If you're looking for peace and quiet combined with luxury and only a short stroll into the village or 5 minute drive into central Tours then this charming Mill house could be right for you.

Imposing electric gates lead you into the front garden and parking area with direct access to the graveled courtyard to the side between the main house and barn/garages. The arched upper 2 floor windows typical of mills of the period give an instant idea of the large light and airy rooms that lie within. From the main hallway with sturdy wooden door we step down into the former 'working part' of the mill now beautifully transformed into a large (71m2) double aspect lounge with enclosed breakfast area over the mill turbine with views over the reach to the rear, floor to ceiling window providing views over the water passage before it runs under the bridge, feature fireplace, tiled floors and exposed beam ceilings - a truly magnificent room. Stepping up from the lounge we have a double aspect dining room with views over the reach and direct access to the fitted kitchen. There's a practical winter cloakroom and side entrance as well as one directly to the terrace. A laundry room next to a wc is to be found just off the large open plan study area with a former downstairs bedroom now used as an office taking us back to the main entrance hall.

The first floor is divided into two interconnecting parts: the former Miller's home now offers two large double-aspect double bedrooms with en-suite bathroom/shower rooms (one with a dressing room) and a smaller double bedroom with en-suite shower room. The former 1st floor of the 'working part' of the mill now provides 3 further bedrooms each one with en-suite facilities. The upper floor has been converted and is now divided into two large games rooms, a storage room and 3 guest bedrooms with separate large shower room and wc. And if that wasn't enough there's still space above to create more.

Outside we have a large barn (internal parking for 5 cars) with high vaulted roof, an arched roof wine cellar with storage space above. A separate guest lodge ripe for completion into lounge, shower room, wc, kitchen and bedroom if required. The properties sits on a plot of just over 1 hectare with a heated swimming pool, hard tennis court, 1000m2+ pond, the mill reach, river embankment, various terraces and large lawn area with fruit trees.

A very tranquil location a short walk from the village with good local amenities and a 5 - 10 minute drive will see you in the centre of Tours. An ideal place to live whilst retaining the advantages of city life without the inconveniences. A large family home with guest potential (paying or otherwise) in a protected and popular part of the Loire valley.
