House in Richelieu , Indre-et-Loire , Centre

Entering directly into the light, spacious hall (12.5m2), to the left is the living room (30m2) with window to the front and side. To the back of the hall, there is a WC and beyond, an office (5m2) with access to the outside courtyard. To the right of the hall and down a couple of steps into the older part of the house is the kitchen with window to the front and fireplace and dining room which is attached (29.5m2). The dining room has double patio doors out to the courtyard. To the left of the kitchen, a corridor runs to another front door and through a boiler room (8m2) to a door to the courtyard. Back in the hall, the staircase which is at rear divides. To the right, there is a small landing and two bedrooms (12m2 & 26m2) with a bathroom (8m2) with separate shower that connects by two doors to each bedroom. The larger bedroom is to the front of the property and has a feature fireplace. The smaller bedroom has a window to the courtyard. Back to the staircase, to the left and off another landing is a bathroom (10m2) with separate shower and three further bedrooms with wooden floors (14.5m2, 16m2 and 14m2). Two of the bedrooms have fireplaces. The larger bedroom has a window to the front and side. The smaller bedroom, to the side of the property, has two fitted cupboards. A doorway off the landing leads to the staircase to the attic where there is space and plumbing in place to fit a toilet. The attic space (72m2) would make a wonderful master bedroom suite. Outside, in the private courtyard (62m2) there is access to the garage (11m2) which opens to the side of the property. A separate outbuilding faces the house with two rooms below used for storage and two rooms above. Across the road there is a garden in the moat beside the river.
