Stone-Built Country House, Landivy, Mayenne

Property Description

This impressive family home, with views of the Mayenne countryside, offers over 200m² of habitable space and 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. With nearly 0.75 acre of land and outbuildings ripe for development, this is a property worth looking at. 

Approached via a country road, on the outskirts of Landivy, the property is South-facing surrounded by mature gardens mostly lawn with established borders and a variety of fruit trees. Traditional paving provides a perfect barbecue area in front of the house, the garden is fenced and access is via a gravelled drive with electric gates. There are 360° views of the countryside and no near neighbours yet the village centre is less than 1km away.

The house is constructed with traditional local stone and has a slate roof. The largest outbuilding is also built from stone and has electricity, lighting and a chimney with wood-burner fitted. Subject to the necessary planning consents, this would make an ideal gîte.

The ground floor of the main house is spacious and airy, offering lots of living space: entrance hall, conservatory, WC, fully fitted and equipped kitchen, dining room, 34m² living room and a guest bedroom with en-suite shower room. 

On the first floor, there are a further 4 bedrooms, a dressing room/guestroom, a family bathroom, a large landing with storage as well as a WC and a shower room. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating throughout and radiators are installed in all the first floor rooms. The heating system is powered by a dual gas and aerothermic system; the gas storage tank is underground.

Landivy is a thriving village in North West Mayenne, an easy drive to the cross-channel ports of Saint-Malo, Caen, Cherbourg, etc. It has over 1,150 inhabitants and a wide variety of shops and facilities: bar, hairdressers, grocery shop, bakeries, pharmacy, primary school, secondary school, bank, sports hall, etc. 14km away is the busy market town of Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët where there is a large traditional market every Wednesday as well as many more shops, restaurants and leisure activities.

This imposing property offering extensive accommodation and many original features would make a wonderful family home but, with all that space, why not open up a B&B with the possibility of renovating the outbuildings and transform them in self-catering accommodation.
