A beautiful 18th Century Château set in approximately 50 acres of private park and woodland, yet within a 5 minute drive of a delightful village for all amenities and only 15 minutes drive from the larger town of Cazeres.
This unique 10 bedroom Château is generously proportioned with 20 rooms spread over 2 floors. Despite its immense size it nonetheless offers comfort and intimacy with many original features being retained in the majority of rooms.
The property has been finished to a very high standard and combines successfully a collection of beautiful antiques with modern day amenities.
At the front of the Château the driveway leads into the circular courtyard. The entrance door opens into the grand hallway, giving access from both sides to the ground floor accommodation and also through to the garden and park at the rear of the property. On the left of the hallway is the main drawing room, the music room (restored to its original 1840’s décor) complete with grand piano, and two bedrooms. To the right of the hallway is the dining room with 18C table and views over the grounds, the TV room and the large well equipped breakfast kitchen with exposed beams and its own outdoor terrace with table and chairs.
Leading off from the main entrance is the original grand staircase which sweeps upwards to the first floor adjacent to the library. This is at the centre of the Château, where the bedrooms are divided to the east and west. On the west wing there is a large suite complete with dressing room and bathroom, and two smaller bedrooms (one small double and one with original built-in twin beds) which share a shower room. On the east wing is an additional large suite complete with dressing room and bathroom, a small single bedroom (ideal for a small child as it is accessible from the master suite bathroom), two large double rooms each with en-suite and a single bedroom.
In the grounds of the Château is the guardians cottage.
Outside, approximately 25 acres of the park are beautiful unspoilt woodland, making a pleasurable afternoon or early evening walk. The large newly installed pool is ideal for keen swimmers and has a spacious terrace, partly covered, with lovely views.
Overall a very special holiday retreat, steeped in history and offering the best of everything. Chateau Castelnau.
