Watching The Ducks, Stone House With..

5 bedroom main house
* Separate guest lodge
* Feature 1/3 acre pond
* Swimming pool
* Large outbuildings

Once through the gates and onto the sweeping graveled drive your eye is drawn immediately to the expanse of water on your right. Just over 1/3 of an acre with its own island and home to a large number of ducks this pond offers a wonderful view over from the main house and no doubt excellent fishing possibilities if that was your interest. With the house now in view, finished in the traditional warm coloured mortar mix of this region, and the guest lodge at the end we're ready to explore the inside.

Beautifully presented and with excellent attention to detail the owners have transformed this fermette into a charming family home. The large fitted kitchen has direct access to the sun terrace by the pool as well as the dining room, from here we discover the vaulted main lounge with feature fireplace and wood burner and stairs to the mezzanine area (TV lounge) all retaining those super views over the pond and beyond. Completing the ground floor we have 2 double bedrooms, a single and large family bathroom (bath and shower) as well as a laundry room and internal access to the attached 4 car garage. Upstairs are another large double and good sized single bedrooms with a shower room.

Outside the heated pool is 13.5m x 5.5m and set within its own private walled garden with a wonderful hand painted mural mimicking the pond beyond. The current owners have a free standing office suite which could be easily transformed into a self contained studio if needed. The outbuildings are large and range from a hanger, stables to dog kennels and there's also a separate guest lodge with lounge, kitchen, shower room and wc and large bedroom space above just by the pond.

The plot measures 3 hectares with half of this set out as paddocks. The property is private and not overlooked and has excellent access to amenities: 50km from Le Mans or Angers; 15km from La Fleche and 5 minutes from the autoroute junction.

An ideal family home with excellent potential for paying guests. Just remember to bring the bread for the ducks.
