Property Description: La Chevronniere is a tiny hamlet of seven properties in the countryside south of the river Loire. It is very peaceful yet conveniently placed for all the famous Loire attractions ? the chateaux, vineyards and many places of interest. Nearby are activities to enjoy such as swimming, cycling, fishing and walking. Ligueil and Loches are within 20 minutes drive, both towns have outdoor markets and supermarkets and Loches offers a good selection of restaurants, shops and bars.
There?s a great opportunity here to make a fantastic family home and/or holiday accommodation. The main house has a large living room (4.77m x 5.59m) with a sink in one corner, a further 2 rooms which could easily be made into one large one and a shower room on the ground floor. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms and a shower room. The living area has a huge stone fireplace and exposed stone walls. Although the house was used for holidays for many years it has been empty for 18 months and nature's taking over. It is a restoration project now. There was a burst pipe which has left a few damp patches around so some work needs to be done in some rooms.
A half-glazed stable door leads out to the patio and field /garden which is west facing so benefits from plenty of sunshine. The two upstairs bedrooms have dormer windows with views over the countryside.
Adjoining the house but needing restoration is a stable and dairy which would provide either further accommodation to make a large family house or separate accommodation for letting. There is also a log store, pigsty and small barn. We have water and electricity connected and a septic tank. There is also a telephone line.
Behind the property and belonging to it is a large field (3900sq m) which is farmed by our lovely French neighbour at the moment but could easily be made into a garden with plenty of room for a swimming pool. Sit on the patio, soak up the sun then watch fantastic sunsets and finally gaze at all the stars, there?s no light pollution here!
This property would make a great little small holding. There?s enough land to grow vegetables, keep a few goats and hens and the hedgerows are full of berries in the late summer and autumn. The village of Betz-le-Chateau is less than a mile away, there you will find a plan d?eau, bar and fresh bread. The hamlet is surrounded by farm land and there are woods and lakes in walking distance, an idyllic place to live or take holidays.
