Description
The farmhouse is 25 m long and rectangular shaped with east/west facing facades. Its gable roof has two chimneys and four hip dormers on the front facade, one of which has a straight stone staircase leading up to it at the south-east corner of the building. A former pigsty is attached to the south gable, next to a small workshop. Long and rectangular too, it has small semi-circular openings in the upper part of the facades for ventilation and has a gable roof. At at right angle, to the north of the house, a former barn is currently under restoration. On the other side of the square courtyard there is a huge stable, flanked by a barn to the west. Meadows and paddocks for horses surround the building.
The house
From the courtyard, three glass doors open onto a living room, three bedrooms and a kitchen. The kitchen door is the main entrance and there is also a bar and toilets here. The adjoining lounge/dining room has a wood-burning stove. The two rooms have floating parquet flooring in one and random length strip parquet flooring in the other. The walls are made of stone and the ceilings are supported by exposed beams. The suite has three bedrooms, a bathroom and a toilet. The floors are covered with parquet or tiles. Above the ground floor, there is a 92 m² attic that is partly insulated and not yet converted and which is accessed via an outside stone stairway.
The barn
Adjoining the house, it borders the courtyard to the north. It covers an area of approximately 92 m², and needs to be restored and converted to extend the main building. It has a beaten earth floor.
The stables
The building is emblematic of the so-called Anjou "model" farms. Built in the mid-19th century, it has brick window surrounds and quoins. A central passageway leads to two stables on either side that can accommodate around ten horses. The floors are cobbled and the whole building is topped by a vast attic with wooden floors. Its total surface area spans approximately 193 m². This building cannot be converted into living space or a reception area.
The old pigsty
Joined to the south of the house, the former barn currently houses the boiler room and sheds.
The barn
Built of wood and covered with a sheet metal roof, the building can hold three vehicles.
The workshop
The small, detached building is currently a shed for tools and miscellaneous equipment.
The grounds
There are meadows all around the buildings bordered by numerous trees, some of which are over a 100 years old. They are currently used as horse paddocks and a manege. There is a well here. Other meadow plots could also be purchased.
Our opinion
In a region famous for its equestrian competitions, this large property is ideal for horse boarding or for small-scale breeding. The various buildings are in good condition, as are the surrounding meadows, so you can quickly start up a business, or simply turn the property into a pleasant holiday home in the Anjou countryside. Although it can be lived in straight away, the property will nevertheless need some work to complete its renovations and to be able to open it up to a wider range of possibilities.
