Again there is a beamed ceiling and the floor tiles are the same as those in the dinning room. There is a large double door that leads out to the courtyard. Off the entrance hall you gain access to the large family bathroom (12 m2) with a beamed ceiling. From the top of the stairs you go into a large mezzanine (26 m2) with original wooden panelling to the one wall and beamed ceiling. Through the mezzanine you gain access to a large bedroom (28 m2) that has plumbing prepared for an ensuite bathroom.

Also off the hallway you gain access to the 2nd bedroom (22 m2). This bedroom has views overlooking the moat and fields and has a fireplace suitable for a wood burner.

As well as pasture land surrounding the property there are two orchards with various cherry plum apple pear hazelnuts figs olive trees. Near the house there is a very large barn with access via the courtyard and access via the outside to the lane. Across the other side of the courtyard there is a small building known as the bread oven which could be a renovation project otherwise just can be a storage area. Attached to this there is a large stable block access via the lane. In the courtyard there are 5 pig huts again this makes good storage for things and then there is an open barn ideal for storing wood etc. This property features in a book called ~Chateau Manors and Logis in the Indre' because of its age and one of the only properties that still has a moat. The house is heated with thermostat electric heaters and 3 wood burners. All windows are double glazed. The property is situated approx 1hrs drive from the beautiful town of Tours and 1.10 minutes from Poitiers.
