Pays de la Loire, Mayenne, Lassay-les-Châteaux, France

2 bedroom country house with attached garage and enclosed paddock

This country house is well presented with plenty of character features. It has an attached garage with loft over which could be used to extend the accommodation or it could be converted into a self-contained gîte or annexe or for someone wishing to work from home.  The garden is fully fenced  and separated into different areas including a small paddock with stable.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is in a quiet town in the Mayenne area of the Loire Valley, which is a "Petite Cité de Caractère", near the border with Normandy.  Every day amenities are available in the town and there is a weekly market on a Wednesday.  The town has a selection of shops  including banks, a post office, hairdresser, bars and restaurants, a gift shop, a butcher and a baker. There is a large supermarket on the outskirts of the town.  We have written about Lassay-les-Châteaux here.  The nearest ports are Caen 65 miles, Cherbourg 120 miles, St Malo 85 miles and Le Havre 105 miles.   Calais is about 250 miles away.
