Centre, Indre, St-Benoît-du-Sault, France

Just a few minutes drive to the lovely medieval village of St Benoit du Sault (officially one of France’s ‘most beautiful villages’) where there is a supermarket and various shops and services, sits this lovely modern style property. 15-20 minutes by car and you are in the lovely larger town of Argenton-sur-Creuse where there is a train station with direct links to Paris, and under an hour away is the international airport in Limoges with links to various regional UK airports.



The property is split over 3 levels, with the main accommodation being on the raised ground and first floor levels, beneath which is a semi-basement area that extends under the whole of the property and provides a great deal of extra living space if required (subject to necessary permissions)!



On the main floor, which is up a few steps from the drive, there is a charming kitchen diner (25.5m2) with a lovely old wooden floor, and a range of fitted units as well as a hob and extractor hood, and a fabulous old wood burning ‘oven’ that is in full working order and can be used as supplementary heating in the winter! Centrally there is a tiled room (25.5m2) which could be a large entrance hall as there is another door to the front, and to the rear of this there is a stylish shower room (5m2) (shower, basin, toilet). Also on this floor there is small internal hallway with a storage cupboard and access to the stairs down to the basement, and then through to a large living room (32m2) with sea grass floor covering and a wood burning stove.



On the first floor, which is all in the eaves, there is a small landing and a separate toilet with wash hand basin, and to either side are 2 bedrooms; one of which (29m2) has an old wooden floor and exposed beams, and the other (20m2) has lovely exposed beams and an ensuite bathroom (14m2) with lovely roll top bath and basin and exposed stonework and beams.



In the semi-basement level of the property the stairs come down into a summer kitchen area (11m2) which has some pretty hand painted units, there is a large utility room (15m2) with a macerating toilet in the corner, a large room (21m2) currently set up as a bar/living area that has the atmosphere of an old fishing bar somewhere in a rural part of Spain! Finally there is a large cellar area (21m2).



At the bottom of the drive is a huge garage/workshop. The garage area (40m2) is mostly double height, whilst over the workshop area (20m2) there is a first floor that actually extends to around 28m2, and is fully boarded out and currently used as a craft room!



The property sits in a large plot of land with a covered terrace and outdoor kitchen and BBQ area nearest to the property, as well as a swimming pool (6x4m) and lovely decked area with a fully functioning well, and then a large field with a huge open sided hangar that would be a perfect field shelter for animals or storage for the tractor, and which also has power to it. The total plot is just over an acre (4,242m2).



The property is connected to mains drainage and has an oil fired central heating system.



This is a really charming home with a fabulous outside space in a peaceful and un-overlooked position that is really well worth a visit!
