The second floor provides further accommodation together with one of the property's most remarkable spaces.

A spectacular 150m2 room, currently ready for conversion, features beautiful exposed roof timbers and an extraordinary 14-metre ceiling height. This vast volume offers considerable scope for creating an exceptional additional reception space, bedroom suite, studio, games room or other accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.

The floor also includes:

Gîte
The estate includes a substantial independent 200m2 gîte, providing:

The gîte offers excellent accommodation for family and friends and, given the property's established event activity, provides considerable flexibility for guests or potential ancillary use.

Reception and Event Facilities
The château is currently recognised as one of the region's best-known and most highly regarded wedding venues, with an impressive range of purpose-designed facilities.

The principal reception building provides approximately 230m2, with capacity for up to 200 guests, making it suitable for weddings, private celebrations and larger events.

Additional facilities include:
- Approximately 80m2 catering area
- Former stable area of approximately 80m2, currently used as a lounge bar or cloakroom
- Storage area for maintenance equipment
- Further barn of approximately 150m2

These substantial buildings provide an exceptional infrastructure for an established events business while also offering considerable flexibility for alternative uses.

Grounds and Leisure
The estate extends to approximately 1.23 hectares of beautifully landscaped gardens, creating a peaceful and private setting around the château and its outbuildings.

A swimming pool provides an attractive leisure facility, while the available land offers the possibility of creating a tennis court, subject to the necessary permissions.

The absence of immediate neighbours further enhances the property's privacy and makes the estate particularly well suited to both private enjoyment and entertaining.

A Versatile Estate
Although currently operated as a highly regarded wedding venue, the property has enormous potential beyond its existing use.

The combination of a historic château, substantial gîte, extensive reception facilities, additional barns and landscaped grounds could support a variety of projects, subject to the necessary permissions. Equally, the estate could be transformed into an exceptional private family residence, with extensive accommodation for family and guests.

The property is sold fully furnished and equipped, providing a particularly attractive turnkey opportunity for a purchaser wishing to continue the existing activity.
