This charming 2-bedroom cottage is a two minute walk from the main square in the medieval hilltop town of Sancerre, in the heart of the Loire Valley. The property has a terrace, its own walled garden and a private parking space. Shops, restaurants and top quality wineries are all on the doorstep!
The property has been fully renovated and all the accommodation is arranged on one level. There are two double ground floor bedrooms, bathroom, fully fitted kitchen and a living/dining area. There's a large cellar and a loft space that could, subject to necessary permissions, be converted into further accommodation.
The south-facing garden is very pretty and the gates can be closed, making it safe for children. There is a sunny terrace leading up to a lawned area where you can sit in the shade under the apple tree - the perfect spot for lunch or to enjoy a glass of locally produced wine (of which there is no shortage in Sancerre!).
