Behind the electric gates waits a wooded path leading you to the rear of the property, shielded from passing eyes this family home enjoys a sunny disposition with lots of natural light flowing into the rooms on all three floors. An L-shaped building getting the most from the views and sunlight this home has been extended vertically and now offers 2 further floors with plenty of space for family and friends and with the large park and pool you'll be sure to have plenty of visitors.

Located a short 20 mins drive from the hussle and bussle of one of France's most popular cities (birth place of the modern French language and 'Rome 2' in Caesar's reign) this home has the best of both worlds. The spacious woodland with paths by the edge of the stream that borders the property allows nature to be on your doorstep and the pool and terrace with al-fresco dining area are an instant indication of where the emphasis is on the design of this home. The entrance hall offers a choice of doors, to the right we discover the library/study opening into the large lounge with glazed windows looking out over the park. To the left we have the family fitted kitchen with access to the terrace, from here we reach the dining room, double aspect with views towards the pool and direct access to the covered summer dining area. A laundry room, wc and inner hall with stairs complete the first floor.

On the first floor we find a landing area with cupboards, 2 family bedrooms with shower room and the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Up again on to the converted 2nd floor are two further bedrooms, a playroom and another shower room.

Outside we have 1.8hectares of land bordered by a stream with fish, woodland, lawn area, a 12x6m pool and sun terrace, a large barn with inside parking for several cars and a games room and workshop.

A short distance from the local village and a choice of market towns and 20 minutes from Tours with the rest of the Loire Valley to explore as well as excellent direct links to Paris (TGV) and the UK (flights). A lovely family home with potential for paying guests (B&B style) in an attractive park setting.

About Centre

Centre, like its neighbour the Pays de La Loire, is one the most majestic regions of France. Dominated by the Loire river and its chateaux, it is truly a magical part of France. Chartres, Blois and Bourges are some of the region's historic cities. Between Orleans and Tours is where you will see hundreds of magnificent chateaux, and this is where the region was given its name the "Valley of the Kings".

The scenery offers rolling hills, river valleys through to many forests, woodlands and lakes.

There are plenty of activities on offer from chateau tours, cycling, bird-watching, fishing, golf, hot-air ballooning, canoeing to kayaking. Of course the food and wines are excellent.

The area offers a mild climate thanks to the influence of the Loire river. The latitude of the Loire is typically where people say the climate becomes markedly better. The area offers milder winters, warm springs, warm to hot summers along with warm autumns.

Access to the region is good. There are low cost flights and the TGV fast train into Tours. Access to the region by car is also good with excellent motorway access. You can also fly into Paris and drive or take the train from there.
