8 bed château for sale

Beauficel, Manche, Normandie

The main entrance to the château features a grand and impressive hallway, leading into a comfortable sitting room with a traditional fireplace and a wood-burning stove. There is also a second sitting room, or "pièce de vie, " offering additional space for relaxation. Off the grand hallway, you will also find the kitchen, and a WC.

The wide, original oak staircase is a striking feature, leading you up to the first floor where two large, elegant bedrooms await. An adjoining dressing room adds to the functionality and charm of this level, and the tastefully decorated bathroom completes the space.

The staircase continues to the second floor, where a similar layout is found, with two more spacious bedrooms and another well-appointed bathroom. This level mirrors the elegance and functionality of the floors below, offering additional living space that maintains the château’s harmonious design.

The west wing of the château, adjoining the kitchen, features another entrance hallway that leads into a sitting room with a charming fireplace. Also on this level is a utility room and a downstairs loo for added convenience. This wing can be accessed directly through the château kitchen or can be closed off for more privacy. Stairs lead up to the first floor, where there are three well-sized bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. The second floor offers three smaller rooms under the eaves, ideal for storage or other uses, along with an additional bathroom.

The property has recently been fitted with a new wood-fuelled central heating boiler, which is housed in the spacious cellar located underneath part of the château. The cellar is accessed via an external doorway and offers ample space, making it perfect for use as a wine cellar or additional storage.

Throughout the property, the sympathetic renovation has been carried out with careful attention to detail, maintaining the château’s original character while introducing modern comforts. The period features, such as the oak staircase and elegant moldings, have been preserved, seamlessly blending the historic charm with contemporary living standards.

There is an independent studio or gîte, which is open-plan with a large living area and kitchen, a bedroom, and a wet room, all located on the ground floor. The space is very light, with doors leading out onto a south-facing terrace. From here, you can enjoy views of the château and gardens as well as the above-ground swimming pool, making it the perfect retreat for guests or as a rental opportunity. The studio is sustainably run by solar panels, providing an eco-friendly energy source.

On the estate, there is a large outbuilding, ideal for storing wood, tractors, and other workshop equipment. Additionally, there is a coach house with a spacious upper floor, offering a fantastic venue for hosting events within the château grounds. This versatile space could be used for a variety of occasions, adding even more charm and potential to the property.

A truly stunning and exceptionally well-presented property with huge potential, this château has been sympathetically renovated to a high standard of elegance and comfort. With your own forest to fuel the heating system, this is a rare opportunity to own a château set in the breathtaking landscape of the Normandy countryside.
