A characterful rectory, elegantly renovated
A characterful rectory, elegantly renovated
Dating back to 1710, this former rectory has undergone a meticulous renovation that respects its history while incorporating modern comforts.
Offering approximately 231 m² of living space set within 3,900 m² of grounds, the property captivates with its unique atmosphere; period features, curated furniture, and Baroque-inspired touches combine to create an interior with a distinctive personality.
Upon entering, the ground floor reveals spacious rooms and a pleasant flow between living areas. It includes a dual-aspect living room with a fireplace, a similarly dual-aspect dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen, complemented by a scullery, a mudroom, and a laundry room.
Particular attention has been paid to the décor and furniture selection, which play a key role in the property's identity. Indeed, the rectory is available furnished, allowing its aesthetic cohesion to be fully preserved.
The flooring is a standout feature of the house. Original terracotta tiles have been retained; some have been re-stained and re-varnished to restore their depth and luster while preserving their authentic character.
Three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom facilities
The first floor opens onto a landing leading to two generously sized bedrooms. The first boasts its own shower room with a toilet. The second features a uniquely designed bathroom centered around a copper bathtub, as well as a separate toilet.
On the second floor, the landing has been converted into an office area. It leads to a third bedroom with an en-suite shower room and toilet.
A large room currently used as a dressing room completes this level and could easily be transformed into a fourth bedroom if desired.
A wine cellar located beneath the house rounds out the interior spaces. Outbuildings and garden
The property also features a large barn (over 75 m²) in good condition, which includes a dedicated area for storing garden equipment. A former rabbit hutch has been repurposed into a log store.
The garden has received the same level of care as the house. Flowerbeds, trees, white gravel paths, and various terraces define the 3,900 m² plot, creating several spots to enjoy the outdoors throughout the day.
At the rear of the property, the lack of overlooking neighbors and the open view of the adjacent meadows create a genuine sense of spaciousness. The vista towards the village church adds to the property's unique charm.
A well equipped with a pump provides water for the garden. A new gate has also been installed, designed to harmonize with the overall renovation.
A country home near Loches
Located near Loches and just 500 meters from the village center, the former rectory enjoys a setting that combines village life with tranquility.
With three bedrooms—each with its own bathroom or shower room—the potential to create a fourth, plus outbuildings and a well-tended garden, this property is equally suited as a family home or an elegant country retreat.
A place where 18th-century character has been preserved while making way for a comfortable, highly personal, contemporary renovation.
