An Idyllic Setting on the Banks of the River Mayenne, Saint-Jean-Sur-Mayenne, Mayenne

Property Description

Situated in an idyllic spot down a quiet lane by the banks of the River Mayenne, this beautiful 3 bed main house and 3 bed gite are the perfect spot to enjoy the quiet beauty of the countryside, yet, central Paris is just 1hr 20mins away via TGV.





Large, light living rooms are great feature of this property - there’s even room for a grand piano! The property used to be a restaurant so there is a large and well equipped kitchen and utility room as well as a wine cellar and a large terrace that is literally made for enjoying large gatherings dining alfresco.

Gîte - Single storey





The gite has both independent external access, as well as access from the main house, so could be configured in a variety of ways depending on the requirements of the new owners.





The gite has a sitting room and a modern kitchen that opens directly onto its’ own terrace in the garden.  The three ground-floor bedrooms all have ensuite bathrooms.





The gardens behind the house slope gently up to the edge of some woodland, whilst in the front of the house, a quiet road passes between the house and the garden that slopes down to the river tow path.  There is also a garage for under cover parking.





The house has double-glazing and oil-central heating.





The property is 12km from the centre of Laval, a beautiful riverside old town with half-timbered buildings and all the amenities you might need - plenty of shops, restaurants and cafés.  There is also a TGV station where the trains whisk you into central Paris in 1hr 20mins.  The car ferry port at St Malo is 150km (1hr 40mins) and Rennes airport is under an hour away.
