The Stables
The"Stables" are hardly what we would imagine as stables. This building represents 300m2 of space on the ground level alone. A second-floor attic space remains to be renovated.
See floorplan here.
​
There is the potential in this building for a fully independent home, in what has been previously used as a restaurant.
There is more flexibility in the renovation of this space than in the Château itself, both structurally and with respect to the constraints imposed by the architects in charge of French Monuments Historiques.
​
Saint-Jean Tower
The Saint-Jean Tower is used as a guesthouse, with three independent bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms, identically configured. The total living space represents 120m2:
​
- Lowest level: bedroom with ensuite bathroom and WC (room “François 1er”)
- Ground floor: bedrooms with ensuite bathroom and WC
- 1 st Floor: bedroom with ensuite bathroom and WC
The Chapel
The "Chapel" includes a jewel of a chapel, but also a courtroom and a prison. The latter may remain useful for badly-behaved guests, but most likely a more civilized function will need to be determined.
The chapel is a fine venue for small concerts.
​
The Caretaker's House
The Westgate caretaker's home is currently occupied by the gardener and his wife, but they could be relodged else on the property.
The house contains a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms and veranda-covered storage room.
