Set within a late-19th-century French château a short distance from Paris, this one-bedroom apartment offers an unusual alternative to a conventional city pied-à-terre.

The residence occupies part of a distinguished brick-and-stone building with a slate mansard roof, pavilion roofs and a formal entrance, surrounded by lawns, mature trees and a distant pond. Upper-floor outlooks take in poplars, fields and the estate grounds — a setting more usually associated with a country house than an apartment.

The reception room features high ceilings, herringbone parquet and tall windows with red shutters, giving a flexible living and dining space with strong natural light. The bedroom is a quiet, well-proportioned room with wide oak flooring and a large window overlooking trees,

The kitchen is fitted with matte black cabinetry, a wood worktop, induction hob, built-in oven, extractor and sink. The bathroom has white wall tiling, a bath, a double vanity with glass basins and an arched window.In brief: one bedroom, reception room, fitted kitchen and bathroom, within a château estate close to Paris. Ideal as a pied-à-terre or weekend base for a buyer who wants architecture and grounds that a standard apartment cannot offer.

A rare opportunity to own a private one-bedroom apartment within a late-19th-century French château, set in open parkland a short drive from Paris.
