Cottage with Outbuildings

Property Description

This is a lovely stone cottage with slate roof in good condition. The cottage is currently used as main living accommodation on the ground floor, with separate access to the upstairs which has been rented out as a gite in the past. There is the potential to fit in external stairs opening up the property to be one house. However if left in its current layout it has the potential to be used for bed and breakfast.

On the ground floor there is a lounge, kitchen/diner, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. There is a courtyard offering a large parking area in the front of the cottage, with several outbuildings surrounding the courtyard.

The property is situated in the lovely Mayenne countryside with far reaching views from the garden looking over the landscape. It is close to a small village with local amenities, and Gorron is a large market town only 5 minutes away. It provides restaurants, bars, local shops and supermarket. There is easy access to airports and a train station at Laval, and approximately 50 minutes to the ferry ports.

Barn
The second outbuilding in the courtyard is a very pretty large stone barn (116m²). This barn is ready to be renovated and has planning in place to convert into a four bedroom house or maybe two extra gites. The barn has recently been re-tiled and re-pointed and has power and a water supply.
Collection of outbuildings
At the rear of the barn you will find more outbuildings, firstly a small open hangar which is used for car parking. Secondly along the rear of the barn is another building which is separated into a building which is used as the summer kitchen (10m²) with concrete floor, fridge, sink and storage area. The other part of this building is a recreation room/bar (22m²) with lighting and power, tiled flooring and sky tv. There is also a wood storage building and wine store/utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, power and concrete floor. The oil tank for the central heating can be found in this part of the garden.
Garden
Adjacent to these buildings is a large gravel patio and seating area which overlooks a lawn with fruit trees around the boundary fence and spectacular views over the countryside. In the centre of this lawn area is a plunge pool (3.8m diameter, 1.2m depth). The gardens then carry on to the rear of the main cottage where you find another lawn surrounded by mature trees, hedges and shrubs with BBQ area. This brings you out onto the courtyard area to the front of the property.

This is an attractive collection of buildings with a lovely stone cottage, separate gite, stone barn to be converted and numerous outbuildings together with beautiful gardens and views, in a peaceful location. There is also the opportunity to run a business from these premises.
