Railway Cottage

This charming "Railway cottage" enjoys lovely views over sunflower fields in the summer months and is in a great location on a popular cycle path (the former railway line). A short distance (direct cycle route) from the local market town of Le Lude with a wide choice of restaurants and amenities as well as a comfortable drive into La Fleche or further afield to Le Mans, Angers or Tours. It has been owned and enjoyed by the current English owners for over 11 years as both a holiday and permanent home. It is now offered for sale at a realistic market price and is an ideal investment holiday or permanent home in this popular part of the Loire Valley. The spacious double glazed south facing (with full opening sliding panels) conservatory provides an "extra room" useable throughout the year with lovely views. The "stable doors" lead you into the good sized equipped kitchen with breakfast table. The bathroom, wc and utility room are to the rear of the property and a step down into the ground floor double bedroom with glazed patio doors to the garden (bedroom, study, TV room or other are all possible) and loft space above (possible child's bedroom - needs finishing). The double aspect lounge enjoys southerly views and is light and airy with a wood burning stove as a feature to compliment the full gas central heating throughout the home. Wooden stairs from the lounge lead to the 1st floor. 1st floor: Here you'll discover a large mezzanine area that can be used as either another bedroom, play area, etc. etc. and then we have the upstairs main bedroom another light and airy room with fitted wardrobes. The whole property of a little over 1/4 acre (1100m2) is gated and enclosed. There's a small wine cellar under the house, a long garage (1+ car) with plenty of off-street parking, a mixture of fruit trees, an ornamental pond, a well, large vegetable patch (easy to return this to lawn if required), a garden shed and poly tunnel (easy to remove if not required). The location is quiet with a few houses and a couple of farms in the immediate vicinity (no immediate neighbours) and the cycle path running just outside. A lovely property in a super setting priced to sell. (reference: NLEN001857)
