Description Anglais: DETACHED HOUSE IN PRETTY VILLAGE
NEAR ARGENTON SUR CREUSE
98,950 euros
Detached double-fronted house in pretty village in the Indre, only minutes from the river Creuse, with its picturesque swimming areas, and the attractive riverside market town of Argenton-sur-Creuse.
The property is an ideal, low-maintenance holiday home with attractive shutters on all windows and a small garden/courtyard at the front and side, behind entry gates and fencing... definitely “lock up and leave”.
It is set well back from the road, so no traffic noise. All you have to do is move in...

VILLAGE AMENITIES:
The village bakery (artisan) is just across the road and the bar a few hundred metres away. There is a small fruit/veg/cheese market on Fridays
At the side of the house is a gate leading to a small park (not part of the house), which gives the benefit of a “garden” you don’t have to maintain!
There is a back road along which you can walk down the hill to the river, where the village has its own private swimming area.
NEARBY ATTRACTIONS:
Excellent choice of several restaurants within 2-10 minutes’ drive
Supermarket (5 mins)
Argenton-sur-Creuse (8 mins). An attractive market town on the Creuse river, its mediaeval houses on the river earning it the title “the Venice of the Berry region”
Gargilesse (20 mins) “one of the most beautiful villages in all France” Swimming/watersports lake (30 mins)
TRANSPORT:
House is about 6 hours’ drive from Channel ports, mostly motorway all the way, until the final 10 minutes, and about 60 minutes from Limoges or Poitiers airports, both served by budget airlines. Paris is about two hours by train from Argenton-sur-Creuse.
