Heritage Farmhouse, Outbuildings and 12 Acres of Land

Property Description

This glorious farmhouse dating back to XVIth century has been curated by the same family for many years and is a tribute to the love and pride tastefully lavished upon it. The lovely old stonework nestles in its informal garden setting surrounded by historic outbuildings and two hectares of orchard, the whole surrounded by a further 3 hectares of arable land and pasture. Inside there is a galleried main living room with mezzanine, a wonderful living kitchen (41m²) with a stone corbelled fireplace, a showpiece of a master bedroom suite (41m²) with two double bed alcoves and en-suite, a further bedroom, 2 further rooms containing beds, a family bathroom with two basins and a separate WC and attic space above. Monumental stonework and oak beams support the features and a superb patina enhances the quality of the whole structure. Outside the old bake house contains a large bread oven, complete with a wooden dough trough you could bathe in, and all the tools the baker would need to feed a medium sized village. A beautifully original stone and timber framed barn, originally a milking parlour, supports wisteria as it grows across to the pigeon loft. To the rear of the main house are terraces and covered areas for enjoying the outdoor life, a prolific vegetable garden and a 500m² barn. Another old stone building contains the old cider barrels fed from the stone cider apple press which, for once, is not just decorative, plus a three floor old house to renovate. The 5 acres of orchard contain 10 different apple varieties and many other fruit trees. 7.4 acres of lush paddock, (with 2 wells) surround generations of farm building that bear testament to the history of this working dairy farm. There is so much potential here for a showpiece equestrian or rare breeds farm, this absolute gem is waiting for the next person to pick it up and gently polish it once more. Located in a gently undulating North Mayenne landscape it is 9 miles from the nearest town and supermarkets, but only 78 miles from the Channel Ferry.
Further land and working buildings are available to purchase, increasing the farm to 51 acres or 123 acres, details on request.
