An exceptional, small chateau, this beautifully presented seven bedroom property retains the style and proportions redolent of the Napoleonic architecture of early 19th century France.

The property has three interconnecting reception rooms with the central one opening to a sweeping stone staircase into the gardens and parkland which surround the house. The kitchen and utility rooms are well-fitted with bespoke, painted wooden units and the lower ground floor, which opens to the gardens has additional accommodation.

To one side is a large swimming pool, surrounded by a fenced terrace and overlooked by a spacious pool house. There are traditional outbuildings, the remains of an older chateau in the gardens, a circular carriage drive and imposing gates.

The property is on the edge of a popular village in the rural Gironde and is approximately 20km from St Emilion.
