Description
This magnificent château and its grounds are just 25 minutes from the town of Lamballe. Nestling in countryside, the grounds of over 27 hectares also include a mill, a chapel and a farmhouse. Dating from the 15th century, it was modified in two phases during the 18th and 19th centuries. Steeped in history, the estate has been a stately home through the ages, as evidenced by its remarkable chapel.
On entering the main door there is a vestibule with black and beige period floor tiles, and on the left, a vast, light-filled sitting room with a superb marble fireplace and solid wood parquet flooring. A few steps lead up to the tower's circular boudoir.
On the other side of the hallway, there is a beautiful blue dining room, with double exposure, beams, parquet flooring and a fireplace. A few steps lead up to a most atypical library featuring old church capitals as fireplace towers, here the beams are exposed and include dragon head finishes. Next to the library is a good-sized study and a recent secondary kitchen.
Returning to the hallway, opposite the front door is a huge double aspect, traditional French kitchen with exposed beams, a large stone fireplace and a service staircase. There is also a utility room that could be used for storage. A large circular wooden staircase leads off the hallway. A short way up the staircase is a door leading to a cloakroom with a toilet and washbasin. The stairs then lead to the 1st floor.
On the 1st floor from west to east, served by a long corridor, there is a large flat with two rooms and a circular boudoir. There are 3 good-sized bedrooms facing south, a linen room with two bathrooms and separate toilet, access to the back staircase and a large bedroom with a vast dressing room and en suite bathroom.
On the 2nd floor there is a large flat awaiting renovation, with 5 good-sized rooms that could be converted into bedrooms after renovation.
Several cellars are accessible from the outside, including a wine cellar, a boiler room and a shed.
The château is in need of refreshment and restoration. However, it has benefited from recent improvements including some double-glazed windows, several new roofs and geothermal central heating for part of the living space.
Outside, a small stone footbridge leads to the private chapel. The chapel features beautiful, colourful stained glass windows, statues and an original altar. Old coats of arms adorn the walls. The mill is not far from here, fed by the River Rance, it still has its old mechanisms and after restoration could become functional again. The mill is in need of complete renovation but has huge potential and could be suitable for various projects.
The farmhouse is located 200 m west of the château. Comprising two large, impressive buildings, the farmhouse could be converted into two beautiful houses or gites. One of the buildings is currently used as a dwelling, comprising on the ground floor a living room with an open fireplace and kitchen area and a large shed that could be converted into a sitting room. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Part of this building is used for storage and as a workshop.
The second building once housed the stables and could easily be refurbished for this purpose. It could also be used as another dwelling, as it has a first floor running the full length of the building. There is also a large garage capable of housing several cars and other vehicles.
The parklands are green and far reaching, with several lakes, meadows and large wooded areas with private footpaths. There are numerous flowerbeds right next to the château. A wooden carport is located just outside the main entrance to the château. The River Rance flows through the property below the château, adding to the exceptional character of this unique property.
