French property in Pays de la Loire - Sarthe - A gem of a property in the Loire Valley. With 3 bedrooms, possible 4, delightful gardens and above ground pool.

If you want the peace and tranquillity of the countryside without being isolated, then this charming house is the answer. The nearest amenities are within 5 minutes by car and include boulangerie, bar, post office and also a modern doctors surgery (speaks English) and pharmacy.

Ideal for full time occupation or as a "lock up and leave" holiday home. The property is ready to move into, well maintained and has a modern feel without losing it's character. The windows are double-glazed with traditional french shutters.

On the ground floor is a fully fitted kitchen with a insert fireplace and space enough for table and chairs. The living room with it's oak beams, a feature electric fire and patio doors to the garden is cosy and welcoming. There is also a bathroom with both bath and shower and a separate WC, and hallway and to complete the ground floor is a south facing bedroom. There is underfloor heating in the living room, hall and bathroom.

The stairs to the 1st floor lead up from the kitchen and open into a large landing area. The first bedroom is currently used as a study, but is a double with velux window. The second bedroom (again a double) is light and bright and also has an independant outside stairway to the ground floor. There is a shower room that is large enough to install a bath if you prefer and also another attic room which could be used as a 4th bedroom with very little work necessary.

The outside space has been artfully divided into several areas, a sun terrace with an electric shade, a revolving barbeque and seating area, an above ground swimming pool with another terrace and a lovely lawn. The gardens wrap around the house and boast many mature shrubs which help keep the area low maintenance.

There are 3 gated entrances to the property a long driveway to the side, and undercover parking area big enough for 4 cars, a renovated outbuilding which is currently used as a workshop and also yet another room which can be used as a laundry or summer kitchen or even for extra guests.

Over the lane is another part of the garden which serves as a small orchard with peach, cherry, plum and quince trees. Or enough space for you to create your own vegetable garden.

You will rarely find such a gem of a property - everything has been done for you, so you literally could move straight in and start living your French dream.
