Castle wing and orangerie surrounded by water-filled moats close to Montereau
Between 70 and 85 km (44 & 53 miles) from Paris, depending on the route, close to Montereau in the French department of Seine & Marne, near to a small village in a rural and pastoral setting. 19th century, L-shaped castle and its outbuildings, bordered by water-filled moats, spanned by a small bridge.
The previous owner divided the estate into several units.
The unit for sale comprises 2,800 m² (0.7 acres) land, together with:
- A castle wing with a total surface area of approx. 800 m² (8,610 sq ft), over 4 floors excluding cellars, which is a ground surface area of 200 m² (2,153 sq ft). Three floors (600 m² / 6,458 sq ft) are fully renovated (apart from one room) and lived in. The top floor is attic space which could possibly be converted into 6 to 8 bedrooms. This wing is the most recent part of the estate.
Outbuildings included in the sale:
- A 110 m² (1,184 sq ft) orangerie.
- A small two-roomed house currently used for storage purposes.
- A wash-house giving on to the moats.
Added during the last century, the wing of the castle obviously adjoins the rest of the castle, but is totally independent due to the fact that it is accessed via a lateral driveway.
This brick and stone building spans four stories. The windows are framed with red and black bricks and the discharging arch is of brick; the slate roof features numerous Jacobean-style dormers.
Ground floor: entrance hall, stairway, toilet, family dining room, vast adjoining kitchen. Three living rooms.
First floor: 4 bedrooms (one of which needs attention), toilet with wash-hand basin, 2 large bathrooms.
Second floor: 4 bedrooms, toilet with wash-hand basin, dressing room, 2 large bathrooms.
Attic (awaiting conversion): former staff bedrooms (same configuration as the other floors).
Cellar: oil-fired boiler, wood cellar, wine cellar.
This is obviously, only part of the castle, but the separation of the estate has been cleverly thought out and now resembles a small hamlet rather than a castle divided into pieces.
Price: 945 000 €
