The Estate

 

The Chateau and Gardens

​

The chateau is at the heart of the estate,. The château dates from the 17th century, with 18th-century additions. It has remained a private residence throughout its history. It is surrounded by traditional Norman buildings that are dotted around the gardens. Guests of the chateau have use of these two buildings:

 

• The Chapel

• The Pool house.  This was formerly a stable block and was renovated in 2004 and now consists of a large kitchen, a multipurpose galleried hall that can easily seat 28 for dinner, and two shower rooms. The pool is close by and is 12 metres by 6 metres. It is  heated and functional from June to September inclusive.  There is an additional king sized bedroom available in this property if required.

 

    There are a number of other buildings in the gardens used for the running of the estate including:

 

• The Estate Manager’s House

• The Carriage House  (With an additional ensuite bedroom if required)

• The Fruit Store (a mirror image of the Chapel)

• The Children’s House (currently used for storage).

 

Please note that guests do not have access to these buildings

​

The Farm

This consists of a farmhouse, that is the oldest building on the estate dating back to about 1640. It was fully restored in 2004 and now provides accommodation for up to 10 people. It has its own entrance drive from the public road, and is surrounded by grazing land and orchards.

 

Woodland

Below the chateau gardens and the farm is a wood with a path going through it that leads to an old lavoir where the washing for the chateau was once done.
