Behind the Chateau are about 15 hectares of fields also previously owned by the Chateau. The vendor has done considerable work, is only selling for personal reasons and has sealed all of the bare stone walls in the interior, retiled the dining room and kitchen, carpeted the living room, installed the 2nd bathroom and kitchen and done most of the redecoration. There is, of course, scope for further improvements in a 17th C building for further improvement and changes depending on the wishes and tastes of the purchasers.
