A restored château in Niort, France dating from the 14th century

Posted on Sun, 28 Jan 2024 by KiM

The original chateau, with its round (western) tower has 14th century origins with substantial subsequent alterations, most notably; the addition of a second (eastern) wing in the late C16th, and two square towers in the C17th, only one of which, the eastern tower, remains today. The neo-classical stable block, and the barn with it’s chapel-like facade, were designed to be pleasing to the eye rather than purely functional. Over the last three years the current owners have undertaken extensive structural renovations and re-imagined, refitted and redecorated the entire chateau, combining authenticity and tasteful attention to detail to create a truly stunning home. Briefly, the accommodation comprises on the lower floors; a large kitchen with beautiful flagstone stone floor and huge original fireplace, a utility room, a laundry room, a sitting room, a dining room, the grand Louis XIII salon, and a second sitting room, then on the first floor a huge master bedroom suite comprising bedroom, ensuite, dressing room and private living room/study plus a further bedroom with ensuite bathroom. On the second floor you will find a further bedroom suite comprising; bedroom (with access to roof terrace), dressing room and ensuite bathroom, plus two further bedrooms, shower room, separate WC and an attic room. The eastern square tower is currently used as a guest suite with separate entrance, a small living/dining room, a small kitchenette, two bedrooms and two shower rooms.
This château is one of my absolute favourites I have featured on the blog that I would love to move in to and it only require minimal changes. And €1,399,000 for this splendid home! For sale via Belles Demeures.
