Karen Porter Independent Agent, says :

Bargain, Lovely French Barn Conversion, quiet edge of hamlet location, attached gardens of 3300m2 and swimming pool

This property has all the character and charm we come to expect from a stone barn conversion, its spacious and light and even offers potential to expand the number of bedrooms and provide rental income. An ideal permanent home or holiday retreat situated in the Brenne Naturel Parc and about 10 mins from the town of St Benoit du Sault, just over the border from the Limousin.

Sitting on the edge of a quiet hamlet the property enjoys nice countryside views. A gravel driveway from the gate brings us to the house.
Downstairs there is a fitted kitchen, big enough for a breakfast table and its part open plan to the living room with its insert fireplace. At about 32m2 the living room is large enough to double as a dining room and the 4 full length patio doors at the front ensure plenty of light floods in to the room. Up a few steps to a large bedroom, actually big enough to be two. This room has its own access onto the raised terrace outside an could be a good rental unit. Also downstairs is the shower room and separate toilet. Upstairs currently there are 2 bedrooms and a large unused landing area offers great potential to create an additional bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a family bathroom. Adding so much to the property at so minimal a cost and enabling you to put your individual stamp onto the property.
Outside the gardens are flat and easy to maintain and have plenty of mature plants and shrubs to add character. At 3347m2, just under 1 acre there is plenty of room for a vegetable garden. Terraced areas in front of the house make for a great place to sit out and enjoy the sun. The swimming pool has roman steps at one end and is a tear drop shape. All the electrics and pump are neatly housed in an artifical rock.
The house has a small outbuilding to the side, for storage and also a ground floor cellar, again great storage space.
The town of St Benoit du Sault with shops and restaurants is about 10 mins away. The A20 motorway coming down from Paris can be reached in about 10 mins and using it also takes about 1 hour 10 mins to get to Limoges airport, a pleasant stress free drive.

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.
