Pays de la Loire, Sarthe, France

This lovely property has been partially renovated, and one can just imagine how beautiful it will be when completed, with exposed stone and beams, big windows and high ceilings.

A considerable amount of work has already been carried out, on the electrics, the plumbing, floors, walls, ceilings and bathrooms (it is on mains drains), and the roof is in good condition having been redone in 2006. There is, however, no central heating, the windows require replacing, and the kitchen is very basic.

The house is L shaped, with the feature staircase in the middle (painted white).
