4 Bed House for sale
Loches, Indre-et-Loire, Centre, France
Full Description
A magnificent village house in a beautiful, peaceful valley, built mainly in the 1500s and refurbished by an internationally renowned interior designer.
The house was completely renovated in 2013, from its terracotta floor tiles to its new roof (with old flat tiles), using the finest materials. Not only is it very comfortable, but the skilful renovation has filled the rooms with light.
The ground floor comprises a large kitchen with an open fireplace, an elegant entrance hall and a charming, spacious living room, housed in the historic cellars, whose origins are linked to the Knights Templar.
On the first floor, accessible via a beautiful new staircase painted white, are the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and views over the valley, another bedroom and a shower room.
On the second floor are a large and a small bedroom, which share a beautiful bathroom with shower.
The house has a beautiful courtyard planted with lavender and climbing roses, a terrace for outdoor dining and several outbuildings in the cellars. On the other side of the village's small street is the garden with terraced lawns and views of the bucolic French countryside, which is also part of the property.
The village is very popular with artists and has no shortage of historical monuments, including a sublime Romanesque church, a commandery, a wash house and many beautiful old houses. The village has a charming café-restaurant. The nearest town for services and a supermarket is Ligueil, a 7-minute drive away. The beautiful historic town of Loches is a 20-minute drive away, with its castle and old town, two weekly markets selling fresh produce, restaurants, shops and services.
The city of Tours, with its high-speed train to Paris (55 minutes) or Charles de Gaulle Airport (1.5 hours), is a 1-hour drive from this charming village property in southern Touraine.
