DESCRIPTION

Ref.4439: Beautiful property for sale near Bois, with gîtes.

Situated on the edge of the village, the property enjoys a discreet, secluded setting in unspoilt countryside, ideal for making the most of the local wildlife, flora and private woodland. The neighbouring village is within walking distance and offers a range of shops and restaurants. It is also close to a railway station with connections to Blois, Tours and Paris. The property is 15 km from Blois and 40 km from Tours.

This comfortable family home offers approximately 560m² of accommodation over three floors, arranged as follows:

Ground floor: a 19m² entrance hall, reached via stone steps from the front lawn, welcomes visitors with elegant tiled flooring, a panelled ceiling and a ceiling height of 3.6 metres. It leads to the rear corridor and to the two reception rooms on either side.

To the right, the first 23m² reception room is currently used as a sitting room, although it was more likely intended as a dining room, as it connects directly to the kitchen. This dual-aspect room features a marble fireplace, original wood panelling, herringbone parquet flooring and a moulded ceiling. It also has direct access to the corridor leading to the staircase.

The well-appointed 22m² kitchen has red-and-white chequered flooring, an original stone fireplace and doors leading outside. A corridor leads to a rear hall with access to the basement.

To the left of the entrance hall, a second 23m² sitting room, also dual aspect, features a marble fireplace, herringbone parquet flooring and a plaster ceiling. The doors to the two reception rooms face each other across the corridor and, with their centrally positioned glazed fireplaces, create an impressive view through the house.

The 27m² music room has an impressive marble fireplace, herringbone parquet flooring and direct access to the south-facing exterior. The corridor, measuring 19m², passes the toilet and leads to the foot of a spiral staircase to the upper floors.

The first floor comprises a family bathroom, a toilet and five bedrooms, all with marble fireplaces; two also have en-suite shower rooms. Three of the five bedrooms (15m², 19m², 19m², 23m² and 23m²) are dual aspect, and all enjoy pleasant views.

The second floor has a 20m² vaulted TV room, which could be used as a bedroom, with exposed beams and parquet flooring. Three further bedrooms (two measuring 19m² and the third 23m²), all with parquet flooring, complete this floor. There is also a large 22m² dressing room with a bathroom and toilet.

The basement, accessed from the rear hall, extends beneath the entire ground floor (140m²). It comprises seven storage rooms, including a boiler room and a room containing the original well.

The outbuildings comprise:

4 independent gîtes (with 2, 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms respectively), all restored and used for holiday rentals;

a restored original greenhouse;

a 31m² orangery adjoining a storage room;

original 41m² stables;

a wood store;

‘Chai’: a wine-making, ageing and storage building of approximately 200m² over two floors, with a reception room above and an underground wine cellar 19m deep.

7.68 hectares of land, including a park with mature trees, gardens, tree-lined driveways, a gravel parking area, a swimming pool, an orchard and woodland (which, the owner tells us, is home to a family of 10 deer).
