Private mansion with gardenMayenne (53) Price : $266,700
Ref. 4357: 17th C. Private mansion for sale, to be restored, in the Mayenne departement
This former mansion is located in the heart of the historic town of Mayenne, on an emblematic square. With a population of 12,000 and boasting an 11th-century château, the town has been awarded the 'Pays d'art et d'histoire' label and offers a full range of shops and services (hospital, doctors, chemists, supermarkets, secondary schools, etc.). Laval (TGV and motorway) is around thirty kilometres away. The area around the town boasts beautiful rolling countryside, with the Alpes Mancelles not far away and the department's highest peak, Mont des Avaloirs. Many tourist attractions are within easy reach in Nord Mayenne, including the Notre Dame de Pontmain basilica, the village of Lassay-les-Châteaux, which has been awarded the 'Petite cité de caractère' label, and the Gallo-Roman town of Jublains.
We enter the property through a large porch located beneath a building, shielding the square from prying eyes. A small courtyard runs in front of the hotel, followed by a garden: courtyard and garden. The hotel has a U-shaped floor plan with a round turret in the inner left-hand corner, overlooking the courtyard. Most of the living rooms face north-east-south-west. The building dates from the 17th century and was remodelled in the 18th and 19th centuries. The walls are of rendered stone, covered with slate. Grey stone is used for the plinths, architraves, cornices and quoins. On the roof, two charming zinc bull's-eyes face the entrance porch. Like eyes, they gaze out at guests as they arrive. They head for the entrance door, framed by two Ionic pilasters. Pushing open the door, they discover a building of around 400 sqm comprising :
-Ground floor: the tiled entrance hall with stairway (18 sqm) leads to the right to a wood-panelled, partitioned lounge (48 sqm) and a room at right-angles, to the left to a large lounge (56 sqm) with parquet flooring and marble fireplace, and at right-angles to the kitchen, scullery and toilet.
-1st floor: 3 bedrooms with alcoves, one with a dressing room and bathroom, the other two with toilets.
-2nd floor: 3 bedrooms with washbasins, one bedroom with bathroom and a separate shower room.
Vaulted cellars under the central body of the building.
A second staircase in the turret serves the floors from top to bottom.
The hotel is complete and has all the architectural quality typical of this type of building: fireplaces, wood panelling, parquet floors, high ceilings. The reception rooms feature large windows that bathe the interiors in light. This was a place for entertaining, as you can see from the rooms...
The outbuildings include :
-The porch building through which the hotel is accessed, which is a local. This building does not overlook the hotel's inner courtyard. It has 2 rooms on the ground floor, another on the first floor and an attic; it will be available for sale;
-A pretty covered stairway with a wrought iron banister, between the hotel and the premises; a charming mantling adorns the bottom of the roof, protecting it;
-A stone garage building with a slate mansard roof, accessible from the street.
Passing through the hotel, the stoop overlooks a 130 sqm garden enclosed by high stone walls. It has an entrance leading to the lane. A few ornamental trees and an old, dishevelled greenhouse enhance the 530 sqm of grounds.
