Built sometime in the early 1800s, the Farmhouse offers an attractive combination of the traditional and the modern. Situated on the south-west corner of the Farm Courtyard and enjoying views over the lawns and lake, the Farmhouse consists of a large, triple-aspect living/dining room, compact modern kitchen, bathroom, separate WC, principal bedroom (double), second bedroom (twin) with a third bedroom, with a bunk bed, leading off it. It is tastefully decorated and traditionally furnished in French style with touches ‘à l’Anglais’.
The Farmhouse forms the south-west corner of a cobbled farmyard, around which are situated stables, coachouse, workshops, barns, henhouse and outbuildings, which occupy three of the four sides. The forth has a low wall and looks out onto the grounds of the Château.
Like many buildings in the area, the Farmhouse is essentially Flemish in design and is a striking building in its own right.
The south facing wall is covered by very old, scented climbing roses which reach the full height of the building. They face what was the original kitchen garden (which we hope at some point to restore) and a professionally constructed manege for schooling horses.
For equestrian guests, the stables and the floodlit manège are available with the Farmhouse as part of a package arrangement for horse training intensives. Please call and ask us about this facility.
Farmhouse visitors can elect to self-cater and be completely self-sufficient or, as an interesting alternative (subject to availability and at additional cost), can join Château guests for dinner as Table d'Hôte guests. Dinner 42 euros per head (three courses, including half a bottle of wine per head per adult and coffee) If you have a larger party, additional rooms are usually available in the Château.
