French property in Pays de la Loire - Maine et Loire - Delightful, picturesque, renovated farmhouse with roses round the door, 2 bedrooms, extra guest space and above ground swimming pool.

Sitting alongside a quiet lane leading to a forest, the property has a lovely, south facing, front garden mainly laid to gravel, with flower beds, the old pump and peaceful seating areas.

Entering the house through a stable door you come to a immaculate kitchen with modern units blending perfectly with the wood burning range cooker. The old bread oven has been turned into a back-lit wine rack and makes a lovely feature. There is also a more modern electric cooker with hood.

From the kitchen, the house opens out into a spacious, light and airy dining area and then a couple of steps down into the living area – with high ceilings, oak beams and two wood burners, these rooms are cosy and welcoming. A beautiful wood and wrought iron staircase leads up from the dining area to the 1st floor.

Another room leads off to a small lobby and a downstairs toilet and wash basin. There is also another room, presently used for storage, but could equally be converted into a 3rd bedroom.

The stairs open out into a large mezzanine area which can accommodate a double sofa-bed to sleep additional guests or be used as a study area. The two double bedrooms are at either end of the mezzanine and boast beams, double aspect windows and plenty of storage space under the eaves. With one bedroom there is a shower room with wc, hand basin and bidet, whereas with the other there is an en-suite bathroom with bath wc and hand basin. The upstairs area is carpeted, adding to the cosy feel of this upstairs space.

Back downstairs and double french doors open out from the living room to a terraced area (with feature fish pond), lawn and leads to the above ground wooden 6 m x 4 m above ground swimming pool complete with filtration system. It is surrounded by wooden fencing and mature shrubs giving complete privacy. There is even an area for a small vegetable garden.

In addition to the area immediately around the property, the drive leads to a large hangar-style garage, with space enough for a car and storage area above. There are also two decent sized sheds, a small stone outbuilding and a well.

This property has been well maintained, it has double glazing and shutters all round and in addition to the 2 wood burners there are also storage heaters in the lounge and dining areas. Upstairs rooms are heated by electric heaters.

It offers everything you could wish for in a permanent residence, but would serve equally well as a holiday home, being not far from many leisure pursuits and of course good transport links.
