Pays de la Loire, Sarthe, Le Grand-Lucé, France

Dating from the late 19th century, this property has been tastefully renovated to offer traditional character combined with the comforts of modern living. The slate roof is well maintained, the windows offer high quality heat and sound insulation, the electric radiators complement the wood stove for heating. Electric shutters provide that extra touch of convenience. And of course there is fibre broadband and mains drains.
