Description:

Located in the heart of a touristic village
* Excellent choice of market towns
* Local amenities
* Quiet location
* Local large leisure lake
* Ideal holiday home

Equal distance from either Le Mans or Tours (approximately 45 mins) this charming village home is well presented and in an ideal location. A stroll across the church square in the morning for your hot croissants/pain au chocolat or an afternoon spent watching the road go by in the local cafe are all to be had with this home. Since buying in 2006 the current owners have improved and modernised this traditional French village property and have created a comfortable light and airy 2 bedroom home with a manageable garden offering gated private parking as well as a 2 car garage. A popular rental with Le Mans 24h and Classic Race watchers this property could pay for itself (and more) as well as a great family base from which to explore the Loire Valley and beyond. The local large leisure lake is a short bike ride away and offers a beach with safe swimming, play area, bistro, sailing club, etc. etc. a popular place to unwind and enjoy the fine weather we have in this area.

The good sized kitchen has all been replaced and is attractive and functional. The lounge/diner with working fireplace benefits from large glazed doors leading directly to the garden as well as internal access to that most important 'wine cellar', as well as the boiler room (oil fired central heating) and the large double garage (or games room depending upon your requirements) and a wc (mains drainage) completes the ground floor. Upstairs are two well proportioned double bedrooms both with views over the garden to the rear of the church and a family bathroom with bath and shower and separate wc.

Outside the garden measures approximately 265m2 with a mature hedge, easy to maintain borders/shrubs and path from the gates to the garage. The owners tell me that about the only noise they hear is the singing from the occasional choir practice held in the church.

An ideal holiday home or investment in this popular area with nothing to be done except move in, enjoy that glass of wine and relax.

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.
