Walled Garden Cottage and Barn Range to Renovate

Property Description

This old stone cottage and barn range set into one wall of its walled garden is situated in gently rolling countryside and boasts a rectangular plot of 0.45 acre. Access is via a quiet country lane that serves local farms and runs outside the East wall of the garden. Outside the South wall is a long established orchard whilst behind the West wall there are access drives and private gardens. Behind those gardens are the old houses the walled garden originally belonged to. To the North side there is a double gateway access and the 2 storey stone cottage/barn range followed by an intact, large stone bread oven.
The cottage/barn range is 2 ½ storeys high, but faces onto a sunken lane to the North therefore, from the garden, which is to the South, it appears to only have 1 ½ storeys. Across the walled garden from the barns is a lovely stone folly tower. Traditionally built of stone under a slate roof, the ground floor is currently all storage, accessible through 5 large doors. The bread oven is the smaller building at the West end of the range. The cottage at the East end has recent new roof and velux and provides a dry storage area which could be secured fairly easily. Floors and stairs are intact, but a complete external and internal refurbishment should be anticipated. The rest of the barns between the cottage and the bread oven will need complete renovation with roof replacement. There are no services connected currently, but electric and water are both in the lane alongside and therefore could be easily connected. Private drainage will also have to be installed. Less than 1 hour 45 minutes from the Ferries at Caen or Saint-Malo, and the airport of Rennes or Dinard, half a kilometre South of the River Mayenne. The nearest town, Lassay-les-Châteaux, is a very picturesque market town, centred on the 14th Century Castle. Lassay-les-Châteaux offers doctor, pharmacy, supermarket, DIY store and garden centre. Heavy building supplies are about 25 minutes away, at Domfront and Mayenne. Ideal project for a builder/developer looking to create their own little corner of paradise, a weekend escape or a very special pair of country holiday cottages in a beautiful setting. A great opportunity to pick up a fabulous old character property that needs completely renovation.
