Description

This substantial 8-bedroom house situated in the picturesque medieval village of Saint-Benoît-du-Sault—one of France's officially recognized "most beautiful villages"—offers a perfect blend of historical charm and modern convenience. Nestled in the Centre region of Indre, this residence provides a mix of village tranquility and accessibility to larger towns and cities, making it ideal for a large family or someone looking to invest in a sizable property in rural France.

Upon entering this impressive property, you are greeted by a spacious front-to-back hallway adorned with historical 'tomettes' tiling and featuring a remarkable 17th-century spiral stone staircase, adding a touch of historical grandeur. The ground floor hosts a large living room with a cozy fireplace and two original built-in cupboards indicative of the home’s character. Adding to its charm is a convenient modern lift, ensuring accessibility throughout the two-story residence. The kitchen, contiguous with the dining area, is fitted with high-quality appliances including a SMEG range cooker and Bosch dishwasher.
