Ref.4174 : RENOVATED RURAL BOURGEOIS HOUSE DATING FROM 1850, AT THE GATEWAY TO THE PERCHE REGION This elegant bourgeois house is located in the Sarthois region, at the vanguard of the Perche and its famous Nature Park, in the heart of a medium-sized town of 5000 inhabitants where all shops and services are within walking distance (hospital, doctors, pharmacies, supermarkets, schools, lycées, twice-weekly markets)... less than 450m away.
