Price of Escape to the Chateau DIY mansion up for sale

A mansion, which appeared on Escape to the Chateau DIY, is up for sale.

Angel and Dick Strawbridge, along with their children Arthur and Dorothy, live in the 45-bedroom Chateau-de-la-Motte Husson. However, a separate mansion, that featured on Channel 4 spin-off Escape to the Chateau DIY, is being sold nearby.

Escape to the Chateau DIY sees Dick and Angel offer advice and practical help to Brits buying chateaux in France, as well as new and established expat chateau owners. One of the properties featured on the show was Chateau de Sauge.

Listed with French estate agent, Leggett Immobilier, the property in Saint-Maixent-l'École is priced at £723,396. It has seven bedrooms, a vintage tea room and a small lake with water-side wooden pavilion.

There is also a studio-style gîte with kitchenette, bathroom and WC, various stone outbuildings around an interior courtyard and a former dovecote, hunting lodge and a wood-shuttered barn.

Speaking about the property, their agent Tamasin Wagstaffe said: "Recently restored, this beautiful residence is a magnificent family home while offering a wealth of options for a special events/accommodation activity. The Château is already well-known locally and further afield due to its starring role on Channel 4’s Escape to the Chateau DIY.

"It has been renovated to a very high standard by the current owners, who have also worked hard to restore it to its rightful place in the hearts and life of the local community. Whilst preserving the original features, renovation work has included insulation, the creation of a self-contained apartment and studio/gîte, together with its much-loved stylish vintage tea room (fully licensed), bed and breakfast suites and very popular British food store.

"Architectural plans and permissions to create a further 6 gîtes, a restaurant and a large reception room have already been obtained."
