Old dovecote rehabilitated into a charming house

Located in the very pretty village of Ferrière-sur-Beaulieu, this completely atypical house offers 86 sqm of living space on a plot of 890 sqm.

The rehabilitation of this former dovecote into a home is a model of respect for the authenticity of the place.

A small exterior staircase provides access to a large kitchen-dining room. Circular tufa stone walls add charm and character, complemented by a cozy mass heater. Upstairs, a large circular bedroom is complemented by an adjoining open bathroom. This space can also be repurposed into a cozy living room. The bright ground floor, accessible by a few steps in the kitchen, accommodates an extending glass roof equipped with a pellet stove, as well as a bedroom with adjoining bathroom. Accessible from the bedroom by a miller’s ladder, a small office in the attic.

The dovecote is accompanied by a small barn and a superb cellar to meet storage needs. The pretty garden that surrounds it creates a peaceful setting with a south-facing terrace to enjoy sunny days. Add a wooden storage shed and this property offers a harmonious balance between rustic charm and modern design. A building permit has been accepted for a planned extension. The frames are made of metal frames with double glazing and the sanitation is mains drainage.

This rare property with a unique atmosphere is a few minutes from the center of Loches and 40 minutes from Tours and its TGV station.
