A huge mansion house in western France which features on Escape To The Chateau DIY has been put on the market at the same price as a one-bedroom flat in London.

The sprawling home, which spans 15,000 square metres and boasts its own fully licensed vintage tea room, is located in the Saint-Maixent-l'École area and stands just 30 minutes from the main town of the Deux Sèvres region, Niort.

Featuring nine bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the incredible property also comes equipped with its own British food store and even a bed and breakfast suite.

The home is one of those which have rose to fame on Escape To The Chateau DIY, as Channel 4 hosts Dick Strawbridge and Angel Adoree help other families from the UK to follow their lead by buying a French chateau and making it their home.

So its price is even more surprising given its size, facilities and the new found spotlight which has been put on it, as reports The Mirror.

Costing £724,916 – equal to the price of a one bedroom flat in Battersea, London - the swanky pad also has its own original features which include exposed stone walls, beams, mouldings, staircases, a tower, two large vaulted cellars and exposed stone walls.

There is also a small lake outside with a wooden pavilion attached, another apartment on site as well as stables, a cowshed, a big barn and a hunting lodge to name just a few highlights.

The listing reads: "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 Ch4’s Escape to the Chateau DIY.

"It has been renovated to a very high standard by the current owners, who have also worked
