Impressive Countryside Family Home Set..

* Centrally located within its 6 hectares
* Very private ad quiet

Rebuilt from virtually the foundations upwards this beautiful family home has been enjoyed and loved by the current owners for many years. However the time has come to move on and we are pleased to be able to market this charming residence. Enormous attention to detail is the testament to the owner's respect and passion for their restoration of this longere style home.

Located centrally in it's 6 hectares (approx 15 acres) plot this property is at the end of a rural lane with no passing traffic and very quiet and private. We have a more detailed description available should you wish - please just ask, the main points are as follows:

Ground floor: Entrance porch with Queen Anne styled windows, entrance hall with German Kachelofen wood burner, oak floors and beamed ceiling, lobby, lounge with oak floor, beamed ceiling and open fireplace, kitchen fully fitted and equipped, 'round house' dining room with 'pot belly' wood burner, conservatory/summer dining room, rear lobby, office, storeroom, utility room, cellar and wc.

1st floor part 1: landing, master bedroom (3.4m x 4.4m) with en-suite bathroom (bath, shower, wash basin and wc) access to 'round house' room/study, bedroom 2 (3.3m x 4.1m) with en-suite (bath, shower, wash basin and wc), bedroom 3 (3.6m x 5.1m) with en-suite (bath, shower, wash basin and wc).

1st floor part 2: landing, bedroom 4 (4m x 4.2m), bedroom 5 (3.5m x 2.4m) and bathroom (bath, shower, wash basin and wc).

Outside: Gated entrance with hedge and tree lined driveway leading to graveled forecourt with turning circle, terraced plunge pool, detached 2 storey double garage, established vegetable garden and shed, raised grass terrace (possible tennis court location), 6 hectares of private grounds with a maintained boundary walk. The land is divided into a number of paddocks and prairies with an informal agreement with the local farmer to cut and collect the hay (no contract nor prejudice), the land is a mix of gently sloping and flat and would work well for horses, ponies or other animals.

Location: Private, quiet, rural location with no immediate neighbours, the local village (school, bar, post office) is a short 5 minute drive away (or cycle ride if you prefer) and 10 minutes sees you in the nearby market town with hypermarkets, colleges, railway station and Saturday market. Le Mans and Tours are roughly 40 minutes away and the autoroute junction with easy access to Paris and the Altantic coast is 10 minutes away.

Our opinion: A well presented property, beautifully finished family home offering plenty of space for growing children or visiting relatives and/or guests, ideal for a family or couple looking for a sizeable but manageable home with enough land for horses or ponies (or other animals). With the separate access to the two parts of the 1st floor and the possibility of creating useable rooms above the garage this could also be used as a B&B in this very popular tourist area of France (Loire Valley, Le Mans, etc. etc.).
