Ref.4453 : Authentic middle-class residence in the Indre valley Châteauroux is a crossroads between northern France and Aquitaine, between the large cereal-growing plains of the Champagne Berrichonne and the wooded areas of the Boischaut. The Indre prefecture owes its name to Raoul le Large, Prince of Déols. To cope with the insecurity of the times, between Hungarian raids and Viking incursions, he had a fortress built at the beginning of the 12th century on a hill overlooking the Indre, soon to be known as Château Raoul. At the foot of its ramparts, a town grew up according to a well-established social geography. Merchants and burghers settled on the hillside, while tanners and other fire craftsmen occupied the lower slopes. The property, overlooking the Indre valley, is located in this historic area of the upper town, where private mansions and town houses are concentrated. This part of the town is at the heart of Châteauroux Métropole's Cœur de Ville programme. An offshoot of the national plan of the same name, Cœur de Ville aims to develop tourism in the centre of Châteauroux by enhancing the character of the town's residences and installing hotel and restaurant facilities. Boasting the ‘discreet charm of the bourgeoisie’, the house opens onto an alleyway in historic Châteauroux. On the ground floor, the entrance hall, with its black and white chequered floor tiles, is at the crossroads of the different areas of the house. Straight ahead, a staircase provides access to the private area upstairs. On the right, the professional area opens with a pocket lounge, formerly a waiting room. In line with this, a room with its own private bathroom was once a consulting room. The double arch separating it from the small lounge and bathroom, decorated with angel musicians, could be opened up and enhanced. On the left, the reception area begins with a vast lounge decorated in the neo-classical style typical of the early 19th century. Under high ceilings, the room is adorned with panelling imitating antique columns and a fireplace with a superb overmantel with candelabras and bronze motifs. A double glazed door then leads to the bright dining room. This was added to the building at the beginning of the last century and covered by a terrace overlooking the Indre valley, which we'll talk about later. This addition is in keeping with the style, with wood panelling, trumeau and painted decor featuring pastoral scenes. The dining room leads to the last room on this first level, a large veranda that can be used as a winter lounge or a tropical garden. Beyond this, a pantry used as a kitchen completes the ground floor rooms. From the pantry, a trapdoor leads down to the vaulted cellar. Here you will find the gas boiler, a woodshed and storage space for the wine. On the first floor, a vast landing once again serves as a space separating the various rooms. To the left is a boudoir for private family gatherings. Like most of the rooms, it is adorned with a fireplace surmounted by a beautiful painted overmantel with a neoclassical motif. It is followed by a bedroom, the size of which makes it suitable for a child. On the right, after two steps, a private flat comprises a large bedroom with access to the terrace, bathroom, dressing area with WC, and a charming little study. In the bathroom, a door leads to a spiral staircase. This leads up to the garage, the parental flat and two good-sized attic bedrooms. Finally, the main staircase provides access to a vast attic space that could be converted. The house has an outbuilding that is essential for comfortable city-centre living : a garage with space for a large car and a smaller one, or a motorbike. The garage crosses between the street and the terrace garden. In the garden, there is a kiosk for storage and some small roofs (former dovecote, former kennel) that need to be removed. The house has a fairly large garden, given its location, on two levels. The first, approximately 210 sqm, is an unoverlooked terrace overlooking the Indre valley and the roofs of the lower town. Below this, a second terrace of around 220 sqm was once an orchard. This original layout is currently a blank page on which the future buyer's imagination can run wild.
