Bedroom/study (15m2) Downstairs shower room and separate WC. It would be possible to knock through the wall here into the stable next door to create more living space on the ground floor.
Upstairs there are two good sized double bedrooms.(30m2) (35m2).There is some storage space off the landing and a bathroom with WC.
The loft space over the old stables could provide more living accommodation (100m2)

There is a barn attached to the house. There are three original stalls used for the carthorses, another cow barn, and a feed store. On the gable end of the barn there is another old stable.
In the garden is a outbuilding. All the buildings are in good state.

The Indre is located in the south of the Centre-Val-de-Loire region and is named, like many French departments, after the river that flows through it. It has a historical link to the neighbouring department of Cher as together they form the old province of Berry. This is generally considered to be the most attractive part of the Loire Valley, and benefits from a milder, drier climate than the north of the region.
The Indre is a medieval department just waiting to be explored. It proudly boasts over 80 churches and 100 castles. The green hills and open fields that make up the surrounding countryside are great places to relax and spend time. The area is unspoiled by tourism or industry, and to date has been largely untouched by expatriate buyers looking to invest in a holiday home or more permanent property.
To the north of the department, the castles of Valencay, Bulges and Argy, which host a music festival every September. Issoudun is a major wine producing area, and to the south of the department have some lovely landscapes that in the past inspired Monet. In the north-west, there is the beautiful nature reserve of Brenne, nicknamed 'the country of a thousand lakes'. This is a great place to go hunting or fishing. The centre of the Indre around Châteauroux is where you will find the cultural heart of the department. It is here that many festivities take place over the summer months. Châteauroux is the capital of the Indre with a population of just over 50,000.
Unfortunately, the department does not yet have its own international airport. The nearest airports are Tours, Poitiers or Limoges, all of which have regular domestic and international flights. UK holiday-home owners can simply take the Channel Tunnel and then hop onto one of France's fast and comfortable TGV trains, which will take you to Tours by way of Paris. Travelling by car is still always an option as the department is only a few hours drive from Paris, and the road network is superb.
Despite the popularity of the area with retirees and second home owners, there are still some very cheap properties here. There is the possibility of renting out your property, although the market here is not as established as in the major tourist destinations.
