Steeped in history, this 4 bedroom riverside house is a real gem just a short walk from the heart of Saumur.

This charming former merchant's house dates back to the early 18th century and beautifully shows off authentic materials and features ~ wood panelling, beams, tommette tiles, cast iron radiators. Each space has been creatively styled with heritage tones sympathetic to the fabric of the building and playful nods to various periods in history. The property offers wonderful views over the Loire quay-side and the historic buildings beyond.

The delightful master bedroom on the first floor has a dedicated bathroom which can also be access from the landing. Two light bedrooms on the second floor share a shower room.
