Pays de la Loire, Mayenne, Gorron, France

A39765AFE53 - You enter into a bright kitchen-diner (34.9m2) that mixes modern touches with original character. The oak beams give it real charm, while the dual-aspect windows flood the space with light and views of the garden. It’s the perfect place for cooking, chatting, and entertaining and the modern fitted kitchen has plenty of storage space and work surfaces. Just off the kitchen is a utility room (3.5m2) with extra storage, and a spacious office/hobby room (8m2) – ideal for working from home or getting creative.

The lounge (44.7m2) is another great family space, with several windows looking out over the garden and terrace. Doors open straight onto the terrace for easy indoor-outdoor living, and a cozy wood-burning stove in a central fireplace is perfect for relaxing evenings.

On the ground floor you will find the parental suite. A generous size double bedroom (12.7m2), a walk-in dressing room (6.7m2) that’s fully fitted out, and a stylish en-suite shower room (5.8m2). To the first floor there are two large double bedrooms (11m2, 10.8m2). Both have duel aspect velux windows letting in plenty of natural light and space for furniture. A family bathroom (5.3m2) comes with both a bathtub and a separate freestanding shower – plenty of space for everyone.

The garden really makes this place special. The south-west facing terrace is a brilliant spot for summer dinners or evening drinks, surrounded by mature plants and shrubs. There’s a small orchard and vegetable patch with a greenhouse ready for use, and lawns that flow from one area to the next over a tiny stream. Mature trees and a natural area make it a haven for wildlife. Plenty of space for those who want to keep chickens and other animals. You could be as self sufficient as you want!

An outbuilding with a good roof, concrete floor, and electricity gives you loads of extra storage or workshop space. There is private parking on the front courtyard.

The house sits at the end of a quiet lane in a small hamlet. Looking out onto the countryside yet only 2 km from a lively market town with everything you need – schools, health services, supermarkets, a pool, cinema, and weekly markets. You can hop on your bike in the morning for fresh bread or to meet friends in one of the local cafés, bars, or restaurants.

The property has a conforming septic tank, fibre optics, double glazed and electric heaters.
