Magnificent Character Farmhouse with Barns over 1 Acre.

Description

EXCLUSIVE - This stunning character property is composed of an ancient house, probably 16th Century, with records of a property on the site dating back to 1560. The farmhouse has been beautifully renovated retaining the character and period features, whilst creating harmony with the comfort of modern, bright and spacious living accommodation. The property boasts a private driveway, courtyard, large stone barns and former bake house and bread oven. All set in landscaped gardens of over 1 acre. The property is approached off a country lane which in turns leads off a departmental road. The lane gives onto the private driveway, which leads down past the gardens and into the courtyard in front of the south-facing house. The gardens provide many specimen trees and large lawn areas, with natural plantings. The farmhouse is of traditional stone construction with walls a metre or more in depth and a traditional slate roof. The stable that is attached to the house was formerly a chapel when the property was owned by a judge of the Mayenne. Both the large closed barn and open-fronted barn are built of stone with slate roofs and are also in good condition. The former bake house with attached piggery, are stone built, mostly having slate roofs and with the end sty (in a poor condition) having a tin roof. The property provides a large open-plan multi-function room with newly installed kitchen (December 2019), vestibule, bedroom, shower room and utility room, with an unconverted attic above. There is a boiler room to the rear and an attached stable (former chapel). The current owners have put in place a small corridor leading off the vestibule with the intention of knocking through and converting this space into 2 bedrooms with bathroom (subject to the required planning consent). The property boasts period features, with original beams, thick stone walls, a stone window seat in the sitting room and original flooring. Modern conveniences are also in place, such as oil-fired central heating, mains water, electricity and broadband internet. The property has been tastefully renovated (2019) including a full rewire, new oak double glazed doors and windows throughout, new kitchen, walk-in shower and has been decorated throughout.
The property is located in the countryside, with the nearest village being the heritage village of Chailland, which in turn provides 3 restaurants, 2 bars, a grocery, post office, doctor, chemist, hairdresser and of course our agency! The market town of Ernée is also close by and easily accessible.
Altogether an incredibly beautiful property, in a superb location with only one neighbouring property. Ideal for those looking for originality and history, whilst enjoying a modern, bright living space in a stunning situation. A real must see! A unique property for history lovers!-
