Centre, Indre-et-Loire, Bléré, France

This character property is in a quiet lane close to the town of Bléré. It was originally a winegrowers house built around 1900. It has been beautifully decorated throughout, and can be separated into two sections if required, simply by closing a connecting door.

The first part of the property has a beautiful living room with high ceiling and views out to the pretty well tended gardens. There is a good-sized alcove with a stone arch. The kitchen is just off the living room, as is a downstairs shower room and W.C. The utility area is also just off the living room, and is part of a cave. Beyond this there is a main cave in great condition.
A staircase leads to a bedroom that overlooks the living room. A second staircase leads to two further bedrooms, each with a private shower room with W.C. One of these has a door that leads to the second part of the property.

In this area there is a bedroom, currently used as a consultation room, and upstairs is a bedroom and a bathroom with W.C. By simply adding a kitchen this could immediately be used as a gîte, with independent access from the main house. The garage also has an internal doorway from the corridor in the section. The parking area in front of this part of the property has been developed to take several cars.

To the rear of the property has beautiful, and well-maintained gardens with plenty of privacy. A long sunny terrace stretched the length of the main house. There is a pergola with wisteria all over, offering plenty of shade for the summer months.

Things to note:

Fibre optic is connected to the property for the internet.
Mains drainage.
The roof with insulation was redone just 6 years ago.
There is a water softener.
The garden is watered by a reservoir of 4000l which collects all the rainwater from the roof. There is also a well, with an old pump, which is still working.
The heating is town gas.
The windows/doors are double-glazed, with the smaller frames opening (inside and out) to allow easy cleaning.
