Chateau in Villers-Bocage

Lovely 18th century property, fitted out in the respect of its history.
This typical French chateau, with its small pointed pediment marking the centre of the building, dates from the 18th century. All the graceful and unpretentious elements of the field house of its time can be found there.

The property, which was used after the war as a convalescent home, has lost the outbuildings surrounding the property. However, 3.8 hectares of grass and beautiful trees surround the property and are waiting to be redesigned as an English garden.
Beyond, numerous uncultivated pastures complete the estate.
