This lovely 16c Renaissance Manoir has architectural links with the cathedral in Tours and has been used as a 3 star restaurant, a high class B&B as well as a family home over the years. In an excellent quiet location with direct access to all amenities of the local market town this period home enjoys also a large garden, pool and tennis court. With some TLC and limited investment this property could easily be used as a profitable family home in this popular tourist area of the Loire Valley.

The 6 bedroom (all with en-suite marble bathrooms) manoir is spread over the 3 floors with the front facing upper rooms enjoying superb views over the grounds to the fields beyond (the view from the tower room is fantastic). The ground floor level provides a number of reception rooms including the troglodyte bar, dining hall and reception hall. The ceilings are high with exposed beams and tiled floors and virtually every room has a feature fireplace and leaded glass windows. Under-floor mains gas central heating was added by the previous owners.

In addition to the manoir the outbuilding has been converted to provide another 4 bedrooms with e-nsuite facilities including one with wheelchair access. The property has a pool (5x12m) with it's large terrace and bar and under terrace changing area with pump room etc. There's also has a separate laundry/shower room, a charming lavoir with natural source and moat, orchard, formal walled garden and woodland and various troglodyte rooms.

Ideally located on the edge of Chateau-du-Loir (limit of departments 72 and 37), Le Mans and/or Tours are a little over 30 mins away and the autoroute access (A28) an easy 5 mins drive arriving in Paris or Caen in about 2h30. The local train station has a regular service to Tours and Le Mans and then Paris by TGV in 50mins. In the heart of the Le Loir Valley with easy access to La Loire you are spoilt for things to do and see; chateaux, opera, lakes, forests, etc. etc.

A beautiful period property in good order - some time and tidying up needed but structurally sound. A great opportunity for an investment in this unique period home.
