Historic Home 15c Property * Completely and sympathetically restored * Features galore * Easy access to local amenities * Manageable sized plot Owned since the late 1990s the current owners have completed a thorough task of renovating this property within the rules and regulations that govern Monument Historique listed (2nd class - outside) buildings. Their love for this home combined with their artistic aptitude caused the artisans working on the project to have more than one stressful period but the end result is above and beyond what is usually achieved. Their attention to detail combined with the reproduction of certain elements, based upon the original, shows through and what we have today is not only true to what was there 600 years ago but also combines the added functionality of modern improvements such as underfloor heating. The external facades, gargoyles, pitch of the roof and materials were all chosen to be in keeping with the original building and today you can see where the former tower, fireplaces and openings of old once were as this property changed shape and style throughout the centuries. This home now offers a large front to back triple aspect lounge with quarry tiled floor, large tuffeau fireplace, traditional cross framed windows and direct access to the covered outdoor dining area. The open plan kitchen and dining room with again those charming quarry tiled floors and exposed beams has also a working wood burner in the fireplace as well as the underfloor heating. the downstairs wc and wet room (shower) are next to a practical utility room which leads on to a vaulted study (this has been used as a downstairs bedroom and could be self-contained accommodation if required as it has it's own front door). The staircase is part stone and part wood and winds gently to the 1st floor offering access to either the master bedroom (triple aspect), a shower room with wc or what is currently used as the entertainment room (piano and projector) but could easily be another large bedroom with the possibility of adding an en-suite if required. The 2nd floor proudly shows its 15c origins with the exposed beams in the bedrooms leading the eye right up to the high pitch. Here the en-suite shower room and wc is neatly arranged so as not to intrude on the bedroom space. The second bedroom on this floor renovated and restored in the same style has it's own en-suite bath and wc facilities. This house has new electricity, drainage etc. and very good energy classifications and despite its 240m2 of living space is not expensive to heat and live in (a testament to the builders of old perhaps). Outside we have a large garage (currently used as an art studio but could again possibly be self-contained accommodation if required), private parking area, a formal garden, al-fresco covered dining area and views of the woodland behind. A short distance from local amenities and schools etc. makes this attractive home of interest to couples and families alike with the obvious possibility for paying guests if required. Saumur and the Loire Valley is around 30mins away and Tours and Angers a little further. A viewing is highly recommended.

Pays de la Loire regional description The Pays de la Loire is the region south of Brittany and Normandy and stretches to the Atlantic coast in the west, south to the borders of Poitou Charentes and east to Centre. At Healey Fox we specialise mainly in the area known as the Golden Triangle, being focussed on the Loire valley and covering everywhere between Tours, Le Mans and Angers. Although it's name may suggest expensive property, and certainly there is some of that, the average price of property in this area is substantially less than in some other parts of France. There certainly are some very special properties but there are also lovely little cottages, farmhouses and village houses, away from the tourist beat, to tempt everyone. Search for property in Pays de La Loire on the Healey Fox web site and see the choice! The Loire Valley is a UNESCO world heritage site and the Loire river is the longest river in all of France. It is not only long but also extremely wide as it makes it way through the river plain to the sea offering good fishing, wonderful cycle trails and many stop offs at attractive riverside villages and towns. Live like royalty in the centre of France Mention the Loire and most of us think about magnificent chateaux situated along the famous river. Often referred to as the Valley of the Kings, the historical wealth of the region cannot be in doubt when you gaze at these beautiful buildings. A favourite of mine is Chateau Amboise where Francois 1 settled Leonardo da Vinci in the nearby Close-Luce with its tunnel to the chateau. All Francois wanted was companionship and conversation which left Leonardo plenty of time to create his inventions, replicas of which can been seen in the chateau. My other favourite is Chateau de Chenonceau which apart from being stunning to wander around has the exciting history of it being used by the Resistance in the 2nd WW to escape occupied France as the river Cher, which the Chateau spans was the dividing line between occupied and free France. Luckily most of us don't want to own a Chateau and are very happy to look for a more modest property in Loire but days out to see them are really worthwhile. The Loire valley, a place to call home This part of France has attracted people from all over the world looking for second homes and full time homes. It is an area well provided for in hospitals, schools and shopping centres and with good air and TGV connections via Tours. The climate is also mild, spring comes earlier than in the U.K., summers tend to be warm and sunny on most days, autumn is long and beautiful and winters are not too long, nor too cold. Apart from the tourist attractions there are many diversions to enjoy. Lovely woods, cycle tracks, and lakes. You can still find peace and quiet in the countryside and enjoy the rolling countryside and many small rivers away from the more popular River Loire.The many small towns in the area remain lively throughout the year with many markets, festivals and other activities to enjoy whether it be summer or winter. Tours, Le Mans and Angers are interesting large towns with museums, art galleries and sophisticated shopping. Being in the Loire one must not forget the vineyards for the famous Chinon, Saumer and Vouvray wines where you can always enjoy a few tastings while choosing some bottles to take to your house in Loire.
