A rural south-facing farmhouse with a lake and land of approximately 7000m² bordered by a stream. This pretty property is approached along a small country lane that is shared with the neighbour. The farmhouse is not overlooked, with the neighbouring property being across the private courtyard and having no openings towards the property. The various outbuildings, many of which are stone, have huge potential for converting into living accommodation, subject to planning consent.

The farmhouse is approached by a long country lane which serves this and the neighbouring property. To the side of the lane, in a farmer's field is an ancient dolmen or megalithic tomb, with various upright stones and capstone, thought to date back to the early Neolithic period. The lane is flanked by fields and the surrounding Mayenne countryside, giving this property a truly rural feel, even though it is only a few kilometres from the thriving and lively market town of Ernée.

The lane approaches the front of the house and gives onto a private courtyard with ample parking and turning space for large vehicles, if required. The property opposite backs onto the the courtyard, however does not overlook the farmhouse at all. The farmhouse provides a small garden to the front with a well, and a partly walled vegetable garden to the front and side. There is a small stone outbuilding, ideal for using as a small workshop or garden store.

The small front garden leads to the front door which opens onto the kitchen, with exposed beams and open fireplace. There is a window facing the courtyard with porcelain sink underneath. The kitchen is open plan with the living room and the entire room measures 34m². The living room area also offers a window to the south. The living area gives onto a further room (12m²) again offering a south-facing window. The kitchen gives onto the bedroom (10.5m²) with south-facing window which in turn offers onto the bathroom (3m²) with WC, hand wash basin and bath, with window overlooking the lake and land.

The property is in urgent need of a new roof, with the rear portion of the roof being covered with a tarpaulin. The house has been recently inhabited and with a new roof would be structurally sound, however will require renovating throughout. The barn attached to the house has a room on the ground floor (27m²) with a first floor which could be converted to living accommodation along with a first floor above the existing accommodation. A further single storey large stone barn is attached to the first barn with a wood shed completely the building. A further wooden framed hangar with wooden sides provides further space.

The property sits on an elevated position with the land to the rear dropping down towards the lake, with the meandering stream forming a border for the land. Beyond the lake is ideal grazing land or as a garden with views of farmland and trees.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a property in a peaceful environment at a good price.
