Live the chateau life like Dick & Angel Strawbridge in this small French castle
If you've always wanted to live the chateau life, very much like Escape to the Chateau stars Dick and Angel Strawbridge, then you'll fall in love with this meticulously restored French castle for sale.
Dick and Angel created their dream family home in the 45-bedroom Château de la Motte-Husson in Pays de la Loire, but if you fancy taking on your own (albeit smaller) restoration, this castle ticks a lot of boxes.
Look to Chemin de Stevenson in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the south of France, where you'll find a small castle with plenty of charm and history.
The exterior of this 16th century chateau is as pretty as a postcard. Surrounded by a protective park of approximately 2.4 hectares, the property is flanked by three round towers and includes caretaker accommodation, as well as an outbuilding.
Described as 'an architectural gem in the heart of a green oasis', the interior has lots of lovely features typical of a chateau, including exposed stone walls, arched doors and intricate ceiling work.
Generally, the interiors are warm, cosy and intimate, combining old and new with an eclectic mix of furnishings.
The chateau is spread across two floors and the ground floor is made up of several large living rooms, one with a monumental fireplace, and it opens onto a majestic terrace overlooking the park, which is extended by an elegant double spiral staircase for access.
There are three bedroom suites with grand four-poster beds, and there's also a games room, but this could be transformed into another bedroom or home office depending on the new homeowner's needs.
Aside from the expansive grounds, outside you'll find a symmetrical cut stone fountain decorated with a cherub, which only accentuates the romanticism of the surrounding area. Plus, there's an outdoor swimming pool with a pool house and facilities.
This chateau is on the market for €1,950,000 via Knight Frank.
