Centre, Indre-et-Loire, Betz le Chateau, France

Deceptively large 4 bed house comprising on the ground floor, a living room with feature fireplace which leads into a large open plan kitchen/dining room with a pantry and downstairs toilet. There are 2 staircases, one from the living room leading to a first floor games room with access to a large family bathroom and a large double bedroom. The second staircase leads from the dining room and gives access to a bedroom (don’t be thinking you have been turned upside down as there are objects fixed to the ceiling!) and then a staircase leading to the converted attic space, which has 2 bedrooms and a shower room which will need some finishing off. Leading outside from the dining room, there is a courtyard with a small storage shed and a large barn. Beyond the barn is a long, secluded back garden. A bit quirky this one and is in need of a fair amount of modernising, it lacks private parking but is a really large property at a very attractive price. The village has a private chateau, a beautiful church and amenities include a bakery/cafe and hairdressers. Also within walking distance of the house is a childrens playground and the village lake. The nearest large town is Ligueil (11km). The medieval market town of Loches is approx 18kms. Access to the A10 motorway (Paris/Bordeaux) is around 30km away and Tours with its Ryanair served airport and TGV/LGV (Paris 1hr) is just over 60km. This area is just on the edge of the World Heritage site of the Loire Valley with all of its beautiful chateaux and 30 mins from the Brenne National Park which is a birdwatchers paradise.
