Nestling in 20 acres of glorious land with beautiful gardens, tennis court and lake, is this charming 7 bedroom Chateau with separate 2 bedroom apartment, ideally located near all amenities in Chamboret.

The entire house has been well maintained and sympathetically redecorated leaving the original features. A new septic tank system, and new electrical wiring and plumbing, have been installed.

For some extra luxury, it would be easy to add a large in-ground pool in the gardens.

On entering the property there is a central wooden staircase in one of the formal foyers. Opposite the large country style kitchen (26m) and utility, is the formal dining room (29m) with a butler's pantry that currently serves as a bar. Light streams in from the floor to ceiling doors which can open up in summer to take in the panoramic views of the valley and lake.

The grand salon (57m) features a fantastic wooden parquet with hardwood inlay and again the large French doors and windows flood the room with light. Downstairs is the original kitchen area where the wide fireplace and flagstone floors can still be found. Part of this area now hosts the modern central heating system which is both wood and oil fired, as well as a garage.

South-West Wing - Each wing of the main house features large sumptuous bedrooms with magnificent views over the countryside. Each room has been given its own individual personality and yet blends harmoniously as a whole. On the first floor this wing houses what is called the Chateau Suite and consists of 2 bedrooms (29m / 18m) and 2 bathrooms with a central landing and foyer. The current owner uses this as a private apartment.

Central demi-floor and first floor - The Mulberry Suite is situated on the demi-floor between ground and first. This suite features a large bedroom (20m) with a wonderful wooden floor, a small living room and bathroom with shower. It has views over the back garden.

The Pink Room (22m) and the Blue Suite (22m) are situated on the first floor, on either side of the staircase and both overlooking the front garden and the lake. The Pink Room has an en-suite bathroom and the Blue Suite has a private living room and bathroom.

At the top of the stairs is a time capsule which is the old servant's quarters. Magazine covers from 1850's and sketch prints which were once someone's treasures now provide a moment of reflection to appreciate the hundreds of years this building has stood.

A few more bedrooms and bathrooms could probably be added at this level. It will need lining and decorating but would provide significant potential.

North-East Guest Wing is a fully self-contained apartment with an open plan ground floor living room and kitchen.

Upstairs there is a bathroom and two large bedrooms with views over the gardens. This apartment has been lovingly decorated to maintain the original features such as the exposed wide floor boards on the upper floor, the kitchen fireplace and exposed beams in the ceilings. This wing also benefits from the central heating system and has private access.

The Chateau works perfectly for a large family or for those who may wish to run a luxury accommodation.

Located centrally 20 minutes from Limoges airport, Michelin Star restaurant "La Chapelle Saint Martin", and the Saint Pardoux lake area.
