Upstairs full bathroom, two bedrooms with pretty views of the countryside and for the train enthusiast there are two trains per day that pass the property. Unfortunately the line maybe closed soon due to cutbacks.

Chasseneuil has very nice shops, supermaket, Dr. and dentists. The Chateau town of La Rochefoucauld is very pretty again with very nice shops and restaurants.

A large salon with a four door opening to a well fitted kitchen/breakfast room is accessed from the spacious hall with kited stairs and this also has doors to a round study/library and the lower ground floor, where a unique round wine cellar/bar area and laundry room can be found.

Outside there are balustraded staircases and terraces around the pool and the dome covered jacuzzi. Formal gardens lead to a six hole target golf course and areas of woodland. Off the main drive is the sports complex of over 4,000 sq ft which includes a gym, badminton court and areas for table tennis, pool etc.

Quend, Somme, Northern France

Chateau and 3 hectares of prime land in the centre of the town of Quend for sale.
The chateau retains many of its original features and requires renovation, and permission has been sought  to develop the land which sits in the centre of the village, facing the central church.
Satellite views of the site show it to represent around a third of the entire town.
Current valuations lie between 1.5 and 2.5 million euros because of the rapid development in the Nord Pas-De-Calais region of France, spilling over into Somme (this property is just inside the Somme).  Should the permission to develop be granted the value is likely to increase by a factor of 4 to 6 times its current price.
The property also comes with the website www.chateauquend.com
 
Price Sought:  Offers over 1 million euros

Central Brittany


Large stone built farm house and outbuildings in a very small, sleepy, rural village very much off the beaten track.
Around 150 square metres habitable.  Comprising:
Large lounge/ diner   (50 square meters)
Large kitchen, 3 double  bedrooms (the third being the whole of the top floor), Bathroom
Provision for second bathroom.
There are three large stone outbuildings, mostly in good repair.
The house has had extensive renovations carried out and is in a comfortable, habitable condition though there is still some finishing work to do.
There is just over an acre of land comprising a small meadow, an orchard, a garden and other parcels within a beautiful, unspoilt , wooded valley with a stream running through. Just about all of the valley and more buildings could be bought for relatively small extra cost allowing a lot of potential for several gites, a small holding or other rural business.
A project for someone with an adventurous spirit, who is looking for a completely different lifestyle, at an affordable price that could normally only be dreamed about.
