Property Description

With frontage to a river containing trout and carp, this impressive 7-bedroom château, has obvious potential to become a B&B or simply a very gracious main home. It has gardens of just under 3 acres and several useful outbuildings, including a gatehouse, dairy, wine store, art studio, workshop and gym.
The nearest shops are 5 minutes’ drive.


This glorious residence, with a warm and welcoming feel, was built in the 18th Century and is ready to move into right away.  It has been sympathetically renovated with exposed stone walls and beams and bright, generously proportioned accommodation with high ceilings.   The kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted with modern units and has a large walk-in pantry.  The accommodation is arranged in such a way that it lends itself to use as a B&B.  Outside, the grounds are in excellent condition and include a walled vegetable garden, bread oven and barbecue area and a seating area with a Pergola.  The outbuildings are also well maintained and would be suitable for conversion into gîtes, subject to Planning.  Renovation of the old Coach House has been started. 


The property is conveniently situated within a 5 minute drive of Ambrières-les-Vallées and 10 minutes from the major town of Mayenne. Both towns are pretty with the River Mayenne flowing through them and offer all amenities, including schools, bars, restaurants, shops and doctors’ surgeries. The ferry ports of Caen and Saint-Malo are about equidistant and approximately 2 hours’ drive.
