Colin Appleyard Independent Agent, says :

Attractive mill complex with expansive accommodation and great potential in 12 hectares of gardens and woodlands

Situated on the Haute Vienne border with the Indre, this attractive property sits in landscaped gardens of just over 2.5 hectares. In addition there are almost 9 hectares of woodland to explore on the other side of the river accessed by a footbridge.

The original mill building, with many original features still in place including the mill wheel, and a second equally sized building on two levels, both in good condition, has the potential to be developed into gites or equivalent.
The mill house itself provides over 150m2 of quality living accommodation essentially on one level comprising a fitted kitchen with breakfast area, a beautiful and expansive open plan formal dining hall and sitting room (with log burner) and with a mezzanine floor above (also serving as a living room space) plus two sets of French doors, the first leading to the morning terrace over looking the garden, the second leading to the afternoon terrace overlooking the old mill house and the mill stream; three luxury bedrooms, one including a mezzanine area, a bathroom, a shower room and an integral garage accessed from the garden side.
The attic space above the mill house can be independently accessed, via a small bridge, from the pathway that runs behind the buildings. Accordingly this would lend itself to the development of separate and independent guest accommodation.

Location in France

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.
