A beautiful farmhouse, lovingly restored but having kept some of the original features and from the South facing terrace you can look down over two well stocked small lakes towards the forest of the Charnie listening to a multitude of local wildlife. There is also an integral garage for two cars and a large barn with workshop (room for 4 cars) and all set in 2 acres.
Less than 2.5 hours south of the port of Caen, 3 hours from Le Havre and just over 4 hours from Calais and euro tunnel.
First built in 1886 the stone farmhouse has a large 50 sq metre lounge with superb wood burner, spacious kitchen with quality units, large gas hob, fitted microwave, oven and dishwasher. There is also a separate rear kitchen with Washing machine and tumble dryer, and a separate WC.
Downstairs there is also a snug, with original bread oven, which has great field and forest views, a beautiful dining room (can seat 10+) and a store room (cave) with water purification system, 2-3 person hot stone sauna and lots of cupboard space.
Upstairs via a stylish hardwood staircase there are 4 large bedrooms, 2 with quality en-suite bathrooms and a further 3rd spacious bathroom, a dressing room (possible 5th bedroom), small office and spacious corridor with exposed oak beams and quality Oak doors throughout.
The corridor is light and airy and has feature windows into the dining area and the corridor and most bedrooms are carpeted.
Outside there are fruit trees to the rear, outbuildings suitable to be converted into a small gîte (with option of separate driveway), pathway leading to two small lakes (one with fish) with source from a natural spring, lovely summerhouse with views to surrounding fields and forest.
There is a very large barn with a beautiful oak beam roof. It is attached to the house and has an enclosed workshop (6 metres by 9 metres) with a small sink, lots of work bench space with cupboards, an inspection pit and space for 3 cars . There is also further space at the front end of the barn which has large sliding doors. The barn is approximately 6 metres by 16 metres in total.
Between the house and the barn is an open garage which is approximately 6 metres by 7 metres. It also has a store room to one side which is accessible from an entrance to the kitchen via a 'boot room', ideal for bikes and tools or a small workshop.
The house is in lovely condition, with a homely feel, many tasteful features and offers a cool feeling in summer and cosy atmosphere in winter.
Lots of local wildlife including kestrels, owls, moor hens and often deer in the adjoining fields.
It is a peaceful and relaxing space with local village just a few minutes away for boulangerie, shop and bar. It is also just over 30 minutes to Le Mans and less than 15 minutes to two towns with bars, restaurants and supermarkets etc.
It has been used for occasional B&B with website available and can be sold furnished if required. Set in 2 acres of land with trees and hedge borders, the whole site is not overlooked and very private. It also comes with a British tractor and grass cutter!
