Poitou-Charentes, Charente-Maritime, Jonzac, France

Set within mature landscaped gardens of 7,542m2 with a swimming pool and with a vast total living area of 1,299m2, this impressive 15th Century chateau is steeped in history and is officially a "monument historique".

Set in a quiet area within its own walled parkland, yet just a few metres from the centre of a village, this superb Chateau has been beautifully refurbished by its current owners, who have also added a heated 14 x 5m swimming pool.

The Chateau itself boasts 6 bedrooms, 2 large salons, fabulous kitchen/diner and a huge games room on the top floor. It has a stunning stone staircase and 2 extraordinary stone fireplaces, which are listed.

The interior accommodation is comfortable both summer and winter, thanks to the oil fired central heating and the owners' superb decorations have made it into a warm and welcoming home.

Additional independent accommodation includes a 3 bedroom cottage with its own charming private garden, a 5 bedroo "logis" recently converted to living space for an elderly resident, a 3 bedroom apartment and 2 x 1 bedroom studios, 1 of which is used as accommodation for the resident carer.

There is also a very large reception room with its own kitchen, WCs and large outside covered dining space which could potentially be used to host weddings or events, subject to the usual permissions.

Outside, the topiary and rose gardens are to the rear of the property, together with the impressive pool and to the front is a formal courtyard. There is also a large garage.

Located close to the spa town of Jonzac and not far from the lovely local beaches and the cosmopolitan city of Bordeaux, this stunning property is an ideal permanent residence or a holiday home with income potential.

The property is sold in "viager" partially occupied, thus generating an income straight away.
