A short distance outside of the popular tourist market town of Montoire sur Loir this imposing family residence has been used as a restaurant and more recently a 'chambre d'hotes' providing an additional income for the current owners and making use of the 8 bedrooms this home has.

Raised above the road level with a large terrace enjoying views over the river and beyond this property dates back to 1850, constructed of the local 'tuffeau' stone and garnished with traditional Loire Valley pale blue shutters its south facing aspect profits the maximum from the long summers we enjoy here. The formal entrance hall with black and white tiled floor and sweeping staircase is typical of the era. The kitchen has been modernised and now enjoys a large picture window to the rear courtyard, high ceilings as well as a breakfast area. The main lounge is double aspect with feature fireplace and the downstairs bedroom (or 2nd lounge) has its own private shower room.

The 1st floor has 4 double bedrooms all with those lovely south views over the river, there's 2 bathrooms and an attic area which could be finished to provide another bedroom if needed.

The 2nd floor has 3 further bedrooms and a large games room again all with south facing views. The house has oil fired central heating and is on mains drainage.

Outside to the rear is a charming courtyard area with direct access to a number of 'caves' used for wine, BBQ, storage, etc. etc. There's a veggie patch, separate workshop, raised walkway and a large front terrace with trees and gated front entrance. Next to the river there's approximately 400m2 of private land with a couple of natural springs and a pontoon.

A super location for a family home with the possibility of paying guests. A short drive into a choice of market towns and about 20mins from Vendome with direct TGV access into Paris.
