La Cachette sur Loire

The property: Two bedroom house set against the cliff with river and château views. Probably about 100 years old. Electric central heating panels with sophisticated control box and external frost stat. Real fire.

Ground floor:

Good sized dining kitchen made by the previous owner. Functional, with double sink, 3 gas, one electric burner hob, microwave, table top oven/spit roaster, large fridge with small top freezer. Round dining table to seat 4/6.

Large salon with inset wood burning fire, two comfortable sofas, large dinning table with six chairs (will seat more), mini hi fi system, TV/Video and DVD. Telephone point. Beamed ceiling and exposed stone wall, tiled floor and neutral walls.

Pine room. This leads from the salon to the caves and ‘walk in bread oven’ (not functioning!) This is somewhat ‘rustic’ but provides cupboard storage space and the electric mains are here.

Caves. To the rear of the house are two huge caves. The first cave with walk in Prune Oven has a large store of wood and many other items. The second is the wine cave which would store approx 3000 bottles of wine if we had that much!

Upper floor:

Double Bedroom, king sized bed, bedside tables with lamps, canvas wardrobe and drawers. Exposed stone wall and tiled floor. River views.

Twin bedroom, unusual shape as one wall is cliff face. Twin beds, bedside drawers with lamps, curtain wardrobe. Double aspect with view of the river.

Shower room with large shower cubicle, basin with vanity unit and large lit mirror. Saniflow toilet and cupboard housing the hot water tank. This room is formed out of part of the cave area.

Dressing room, a small room between hall, bathroom and double bedroom. Attractive large fireplace. Dressing table and mirror. River view.

Outside rooms;

Utility room. Separate building with top loading washing machine and tumble dryer and small sink (cold water only)

Dependence. Outside building not yet fully renovated so really only useful in the summer months. (more details can be supplied, but not envisaged for use in a winter let)

Outside Area: Good sized garden on two levels with river and château views. There is a terraced area outside of the front of the house with steps leading to a sanded upper terrace (ideal for boules). Other steps lead to a larger higher garden with outdoor shed areas and lovely river views. There is a barbecue and plastic garden tables and chairs.

Surrounding Area: Conservation village on the Loire between the attractive towns of Saumur and Chinon (both less than half an hour away). The village has three bars, four restaurants and a Logis de France hotel. There is a boulangerie, butcher, Traituer (ready made salads, cooked meats, catering etc) and well equipped small supermarket (a hyper market is about 20 mins away). On Sunday mornings there is a fruit, veg, meat ,cheese and honey market in the square. Monthly there is a well known flea market.

Situated in the Loire valley, the ‘Valley of the Kings’, as well as a delightful châteaux in the village, there are so many others within easy reach they are too numerous to mention.

Ideal area for walking or cycling (there are cycles in the garage; two adult ladies, one adult male and one child)

Excellent golf course approx five miles away. Man made lake for summer swimming with fishing approx 20 mins away.

The village has a musical society and Art and Discovery society.
