Details :- Reference: DKIT-T4060. A rare opportunity to buy a classic Napoleon III chateau, built in 1870 located in the Normandy countryside. The chateau faces south so the sunlight streams in through the huge windows.<br /><br />This elegant chateau is set in rolling countryside but is just a mile from a pretty village and ten miles from the sea.<br /><br />The impressive property has a huge open plan entertaining space plus a newly fitted kitchen, study and shower room on the ground floor, which all open out onto a 80 foot long terrace and a huge lawn.<br /><br />Upstairs there are six bedrooms. Four are ensuite and two rooms share a shower room.The two turrets could be converted but are currently used as storage.There is also a three metre high cellar, which could make a great cinema room.<br /><br />All the rooms are three metres high with full height windows. Despite its large, airy feel, the chateau is cosy in winter. There is oil fired central heating plus a log burner. Many of the rooms also have working fireplaces including the kitchen with a bbq fireplace.<br /><br />The gardens are mainly set out as lawn with an incredible number of beautiful mature trees in a stunning array of colours.<br /><br />Should you need more space there are a row of three cottages are available by separate negotiation. There are two cottages with two bedrooms and a one bedroomed cottage. They have their own entrance and are completely separated from the main chateau. They would also make a great games room, garden and accommodation for a gardener.
