Summary
You may have seen some of the marketing material out there already about this property – ignore any preconceptions you may have! Set at the heart of this magnificent 52 hectare (130 acre) esate stands a truly regal chateau with a tremendous depth of character. Boasting 10 luxurious bedrooms, all ensuite, and a wealth of magnificent reception rooms, this property would equally suit a private residence as four-star hotel. But it is the extensive range of buildings and the setting that really lend itself to numerous possibilities. Additional habitable dwellings that are fully renovated include an owner’s cottage with three bedrooms that would easily split to two independent units; and two one-bedroomed cottages for staff. The original coach house and stable block has been part-renovated, with full architect’s drawings and planning permission for an Annex of 13 bedrooms, all ensuite, with business conference facilities and a number of large storage rooms (a ‘blank canvass’), and an enormous barn that would convert to a stunning indoor pool and gym / fitness suite. Additional buildings include a Victorian conservatory, an orangery and potting shed – all providing potential for charming renovation.
Running close to the buildings and through the property is a leat and derelict fish-trap – providing scope for water features and potentially hydro-electric power. Although no permission has been sought, plans also exist for a wonderful 18-hole golf course surrounding the chateau. A rare find – with an exciting range of possibilities.
