Ref. 4384 : Renovated 19th C. noble farmhouse for sale
On the edge of the village with commerce and tourist activities, this charming renovated property enjoys rural views with excellent access to a choice of market towns, some with train stations linking to Le Mans and Tours and on to Paris, etc. Ideally located as a permanent or holiday home within the “golden triangle” of Le Mans, Angers and Tours with the Loire Valley a short drive away, not forgetting the annual motorsport events at Le Mans.
Originally the principal farmhouse for the neighbouring 19th C. chateau, this noble building has today been renovated and modernised to a high standard incorporating its rustic elements and period features where possible.
The ground floor starts with a formal front-to-back entrance hall with stairs to the upper floors. To the right is the main lounge, a double aspect light room covering circa 45 sqm with original open functioning stone fireplace, light coloured tiled flooring and beams above.
Continuing through the lounge onto the kitchen of 50 sqm, double aspect with doors to front and rear gardens, this family room offers plenty of space to create and dine, the wood burner has been added to the fireplace next to the original “bread oven”, exposed stone walls featuring the brickwork from the period and a glazed arched French doors to the rear all create a wonderful atmosphere to this “heart of the home”. The other side of the entrance hall is an open plan office area and wc and then onto the master bedroom (22 sqm) with tiled floors and beams and garden views, a dressing area and private shower room and wc. This room could easily be used as a second ground floor lounge if desired.
The first floor continues the style of below, with original features where possible, beams and window forms. This floor has a straight cut parquet flooring throughout except where tiled within the bathrooms and the main bedroom that retains the original quarry tiled floor. On this level there are 3 bedrooms and a games room. The single bedroom measures 10 sqm and the two doubles are 18 sqm and 29 sqm with a private bathroom for the first double and a second family bathroom across the corridor from the single room (we understand that it is possible to create a private bathroom within the larger bedroom with plumbing already in place). All the bedrooms have views over the gardens.
The attic floor is part converted providing a large 29 sqm TV/reading room with vaulted ceiling, leading to a 24 sqm bedroom with shower room (requires finishing) and finally a nearly 50 sqm room ripe for completing in whatever format the new owners require.
Beneath the whole house is an arched stone basement level with double stairs leading down either side of the stairs up to the front door.
The property has been extensively renovated by the current owners and benefits from geothermic underfloor heating on the ground floor and oil fired radiators on the upper floors, double glazed custom made windows throughout, the roof has been checked and replaced where necessary and the insulation was new at the same time. The drainage, plumbing and electricity have been upgraded from 2006 onwards.
There are over 400 sqm of outbuildings with this property offering numerous possibilities. Given its location it could lend itself well to reception halls, possibly additional accommodation, sports/fitness rooms, etc. over the two levels available. At present we have large barns (for example 69 sqm with a 8.3m high ceiling) , garaging, former stables, goat sheds, etc. etc. the exterior is in good order with the stone work façade new on part of the rear section and the roofs have been checked and repaired where required. The is also a 72 sqm metal covered hanger used as a wood store currently.
Nearly 1.5 hectares (3.5 acres) of land surround the buildings with a front entrance drive and rear to a parking area. The lawn is close cut in proximity to the house and further away is left longer and cut as hay. There’s enough space for a couple of paddocks alongside the existing orchard and plenty of space for an eventual pool if desired. The buildings are set nicely back from the lane providing privacy and security.
