House in Lassay-les-Châteaux , Mayenne , Pays de la Loire

The sweeping driveway leads you to the front of the house. There are two front doors, one opens on to the main hallway with stairs up and the other the sitting room. From the hallway there is the formal lounge which is large with plenty of original features including marble fireplace, oak panelling to the walls and oak floorboards with ample windows and French doors onto the back garden. From the hallway in the other direction you enter another reception room, currently used as an office, then the sitting room which has original quarry tiled floor, and plaster work. There is a double sided woodburner in the fireplace which also serves the kitchen. In the kitchen there are a number of units, range cooker and some marble worktops. A second staircase lead up from the kitchen.

From the hallway the main staircase goes up to a split level landing and two double bedrooms each having an anteroom off for dressing or potential ensuite bathrooms. From the landing there is a shower room which also has access from bedroom three, another good sized double which is light and airy (these three bedrooms with the lounge below, would make great letting rooms for chambre d'hote) The landing leads along, with ample storage cupboards, to the master suite with ante room, master bedroom, four, with exposed beams and storage and bathroom. The landing continues on to another double, bedroom five, with ensuite bathroom, then to bedroom six, a single. Stairs lead back down to the kitchen. All the double bedrooms benefit from having a balconied full height window.

A covered walkway joins the main house to the barn which has a joint kitchen and dining room with fitted appliances and French doors onto a balcony which overlooks the lake. There is also a laundry and utility room, which could be used as a living room, with separate wc. Stairs lead up from the kitchen to the first floor with three rooms with Velux roof windows for potential bedrooms and a potential bathroom - All the main works have been done so it would be a simple job to make this a very attractive gite.

There is also a large hobby room with glass frontage and double doors and stable for storage. There are extensive gardens to the rear which are bordered by a stone wall on two sides and the property’s own lake on the third. The garden is well stocked with fruit trees and a productive vegetable garden and soft fuit bushes. The lake is well stocked with carp.

An idyllic, pastoral setting with so much potential.
