Richelieu, Centre-Val de Loire 37120

A 19th-century manor house with outbuildings and 2 9-hectare grounds between the Touraine et Poitou regions, near to Richelieu. Nearby, a road running through the surrounding farmland leads to public lane which in turn leads to the property. A drive lined by lime trees leads up to a wrought-iron gate, framed by two pilasters, from which railings extend to the outbuildings. Opposite the gate stands the three-storey, partially rendered, tuffeau stone manor house. The east faade overlooking the courtyard and the west faade overlooking the garden each have six openings allowing the dual aspect rooms to view both the dawn and sunset. The tiled, hipped roof is punctuated with three dormer windows. On either side of the house, there are two two-storey pavilions with half-hipped roofs. A large, vaulted, tuffeau stone cellar, used for storing wine, is located beneath one of them. The outbuildings, which form the other sides of the courtyard, are made up of a guests' house, several barns, former stables, an old press room, a bread oven and several cellars. The grassy grounds are fenced in places with paddocks for horses. The property stretches over a surface of approximately 2.94 hectares.
