to a balcony over the main courtyard. Leading from the galleried area is a long unbroken landing with polished wooden floor and views from the chateau turrets over the central courtyard. The 9 bedrooms are all wonderfully chic and completely individual, blending comfort with original features, space, warmth and light to make the very most of each room. Custom-made mirrors, uniquely creative tiling, twin baths, exposed stone and turreted bathrooms are some of the regal features in the remarkable bathrooms.

A grand triple-aspect suite (45.5m2) occupies the tower's first floor. Its exposed stone walls provide access to 2 stunning south-facing Juliet balconies, while an original oak staircase leads to a spectacular dual aspect en-suite bathroom (20m2), complete with decorative fireplace, 2 baths, art deco basin and WC. A second suite (22.5m2) overlooks the formal gardens. With an original stone and marble fireplace and polished oak floor it also boasts another obsessively detailed bathroom, with 2 baths, exposed stone walls, and original reclaimed double sink. The 3rd suite (28m2), large, bright and airy, has double French doors to a spacious balcony overlooking the formal gardens. The en-suite is a little jewel, incorporating bath, basin and WC, set off by the original tiled floor and one of the chateau turrets with its exposed white stone. The 4th suite (22m2) is dual aspect, with exposed stone wall and polished wood floor and views of the formal gardens. The enormous en-suite bathroom (19.5m2) has two 2 corner baths, feature lighting, basin, WC, and incorporates another chateau turret with views over the gardens. A (29m2) bedroom provides scenic views of the chateau grounds and features a solid wood floor, an office area with exposed stone wall, dressing area and double doors leading to a stunning bathroom with a mirror mosaic bath, custom made, mosaic framed mirror, 2 washbasins and WC. A second (13.5m2) bedroom with views of the courtyard and the main chateau facade features polished wood floor, walk in wardrobe, and an en-suite bathroom (6.5m2) with travertine marble tiled floor, black mosaic tiled bath, piano black washbasin and a custom-built mirror tiled into the wall.

There are 2 further bedrooms (30.5 & 15m2) and a breathtaking family bathroom (9m2) featuring a travertine marble tiled floor, a magnificent custom-built glass mosaic double washbasin and a spacious walk-in shower (2m2).

Stairs from the galleried landing provide access to the 9th, and the largest, master suite (62m2) located on the third floor. This exquisite, air conditioned, spilt-level suite provides character and style in abundance, with exposed oak beams, dual aspect windows and a show-stopping chimney breast separating the living room and sleeping areas. The white mosaic tiled and sumptuous en-suite bathroom (11m2), complete with a luxurious corner bath and generous walk-in shower, is designed to incorporate one of the chateau turrets.

The private accommodation occupies one of the 3 wings of the chateau. On the ground floor, an independent entrance opens to a bright hall, with access to a suite (52m2) of tastefully renovated offices. The ornately tiled office reception area, with feature wood burner and double doors to the garden, provides access to each of the three separate offices via glazed double doors. Off the entrance hall is a laundry room, and stairs to the owner's apartment.

Private apartment: a wonderfully chic apartment (168m2) offers an entirely independent, light and luxurious living space. The thoughtfully designed configuration provides a seamless flow to the rooms. The elegant and spacious salon (50m2) features a vaulted ceiling with exposed oak beams, a polished oak floor, a wood-burning stove and dual aspect windows offering views to the east and west of the chateau. The fashionable, well-equipped kitchen (29m2) features gloss black fitted units, black work surfaces, creatively tiled floor, hidden task lighting and windows offering views of the central courtyard. A door leads to a separate set of stairs giving a second external access to the apartment. The dining room (17m2) has a vaulted ceiling, exposed oak beams, polished oak floor and dual aspect windows presenting lovely views of the main chateau frontage and courtyard, and the main entrance. There are 5 comfortable bedrooms. The fabulous master room (21m2) with views of the central chateau courtyard has a stunning (9.5m2), artistically tiled en-suite bathroom with a pretty, free standing bath. The apartment also benefits from a luxuriously appointed and fastidiously detailed family bathroom (7.5m2) complete with large walk-in shower, free standing bath, basin and a separate WC.

Cellar: a dry cellar network (91.4m2) of 7 rooms accessed by a staircase from the main chateau, the largest is 21.7m2. 2 rooms house hot water storage tanks and a Weissman oil boiler. Other rooms are currently used for storage. All rooms have a ceiling height of 2.1m2, dry concrete floors and most walls are concrete lined.

The high-quality renovation and move-in condition of the chateau are augmented with plenty of scope for further development, offering numerous good-condition, but not renovated rooms, including an impressive 2 storey tower room with a roof terrace, and a detached cottage within the grounds.

Fantastic location, just a short walk to the village with its local amenities, and a 10 minute drive to the closest town with banks and major supermarkets. Around 20 minutes to the trendy city of Angouleme, with its high-speed rail links to Paris in less than 2 hours and Bordeaux in just 35 minutes.
