This very pretty stone cottage has been well maintained by the current owners. The 1/4 acre garden is very pretty and just the right size to enjoy dining al fresco and a bit of gardening, without being too much to manage. The accommodation in the house is spacious and versatile with potential to create additional bedrooms/bathrooms if required. Quiet hamlet location just 5 mins from shops.

Over the last 17 years the current owners have lovingly updated, extended and completely re-wired the house and there is still the potential to create an additional bedroom on the ground floor as well as putting the plumbing in place to create an ensuite bathroom for bedroom 4 if required. The windows are all double-glazed and the house is heated with programmable electric heaters and, of course, the lovely wood-burning stove in the sitting room

Outside:

A gravel drive way leads down to a turning area by the house. The garden has a lovely lawned area, mature trees and planting. A large terraced area has both an under-cover shaded area as well as a sun-trap area so dining alfresco is an option whatever the weather.

There is a garage (5.36 x 3.19m) attached to the house that has an electric roller door, concrete floor, lighting and electric connection.

There is also a timber 'chalet' that is currently divided into two separate storage areas. The final two outbuildings include a useful log-store and a separate tool-shed.

Location

The house is situated in a quiet hamlet with two other properties, but is just 5 mins from the town of Gorron, an old Roman town on the banks of the river Colmont with riverside parks and lots of footpaths to explore.

This town has many shops and services, a good selection of restaurants and bars, independent shops for browsing, schools, public pool & leisure facilities, cafes, butcher, news agency, dentist, doctors and pharmacy.

The large town of Mayenne is 20 mins away and the larger Laval, 50 mins where you can take the TGV train service to Montparnasse. Good access links to ferry ports St Malo (1hr 40 mins) and Caen (2hr 15 mins). The coast at Mont-Saint-Michel is about 1hr 15mins away - ideal for a day trip.
