FRANCE: POITOU-CHARENTES

This chateau, which sits in a hectare of parkland, is in La Trimouille. It is divided into two homes, one fully renovated and the other in good condition but which could do with more work. There are eight bedrooms in all across the two parts of the chateau, which could naturally be turned back into a single home. The chateau is reached via a tree-lined drive and the surrounding garden has mature trees, lawns and a fountain. The city of Montmorillon is a short drive away.
