Details
Les Deux Chenes is tucked away in the peaceful Anjou wine area of the south-western Loire Valley in a tiny hamlet off a local lane, surrounded by Vineyards, Farmland and Countryside. No light pollution- star gazing is wonderful.
The modern town of Doue la Fontaine (7 miles), the medieaval chateau town of Montreuil-Bellay (8 miles) and the old town of Thouars (10 miles) all have weekly markets and large supermarkets.
Saumur is 17 miles north-east, under 30 mins.
We are on the Maine et Loire/Poitou Charentes border.
The converted FARMHOUSE has a fully equipped kitchen/dining area.
Downstairs is a separate room for washing machine and a bath.
Also downstairs is an en-suite bedroom and 2 lounges, one of which could be used as a 4th bedroom with access to the bathroom with above shower and the en-suite shower room/whb/wc/ of the downstairs bedroom, via the kitchen.
Upstairs are 2 en-suite bedrooms and room for several single beds or a large double + singles; also with air-conditioning.
Heating is provided by very good quality log burners in both lounges and also gas central heating is supplied throughout the Farmhouse except in the kitchen where there is a log-burner effect electric fire.
LPG gas is piped into the Farmhouse from a large tank which is buried in the front garden.
UK TV is available via a satellite dish.
Broadband internet is available.
The developed part of the Farmhouse is the right hand end with green coloured shutters. Left of this is the Games Room. To the left of this is the other half of the Farmhouse - just a shell inside, but ripe for development
The COTTAGE has an open plan kitchen/lounge.The kitchen is fully equipped with all mod cons.
The shower room is off the lounge area.
Upstairs is a large bedroom with french doors leading out onto a raised terrace with magnificent views over completely unspoilt farmland and vineyards.
It has its own private garden area.
UK TV is available in the Cottage via a satellite dish as is a connection to the Farmhouse telephone/computer connection.
HEATING in the Cottage is electric with a gas bottle for the gas hob.
The TENNIS COURT has an acrylic surface and has an extra high wired fence surround.
The HEATED SWIMMING POOL is heated by a heat pump - keeping it warm (at least 28 degrees) even when the weather is cooler than hoped. Opening and closing dates depend on the weather although we advertise to operate it from May - September. However, we have been known to turn it on in mid-April, and usually do not turn it off until mid-October.
The GARDENS are laid mainly to lawn with mature trees in the front garden, a bank of colourful flowers and shrubs in front of the swimming pool and a small orchard behind the pool.
There is a DRIVE with a great deal of space for parking and a car port at the side of the Farmhouse.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR offers in the region of £395,000 inc.
The UNDEVELOPED HALF OF THE FARMHOUSE is ready for development with a good roof, walls and concrete floors.
The BARN would need a complete renovation project.
WE ARE WILLING TO CONSIDER SELLING THE DEVELOPED HALF OF THE FARMHOUSE WITH THE COTTAGE AND SWIMMING POOL AS A SEPARATE PROPERTY and 'free use' of the tennis court.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR OFFERS AROUND £295,000.00
