Location
The property lies in a calm hamlet with age-old origins beside a village just south of the River Loire. This village offers shops and amenities for everyday needs. The city of Angers is 30 minutes away. From Angers, you can get to Paris by high-speed rail in less than 1 hour and 30 minutes. There are a dozen daily train journeys to the French capital. The banks of the River Loire with their picturesque villages, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are only around 20 kilometres away, as is a slip road onto the A87 motorway. The environment is dominated by vineyards with renowned protected labels of origin.
Description
A calm road in the hamlet, where a few old, elegant dwellings stand, runs around the property. From this road, a first gate leads into a courtyard in front of the house. Then a second gate leads into a garden further on. The road then runs all the way alongside the property’s parkland. In the front court, which is entirely walled, there is a well, a woodstore with a 5m² floor area, and a storehouse with a 12m² floor area, used for storing bicycles and tools. In the garden at the back, there is a swimming pool. The dwelling, made of stone and crowned with a slate roof, is made up of two sections. The first section houses the family rooms and the second one a little guesthouse. The two sections are linked together with a space that forms a patio. Opposite the main section, there is an open-sided shelter with an 8m² floor area. This shelter has a roof of tiles and leads straight to the garden and swimming pool.
The main house
The semi-detached house has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space.
The ground floor
The entrance door leads to a hallway, a boiler room and a corridor. The hallway connects to an office where there is an entrance to a former bakehouse, as well as a utility room and pantry. From the utility room, a flight of stairs leads up to a loft space with a 20m² floor area. In the boiler room, a flight of stairs leads up to a roof terrace. The corridor leads to a kitchen, a lounge and a cloakroom with a lavatory. The cloakroom, kitchen and lounge lead straight outside to the garden behind the house. The lounge also leads out to the court at the front. The floors are covered with terracotta tiles or polished concrete. In the lounge, there is a French-style beamed ceiling. An imposing stone fireplace embellishes one of the walls. From this same lounge, a wooden quarter-turn staircase with a balustrade leads up to the bedrooms.
The first floor
The landing connects to two bedrooms. One has a bathroom with a bathtub, shower and lavatory. The other one has a washbasin and lavatory. There is also a large tuffeau-stone fireplace in one of the bedrooms, which has a walk-in wardrobe too.
The attic
A corridor, fitted with cupboards, connects to two bedrooms, a bathroom and a lavatory.
The guesthouse
The guesthouse has only a ground floor and includes a bedroom, a kitchenette and a shower room with a lavatory. It offers a 30m² floor area. The flooring is made of polished concrete and the ceiling height up to roof ridge exceeds four metres. A painted wooden fireplace embellishes one of the walls.
The garden
In front of the house, the walled courtyard is landscaped and a towering fig tree provides shade for hot summer days. At the back, near the house, a tree-dotted garden includes a swimming pool with a terrace, also shaded by trees. Beyond, parkland extends with an orchard and kitchen garden.
Our opinion
This elegant, renovated dwelling, just two hours from Paris, would be the ideal rural holiday home. Both inside and outside, you can move around this pleasant property smoothly. It offers all the space you need for a large family. The courtyard and its cosy patio complement the open space of the lush parkland, where you can admire a clear view of the surrounding countryside. The property was recently renovated extensively, so you can settle into it straight away.
