French property in Centre - Indre et Loire - 5 bedroomed restored farmhouse in the heart of the countryside, 5 hectares and covered swimming pool

This old farmhouse has been lovingly restored and updated. The entrance hall with its vaulted ceiling is magnificent, being the full height of the building with beautiful beams, a woodburner and wooden staircase to a mezzanine floor, where there is a large bedroom and seating area.

To the right of the entrance hall is an open plan dining room and kitchen with a range cooker. To the left there is a stone archway (which used to be the entrance to another cottage) which now leads through into a sitting room complete with open fire in a 17th century stone fireplace, and a beautiful piece of antique wood panelling.

From here you go through into another hallway with stairs leading to the first floor. A decent sized space which at present is used as a study and also has a separate WC and hand washing facility.

Leading on from the study are 2 really good sized bedrooms with patio doors to the front courtyard and "jack and jill" shower room with twin wash handbasins and a recently installed woodburner.

Up the stairs from the study is a large bedroom with fantastic views over the countryside and its own bath! On the other side of the landing is a wc and hand basin, and another bedroom which overlooks the main hallway via a glass door with juliette balcony.

There are so many character features in this house, from beams to tiled floors and the outside is no different. The stone walls have been exposed and refinished and all the buildings have been re-roofed in slate.

The other buildings outside comprise a large barn(approx 12m x 7m) - double height on one side and the other side accommodates one of the neatest workshops I've ever seen! Forming the 3rd side of the courtyard are 3 old piggeries which have been completed renovated with new slate roofs which provide very good storage areas and a utility room.

The property is surrounded by lawn with a large pond in the front, a barbeque area at the back and to top it all a fantastic 10m x 5 m swimming pool with it's own retractable abri.

The property sits on 5 hectares of land, mainly pasture land but also wooded areas which provide wood for your fires in winter!

You really have to see this property to appreciate its relaxing but cosy ambiance. You could move in here with absolute no work to do and start living your French dream straight away.
