Stunning Xviith Manor House on 5 Acres of Land

Description

Built at the turn of the XVIIth century, this stunning stone manor house offers luxurious living accommodation without losing any of the feeling of its ancient past. It is believed that there was a village here from as far back as the XIVth century when the settlement was established as a fortified outpost for the king of France. Situated in the rural Mayenne countryside, the property is surrounded by rolling pastures and is yet only 2.5km from the nearest village and commerce. It is approached down a long driveway bordered by open fields which leads into the large courtyard with a well in front of the main house. You enter the main house through the large porch which leads into the entrance hall and the rest of the ground floor living accommodation which consists of a study / library, a kitchen, a dining room, a sitting room and a shower room / utility. An original oak staircase takes you to the first floor which offers 4 well proportioned bedrooms (one to be finished), and a bathroom, all overlooking the grounds. Outside, there is an attractive south facing terrace which overlooks the gardens below, a small lake, and trout stream, an old bake house, an ancient watermill, a summerhouse and other outbuildings as well as two large fields laid to pasture. The summerhouse is open to one side and catches the last of the evening sun, overlooks the lake, and is used as a summer kitchen and dining area. The old watermill is currently an unused space with plenty of potential. There are further outbuildings attached to the main house which are presently used as storage space. There is the potential to also buy another large barn with a field of 1 acre if desired.
The house has been lovingly renovated and maintains its old world charm whist benefiting from double glazing throughout, wood burning stove, and heating powered by the oil and woodburning Aga style stove in the kitchen.
The villages of Le Ribay and Javron-les-Chapelles are both within 5km, the A28 motorway at 40km, and Laval and le Mans are 50km and 70km from the property respectively. With the numerous outbuildings providing a multitude of options for lifestyle businesses, or just a very agreeable family life or holiday home, this is an exciting opportunity to buy a unique and special property.
