Master of Forge House with Attached Longère (both 200m²)

Property Description

Rare on the market! This splendid 17th century house is nestled in a green and bucolic setting. It is close to the small town of character of Chailland and its grade A trout river, the river Ernée. The house offers 6 bedrooms and has recently undergone a complete and high-quality renovation, using top of the range materials. Local craftsmen have respected the old character while providing modern comfort and efficient energy consumption. An adjoining 15th century barn offers several possibilities of development: garages, outbuildings, or dwellings (with outline permission having been granted).
Access to this stunning property is by a rural lane, peacefully winding through the countryside, over the river and up to the entrance of the property and its south-facing courtyard. A walled garden of more than 0.5 acres can be found to the rear of the property and overlooks the house. From the lane, the beautifully symmetrical façade provides an entrance door that opens directly onto an open plan layout consisting of an entrance, a sitting room, a dining room, and a modern fitted and equipped kitchen. A study which could be used as a ground floor bedroom, and a WC complete this level.
The sympathetically renovated period staircase leads to the first floor where a landing serves 3 bright and spacious bedrooms, a shower room and a separate WC. All doors on the ground floor and first floor are original and, again, carefully renovated. The staircase continues to the second floor which sports a large mezzanine, 3 attic bedrooms, a bathroom, and another separate WC.
Two cellars in the basement house the condensing boiler, which runs on oil or biofuel and the water heater.
The house, as well as the outbuilding, are built of stone and covered with natural slate, which has been protected with a water repellent. The new oak windows are double glazed, with shutters and oak sills. The central heating is distributed throughout the house by beautiful cast iron radiators, new but in a vintage style. All the rooms of this historic house have impressive ceiling height and the magnificent original mouldings have been carefully recreated.
The roof and facades are listed in the ISMH (Supplementary Inventory of Historical Monuments). This rare property is located at the gates of Brittany, near this charming village with restaurants and shops. The town of Ernée is 11km away, and the city of Laval with its TGV station, is 25km away. Fibre optic is available, and the individual drainage system is new and conforms to the latest norms.
