Unique, Spacious, Period Country Property

Property Description

A rare opportunity to acquire
A UNIQUE SPACIOUS PERIOD COUNTRY PROPERTY

This property has been sympathetically restored and decorated and boasts many interesting and original features such as marble fireplaces, oak floors, exposed beams, plaster decorations and metalwork.As they form an integral part of the house,crystal chandeliers, large mirrors, period furniture, art objects and framed copies of old master paintings are offered as part of the sale.

This large family home would be an ideal retreat for an artist, crafts person or writer.
Two separate staircases and entrances would allow easy division into two residences or perhaps an upmarket Bed and Breakfast.

This beautiful property, set in 5 acres of the quiet Mayenne countryside, has large enclosed gardens with mature trees and shrubs, flower beds and a summer house.
There is also a well established organic potager with garden shed and new poly tunnel, offering potential for self sufficiency.

In addition there is a large outbuilding providing a garage with room for two cars, mowers and wood storage for the wood burning stove in the kitchen.
Nine of the principal rooms in the house have radiators and a cellar houses the boiler for the oil fired central heating system.
Although this property has been restored and is in good decorative condition there is still scope for further development.For example,a large attic space could provide additional bedrooms and what is now a dressing room could become an additional bathroom.

Two orchards and fields, are, at the present time, rented to a french neighbour who is also a tenant.This tenancy provides a monthly income and the old French couple who live in it are very kind and helpful.There is, therefore, always a guardian presence at the property.
The tenanted cottage has 3 principal rooms, a garage, numerous outbuilding, a barn and an additional two roomed cottage.

The small market town of Gorron is a ten minute drive away; the larger towns of Fougeres and Mayenne are both a 25 minute drive. It takes less then 2 hours to drive to the ferry port at Caen.
