Main Description
This stone house is set in 1.84 acres of land and comes with several stables, a barn and a well. The house comprises a living room with a fireplace and bread oven, a lounge, a kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a wc. The garden is planted with fruit trees and comes with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. The property is 15 minutes from La Chatre, a charming village in the Indre department of the Centre region of France. The village itself dates back to at least the 11th century with local Cistercian monks contributing to the beginnings of industry in the village by building windmills. The chateau, a focal point of the village for centuries, was constructed in 1424 and still stands today as a popular museum. The first major development of the village occurred in the 15th century when, after the 100-years war, large areas of housing were created to house the growing population. Industrially, La Chatre is known for its contribution to the leather industry. In the 1960s, there was a new wave of construction, seeing houses spring up in the dilapidated old part of the village. There is a weekly market on Saturdays, supplying a wealth of local produce. There is a swimming pool complex as well as the more sedate pleasures of museums, cinemas and the theatre. Should all be too much for you, you can relax in a café sipping “Kir Berrichone”, a speciality of the region (crème de cassis with red wine). In terms of transport, the closest railway stations are Chateauroux (36km away) and Argenton-sur-Creuse (39km away). The closest airport is Chateauroux-Centre, 39km away.
