Comfortably modernised and improved by the current owners this former residence of a famous French painter now offers luxury accommodation with original features combined with the sympathetic renovation. Along a country road with other sizeable properties on the edge of a village with a good selection of amenities in this popular area of the Orne.

The main house has large, bright entrance hall with stairs to the upper floors. The sitting room has feature fireplace and doors leading direct to the terrace with central fountain. Glazed doors lead to the double aspect dining hall with wooden fireplace. The kitchen is modern and well equipped with central island, breakfast bar and wine storage area with double aspect views over the courtyard, garden and countryside. A practical utility/laundry room is next to the kitchen with 2nd staircase to the upper floors. An office and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

On the first floor we have a large mezzanine/upper hall area, master bedroom with en-suite shower room, 4 further bedrooms (one with en-suite facilities) and a large family bathroom (Jacuzzi bath and hydro massage shower). The upper floor has another two bedrooms, one with recently refurbished en-suite bathroom.

This lovely home sits on nearly an acre of mature park with terraces, decked areas and water features. There is a large sun deck with summer house and splash pool overlooking a two tier garden pond with waterfall and lawn. Within the grounds is a second house currently used as a gym, games room and two store rooms (a possible guest lodge if needed). There is also a sizeable garage (4 cars) with ample parking on the large entrance driveway.
