Charming stone cottage with 1.7 acres of garden and woodland in the beautiful Loir Valley

Set in around two acres of peaceful countryside, this character stone cottage enjoys a secluded setting with garden, open views and woodland rising behind. Deer, red squirrels and other wildlife are regular visitors.

Inside are three double bedrooms and a bright, open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area overlooking the garden, with additional flexible spaces and plenty of character.

In the heart of the Vallée du Loir, the property is close to vineyards and wine cellars, the Lac des Varennes at Marçon and the Forêt de Bercé, with its extensive walking and cycling trails.

Less than 4 km away, vibrant La Chartre-sur-le-Loir offers all everyday shops and services and is renowned for its antique shops and links with Classic Le Mans enthusiasts. Tours Airport is around 45 km and Caen-Ouistreham ferry port approximately 200 km.

Offering approximately 97 m² of accommodation, this traditional stone cottage has been a much-loved family holiday home for almost 20 years. Perfectly habitable as it stands, it retains a simple, rustic character with exposed beams and tiled floors, while offering scope for updating and improvement over time.

GROUND FLOOR
The heart of the house is the bright open-plan living space of around 30 m², arranged as interconnected kitchen, dining and sitting areas. Windows and glazed doors bring in plenty of natural light and look out over the garden, while a fireplace and exposed beams add character.

Also on this floor is a double bedroom overlooking the garden, a shower room/WC and a smaller through-room providing useful flexible space as a study, day room or occasional guest area.

FIRST FLOOR
The converted attic provides two further double bedrooms, with exposed roof timbers and natural light from roof and gable windows. A small snug/landing offers additional flexible living space, leading through the bathroom/WC to one of the bedrooms.

GROUNDS
The house sits within around two acres of informal garden and woodland. The more open garden immediately surrounds the property, while much of the land rises behind the house as established woodland, creating a private and natural backdrop.
There is also a cave, covered storage area and an unused well.

CONDITION AND SERVICES
The property has timber-framed double-glazed windows and doors, together with gas central heating. The boiler is operational, although radiators are not currently installed upstairs.. The energy audit is available on request. Part of the slate roof was replaced approximately five years ago.

The septic tank system is undersized and will need replacing. This, together with the scope for general updating, is reflected in the asking price, offering an appealing opportunity to acquire a character country home with garden and woodland in the Vallée du Loir.

With its peaceful setting, generous grounds and authentic character, this is a property well worth discovering. Contact us to arrange a viewing and explore its potential for yourself.
