Chateau de Moulinsart (Marlinspike Hall)

For my first upload, here is Chateau de Moulinsart (Marlinspike Hall in the english version), the belgian chateau owned by Captain Haddock in the comic book series The Adventures of Tintin. It was drawn by Herge, and based on the central part of the Chateau de Cheverny, shown in this image in both forms:

My version is a 4.1 (!) story building, with a basement, 3 main floors and an attic room:

Basement

Kitchen
Guest Toilet
Servant's Quarters
Study (with a door to Butler's bedroom because I thought it should be his study, but if you like you could remove that and leave it as a study for the owner)

Ground Floor

Main Hallway
Dining Room
Drawing Room

First Floor

Master Bedroom with dressing room
Bedrooms 2 and 3
all with private ensuites

Second Floor

Empty to allow your own customisation, maybe an entertainment room for kids, or perhaps Le Comte de Moulinsart's art collection...

Attic Room

Tiny room for use as you see fit, I've put a desk, computer and bookcases, you may prefer an easel for the comtesse


I advise that you lock all the doors except the external and guest toilet ones, to stop guests wandering, they should really be limited to the ground floor and that toilet.

The house is furnished with all the luxurious essentials, but to keep the cost down there is no artwork, which is necessary to maintain the grandeur of this magnificent building.

I also recommend that if you have Nightlife and/or Apartments, you download these:

and the Bentley Turbo-R, Rolls-Royce Phantom or equivalent cars off sims2carsource.net, they look great parked on the second driveway extension from the road.
