Attractive stone house ideal for B&B or house and gîte, large barn and over 1/4 acre garden

This attractive stone house is built to an “L” shape.  It was previously divided into a separate house and gîte but the current owners have opened the accommodation to create a large family house and offer 2 rooms for B&B.   There is a huge stone barn on the opposite side of the courtyard which offers large dry storage and workshop space.  It would also be suitable for conversion into a separate gîte if required, and subject to planning permission.  There is a manageable sized garden with patio and seating area with gazebo positioned to take advantage of super views over open countryside.  The house is situated in a small rural hamlet.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated near a small village in the Mayenne department of the Loire Valley, near the boundary with Lower Normandy.  Every day amenities can be found in nearby Ceaucé (3.8 km) with bakery, a butcher, delicatessen, a small supermarket, newsagents, schools, hairdresser, bank, doctor and chemists, two bars and a restaurant and other small shops.  There is a small market in the village on Thursday mornings. The pretty village of Saint-Fraimbault is 3 km away. The Medieval Town of Domfront is 21 km away and Lassay-les-Châteaux is 20.3km away and Mayenne is 20 km.  The department capital at Alençon is 67 km.  The closest airport to the property is Laval Airport (50 km), Caen Carpiquet (79 km)  and  in the surrounding area are Rennes Airport (91km).   The UNESCO site of  Mont St Michel is 80 km away, the Old Town of Le Mans is 127 km and the major city of Caen is 119 km affording regular access via ferry to the UK.
