22 varieties of roses (English and old French)
Dahlias, spring bulbs and wisteria over the courtyard entrance
Magnolia grandiflora, ornamental crab apple tree, cherry trees and a plum tree
Water cascade feature, summer house, an orangerie, and an original 19th-century clapier.
Also in the Courtyard is a substantial three-storey dépendance (circa 1810) with attic, connected to water and electricity , offering scope for renovation. At its far end stands a former stable building, possibly dating from the original 17th-century structure, identified by its punched metal window shades.
Arranged over several floors, the property retains a significant number of original architectural features and offers flexible accommodation in a central Mayenne location. A rare opportunity to acquire a historic townhouse with gardens and outbuildings within walking distance of the town centre.
