Ref.4188 : CHARMING FRENCH HOUSE FOR SALE OVERLOOKING A VILLAGE AT THE GATES OF BOURGES - CENTRE OF FRANCE
In Haut Berry, in the Centre Val de Loire region of France, this charming building rises up from the hillside, dominating the village in front of it.
Situated at the crossroads of three natural regions: Pays Fort, Champagne Berrichonne and Sologne, this small natural region benefits from the harmony of a diverse landscape combining ponds, vast forests, bocage and farmland. It's also the start of the wine route, with renowned appellations such as AOC Menetou Salon and Sancerre, and the gastronomic AOP Chavignol.
The main shops and services are within easy reach on foot or by bike. Bourges, only a few kilometers away, extends its urban area to the commune, which enjoys all the advantages of proximity to a major metropolis, while retaining the calm and authenticity of a country village.
Erected in a dominant position in rendered stone under slate, the main building is oriented East/West and comprises a central body flanked, on its North side, by a quadriform tower with exposed tufa stone chainwork.
A beautiful horseshoe-shaped external stone staircase, guarding the entrance to the cellars, embraces the east facade and gives it a more elaborate dimension.
The house offers around 330sqm of living space, distributed as follows:
First floor: in the tower: double-exposed entrance hall with cabochon paving and staircase, leading to a kitchen and scullery to the north, and a living room with fireplace.
In the central body, a second double-exposed entrance leads north to a dining room, bathroom and separate toilet. To the south, a lounge and study.
Second floor: in the tower: a landing leading to 2 bedrooms, one with bathroom and the other with toilet.
In the central section: a landing leading to 3 bedrooms, one with bathroom and one with toilet. Clearance and separate toilet.
Second floor: 3 bedrooms in the tower and an attic in the central section.
Basement under the central section includes a beautiful vaulted cellar and boiler room.
The outbuildings are situated to the west, below the house, and complete the walled part of the enclosure, creating a very special sense of privacy.
They comprise
A former caretaker's cottage, awaiting renovation,
Various storage rooms,
Garages,
Former farm buildings. 
The grounds around the house are pleasantly sloping. Covering an area of approximately 2.96 acres (1.20 hectares), it is partly enclosed by walls or wire fencing, and lined with a green belt that acts as a screen from the surrounding neighbourhood, giving the whole property a feeling of pure tranquillity. There are a number of beautiful mature trees and winding paths throughout the grounds.
The property is now listed in the local town planning scheme, which allows for certain developments subject to compliance with existing town planning regulations and any future amendments, thereby enhancing the potential of the land.
This property will appeal to those wishing to enjoy the benefits of the countryside without being too far from amenities.
