Description:

15c manor house and outbuildings
* 3 hectares and another 47 hectares available
* Period home steeped in history
* Maintained but not modernised

This characterful manor has been in the same historic family since 1853 - throughout the generations it has been maintained but not overly modernised and today offers a 5 bedrooms main house (with possibility for more), various large outbuildings and a converted fermette. The formal gardens are designed and sculptured with box hedges and walkways, there's a wild flower garden and entrance alley and if that wasn't enough there another adjoining 47 hectares of mainly woodland available to purchase.

The high ceilings and marble fireplaces throughout give an instant indication that this home was residence to noble families and all its charm is there waiting for the new owners. The entrance hall is quarry tiled and leads to a washroom at the end with a door within hiding an underground passage. The former kitchen is now the dining hall and the kitchen has now been relocated in the tower room offering direct access to the terrace in front. The lounge is well proportioned and leads to a reading room and study. There's access from the interior to an integral garage with stabling behind. The stone stairs lead to the upper floors. The 1st floor has 5 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and wc. The attic space 'complete with priest hole' is ripe for conversion.

Outside are numerous large outbuildings (in need of restoring) and a renovated farm house offering lounge (40m2), diner/kitchen (40m2) , bedroom (10m2) and bathroom with attic space available. The property is offered for sale with approx 3 hectares included and the option for an adjoining additional 47 hectares of mainly woodland at extra cost.

Excellent access to the market towns of Bauge and La Fleche this family home would make a great B&B + gites project with peace and quiet assured.

About Centre

Centre, like its neighbour the Pays de La Loire, is one the most majestic regions of France. Dominated by the Loire river and its chateaux, it is truly a magical part of France. Chartres, Blois and Bourges are some of the region's historic cities. Between Orleans and Tours is where you will see hundreds of magnificent chateaux, and this is where the region was given its name the "Valley of the Kings".

The scenery offers rolling hills, river valleys through to many forests, woodlands and lakes.

There are plenty of activities on offer from chateau tours, cycling, bird-watching, fishing, golf, hot-air ballooning, canoeing to kayaking. Of course the food and wines are excellent.

The area offers a mild climate thanks to the influence of the Loire river. The latitude of the Loire is typically where people say the climate becomes markedly better. The area offers milder winters, warm springs, warm to hot summers along with warm autumns.

Access to the region is good. There are low cost flights and the TGV fast train into Tours. Access to the region by car is also good with excellent motorway access. You can also fly into Paris and drive or take the train from there.
