Normandy, Orne, Ceaucé, France

Nestled in a tranquil hamlet, this charming property enjoys a secluded location surrounded by the picturesque countryside, and being situated in the Parc Naturel Normandie-Maine, which is a protected area, you have peace of mind that the area will remain unspoiled. The quietude of this setting is complemented by its proximity to the popular villages of Ceaucé and Ambrieres les Vallées, where local amenities, including shops, bakeries, bars, restaurants, butchers, grocers, and schools up to secondary level, create a convenient and welcoming atmosphere. The towns such as Domfront and Mayenne are less than twenty minutes away, offering additional amenities and services.

The house, a stone cottage typical of the area, with the added charm of two dormer windows, provides a pleasant view of the land and the barns. You enter into a glass porch at the front of the house that is functioning as a boot room. Moving through into the house we have the ground floor comprising a well-appointed kitchen/dining room featuring a wood-burning stove, this leads into the living room of aprox 20m2. Also on this floor is a walk in cupboard that currently houses the washing machine, boiler and storage area.

The solid wood staircase leads to the first floor where we find a generously sized landing presents a small library office area, and is a versatile space. Two double bedrooms bedrooms with storage space have plenty of character with both showing original oak beams and one with an open stone wall. There is a modern tiled bathroom with wc.

Outside, the property boasts several characterful elements, including an old stone barn, an ancient bread oven, and an open barn. The gardens on the sides and rear are adorned with shrubs and herbaceous plants, creating a delightful outdoor retreat. The expansive rear field, spanning over 1.5 acres, provides plenty of possibilities and rural lifestyle options, suitable for keeping larger animals, and having a self-sufficient smallholding, with enough room for a pony or a couple of donkeys.

The barn on the property offers exciting potential for conversion, but would need to be completely renovated (subject to planning). Great storage area or the perfect workshop.

With its homely appeal and rural lifestyle setting, this property beckons as an ideal escape into the heart of Normandy's countryside.
