Description
Wonderful opportunity to acquire a beautiful 4 bedroom chateau and separate 3 bedroom cottage, nestling in nearly 11 acres of glorious land with lake and equestrian facilities in Lesterps.
Enter through the remote controlled gates, where you are greeted by the imposing front of the property. Through the front door into the large entrance hallway (15m wide x 3m deep), which connects all the rooms on the ground floor, you get first sight of the impressive spiral staircase.
At one end of the hallway is the living room, measuring 8m x 4m. The larger reception room is 9.9m x 4.86m and can be accessed either directly from the hallway, the living room or the kitchen. The kitchen is
6.4 m x 4m with a substantial fireplace. The sun-room delivers 8m x 3.5m of space with views on three sides. There is a separate WC on this floor, plus access down into the cellar.
Up to the first floor, there are 4 large bedrooms, (all similar in size of around 5.9m x 4m each), all with excellent views over the rear of the property. One has a bathroom en-suite, the others have showers.
Up the spiral staircase again to find the office and access into the enormous attic. With several windows in place, the attic offers potential to be converted into additional living space.
The separate cottage is perfect for either paying guests, or to have friends and family to stay. With a fitted kitchen/ diner, large living room, 3 double bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room, the cottage offers very comfortable accommodation.
Outside on the grounds there is a triple garage supplied with electricity, a barn, another outbuilding and boxes for 2-3 horses. The land is a mix of open paddock, mature trees and a small lake of around 2,000m2.
Additional information: Modern heating system installed in 2020. This delivers underfloor heating in the main building and to the cottage. This is fuelled by wood pellets. The cottage also has a separate heating system if required.
Single glazed windows and wooden shutters in the chateau, double glazing in the cottage. Roof on both buildings appears to be in good condition.
Overall condition of the property is good and ready to move into.
