Located in the village of Anché, less than 10 minutes from Chinon, a charming medieval town, this tastefully renovated former barn offers 230 m2 of living space on a plot of 3500 m2, mostly enclosed by tuffeau stone walls.

The majestic wrought iron gate, a unique piece initially intended for a castle, reveals the house with multiple possibilities, as a family home, a guesthouse project, or holiday rentals, thanks to the available built area and the additional access through the north gate.

The main entrance leads to the kitchen, a 28 m² fully equipped living space in a countryside style that perfectly matches the spirit of the house. The master suite with its original bathroom, featuring a sunken bathtub, invites relaxation. The kitchen leads to a large transversal office providing access to a laundry room and the second ground floor bedroom, also with its private bathroom and an additional room used as a dressing area.

The centerpiece of the house, the 76m² living room, flooded with light, leaves no one indifferent. A blend of tuffeau stone, wood, metal, and travertine, where custom-made features and originality are trademarks. The cathedral roof with its 9.80 m ridge height allowed the creation of a large wooden mezzanine that could easily accommodate two to three additional bedrooms and a bathroom. A small remnant of the building’s history, part of an old cider press, has even been preserved.

Although the house is equipped with an Air/Air heat pump system, the lined chimney flue could easily accommodate a wood stove or even a double-sided insert communicating with the kitchen, allowing one to enjoy the warmth of the flames.

Finally, adjoining the house, a large cellar with an attic could be converted into an annex housing of about 70m², not to mention the immense 80m² attic space, whose height would allow the creation of a superb duplex accessible from the outside. A workshop and a garage, accessible via a large carport capable of accommodating three cars, complete the ensemble.

The tree-lined garden with a pergola promises beautiful summer evenings!

The property is located 50 minutes from Tours and 40 minutes from Saumur. All amenities are available in Chinon, and it’s approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes from Paris (TGV+car).
