A late 15th century fortified house, saved from ruin a few years ago. Set in unspoiled rural surroundings, in a quiet valley not far from the spa town of Vichy which has an impressive number of chateaux and fine houses, it has three acres of grounds including a formal garden in the best French tradition. The main feature of the ground floor is a huge reception room with monumental fireplace and a fine mullioned window looking onto the garden. Dining room, kitchen. A spiral staircase leads up to five bedrooms, each with private bathroom. The bedrooms in the towers have kept exposed the magnificent, intricate roof timbers. The outbuildings, once stables, had three large arched openings made in the 18th century, which still form a lovely feature. Here two separate two-bedroom dwellings have been made, each with its own access, its own kitchen/dining room and its own salon, with central heating throughout, and private bathrooms for each bedroom. The two dwellings can be made to communicate if a large party of guests is expected. There is also a separate house, some 75 m², intended for a caretaker, with its own private access. The most recent part of the renovation has been to create the formal garden with its clipped yew and box, and there is a tennis court and large swimming pool at a suitable distance from the main house, and also very accessible for the "gîtes".
