Ref.4141 : ELEGANT 16th CENTURY HOUSE BETWEEN ANGERS AND NANTES This elegant 16th-century town house is set in a charming little town typical of the Mauges region, not far from Cholet. Overlooking a valley with a delightful meandering stream below, the house boasts uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside. Situated between Angers and Nantes, it is within easy reach of the major cities of the west and the region's most attractive tourist attractions: Puy du Fou, Cholet golf course, châteaux, museums, festivals, etc. The Atlantic coast is a 1h30 drive away. A rich heritage of traditional old Loire villages is also available to lovers of old stone. The quality of life in the town where we are based is particularly pleasant. Schools (primary, lower and upper secondary) and a wide range of shops (markets, supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, post office, prêt-à-porter, etc.) are all within walking distance. The area also offers a wide range of cultural and sporting activities: castle and monuments, library, theatres (with high-quality annual programmes), music school, cinema, horse-racing, horse-riding, swimming pool, golf course, walks in several hectares of parkland and numerous walks in the surrounding area. This place offers a wonderful compromise between dynamism and peace of mind. Built over three floors of ashlar and rendered stone rubble under tiles, this residence spans approx. 400 sqm (4,305 sq ft) of living space and comprises a main building and a wing set at right angles to it. It has the unusual feature of being flanked by two turrets, one cylindrical under slates and the other quadrangular corbelled. Another, more imposing tower is located at the rear of the building. It is harmoniously fitted with numerous openings with tufa stone surrounds, providing beneficial light in all areas. For the past 8 years, the house has been home to a bed and breakfast business and a private practice, all in perfect harmony with family life. The house is therefore ideally suited to a wide variety of projects, both personal and professional. The rooms are arranged as follows: On the ground floor, an entrance hall leads to the right to a large kitchen with direct access to the outside. Opposite, two rooms have been converted for use as professional offices with independent access. To the left are a dining room, a study and a large lounge. There are terracotta, tiled and parquet floors, a 15th century granite fireplace, a marble mantelpiece and exposed beams. Two spiral staircases, in one of the turrets and in the tower, lead upstairs. On the first floor, a hallway leads on either side to four bedrooms, two shower rooms and a library. The floors are of old terracotta tiles or covered with a flexible covering and there are exposed beams. On the second floor, a landing gives access to two bedrooms and an attic that could be converted into two further bedrooms and a bathroom. The floors are in beautiful old terracotta tiles, some walls are rendered in stone and the roof timbers are exposed. In the basement, there are attractive, spacious cellars. There is a lean-to in the rear courtyard that could be used as a woodshed or sheltered shed. A 60sqm courtyard, completely enclosed by walls and beautifully planted, is a sort of natural open-air alcove, revealing the spirit of confidentiality that reigns here. A 30sqm rear courtyard, also enclosed by walls, extends this intimate atmosphere. The total land area is 329sqm. Cabinet LE NAIL – Maine-et-Loire - M.
