Pays de la Loire, Sarthe, Parcé-sur-Sarthe, France

This charming house is in great condition and has all the benefits of being in a small town yet only a few minutes walk from the riverside and country walks. Lovingly restored and maintained by the present owner, it is ready to move into or become a ‘lock up and leave’ holiday home.

On the ground floor there is a spacious living room (approximately 20m2) with open fireplace and original features leading to a well equipped country style kitchen, also with an open fire and river views.

Stairs from the living room lead to the first floor landing where there are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a third small room presently used as an office.

Outside a sunny courtyard, planted with shrubs and small trees provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy some al fresco dining. Across the courtyard are the annexe buildings with woodshed, laundry room and attic.

The village of Parcé-sur-Sarthe offers all the local amenities including a butcher, 2 bakers, a chemist, a post-office, a bar and restaurant. The nearby town of Sablé-sur-Sarthe has a TGV station with easy and fast connections to Paris. The harbour in Caen is 2 hours by car and Roscoff (ferry to Plymouth) is 4 hours. There is a TGV station within 10 minutes drive and direct access to the A11 motorway (Le Mans-Angers) is only 7 minutes away.
