Expect the most wonderful décor from hand-printed wallpaper and intricately designed fabrics to vintage furnishings giving this 19th-century abode a classic yet high-end old-world ambience. Elegant windows frame views of the French wine countryside whilst the three historic turrets are architecturally significant.
Step through the grand hallway’s French windows and be greeted by the sight of the estate’s vast lawns, 40-acre woodland and vineyard that produces a white, rosé and red Bordeaux, all available to purchase. Follow the picturesque path to the inviting swimming pool or play tennis on the private court in stunning surroundings. Discover nature trails and jogging routes as you explore the 52 acres of glorious grounds.
Experience authentic French cuisine by taking advantage of the private chef services whether arranging gourmet picnics, candle-lit feasts or meals al-fresco on the terrace, of course accompanied by the estate’s own wine. Breakfast can also be prepared, perhaps served in the rustic kitchen with its roaring fire or on the summer terrace by the lavender and flowers.
