R116 Medieval Riverside Chateau for sale – Villeneuve-sur-Lot, Lot-et-Garonne, Aquitaine

Standing proudly on the banks of the River Lot, this magnificent medieval chateau was built to command its stretch of waterway and was, at one time, responsible for levying waterway tolls. Rooms are large and impressive and retain all of the character that you would expect of such a fortification - stone spiral staircases, impressive fireplace, exposed beams and vaulted ceilings to name a few. Whilst the chateau is authentic and bold, the gardens are more refined and genteel - elegant paths flanked with formal flower beds, symmetry, colour and variety - providing a contrasting and yet complementary setting. 'La piece de résistance' is undoubtedly the river itself which passes below the chateau along a river frontage of some 200m - perfect to enjoy from the terraces that line it. The six bedrooms in the chateau are complemented by a self-contained but connected Guardian's cottage, adding a further three bedrooms. SOLD
