Beautiful Period Property in Tourist Village

Property Description

This splendid Maison de Maître with 220m² of accommodation over 4 storeys was built for the architect of the famous Basilica in Pontmain, NW Mayenne. Down a side road, close to the centre of the village, stone steps lead up to the impressive entrance doors with stained glass windows. A large and airy hallway gives access to a study, a large reception room and a kitchen. There is a door to the basement and another to the garden at the rear of the house. The stunning oak staircase (with wrought-iron detail) takes you to the first floor, where you will find 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The staircase continues to the second floor with a further 90m² of habitable space ready to be used as a games room or converted in to further accommodation. The basement was formerly a doctor’s surgery and waiting room but could easily be used as a workshop or transformed into a self-contained apartment, subject to the necessary permissions. The private, south-facing garden is mostly laid to lawn and surrounded by a high hedge. Within the garden is a charming, 2-storey cottage with interesting features such as an arched doorway and a vaulted roof, to renovate.
Pontmain is a small village in Mayenne with over 860 inhabitants. Famous for its impressive Basilica built in the 1900s, a popular place of pilgrimage, it attracts annually around 200,000 visitors from all over the world. Consequently, it benefits from more commerce than most villages this size: bakery, grocery shop, restaurant, bar, café, hotels, garden centre, butchers, hairdressers, garage and several gift shops. The historic town of Fougères is 17km away with its traditional weekly market, supermarkets, restaurants, multiplex cinema and lots of other attractions. The ancient forest of Fougères covers over 1.600 hectares within which you can discover a man-made swimming lake, equestrian centre, Neolithic monuments and extensive hiking/cycling routes.
A unique property, beautifully maintained, oozing charm and grandeur. Well worth a visit!
