The chateau with its medieval tower comprises seven bedrooms, all of which are ensuite (together with an enormous attic which could accommodate more), complemented by two large reception rooms and a large kitchen / breakfast room. These open onto a lawn, and, behind a low wall, one of the swimming pools. To the flank are additional dwellings - a three-bedroomed guest cottage, four bedrooms suites, and a two-bedroomed guardian’s cottage. A second swimming pool and kids’ play area can be found beyond the enclosed garden of the Guardian’s Cottage.

The chateau is surrounded on three sides by its park, totaling over 7 hectares comprising formal garden, prairie and orchards – with some boar and deer. An easily-run, established rental and wedding business has enormous growth potential and the property is ideally suited to boutique hotel / wedding venue / chateau rental, but it would also suit extended families or groups of co-purchasing friends as a residential home.
