Opis:

This stunning character property is a former "Gentleman's Residence", built in 1920. I know this property inside out as my son used to visit the property from 2006 to 2010 for piano lessons conducted by the owner. This property was once a successful B&B run by previous owners, who I knew also very well and sold the property for them to the current owners.

The property has been on the market recently at a higher price but now is priced very well and accurately for the local French market values but it offers simply amazing value to the international market looking for a B&B or bespoke small Hotel business to set up and run successfully, it truly is a beautiful property in a superb location.

The beautiful interior has retained all the elegance of the period, making this a home of outstanding quality.

Situated in a lovely village, with exceptional views of the river Varenne and valley, this house is conveniently located, within close walking distance of all shops and services.

The property extends over four floors, and comprises:

Ground floor: Grand living room, dining room, kitchen, two additional sitting rooms, a utility room and a conservatory. A magnificent staircase leads to the upper floors.

First floor: there are four bedrooms.

Second floor: a further four bedrooms: all of which have en-suite facilities.

Above: Loft space to convert.

There is a basement with four rooms for storage, as well as a beautiful music room/library.

The property benefits from oil fired central heating. Whilst all the original character of this house has been meticulously preserved, the decor is in immaculate condition, and entirely in keeping with the period, the owners have left one or two small rooms to finish.

There is also a vegetable garden.

Outside there is a double garage, with an apartment above, currently bringing in a rental income. There is a good-sized side garden, and large terraced garden to the rear.

The department of Mayenne is part of the Pays de la Loire region at the crossroads with Brittany and the rest of inland France, the department is less discovered than its neighbours and the main town of Mayenne and Laval are worth a visit.

Charming villages are dotted around the countryside and make for interesting property hunting, it has long been the forgotten gem in North-west France so property prices are lower than in Normandy and Brittany.

The countryside offers nature reserves with interesting places to visit, the land being covered with large forests and panoramic countryside.

Paris is not far either and from Laval you can be in the centre of the capital via the TGV (high speed train) within 90 minutes. It is quickly accessible through airports, train stations and motorways.
