This Stunning Period Manor House has two large living rooms with fireplaces separated by vestibule and straight staircase of the period, large square rooms, dates from the 15th century as does the main fireplace.

The floor tiles on the ground floor and reused on the landing, seem to be related to the construction of a domain belonging to the nearby Abbey of Melinais.

One of the two extensions of the 18th century, in continuation, has been conserved to shelter the kitchen overlooking a terrace.

Aside from the views and surroundings, this elegant mansion has enjoyed a recent restoration of very high quality, respecting as best as possible the history of the place. The openings have been restored, fireplaces and beams restored, and all the old stones have been sand blasted and prepared.

Modern comfort has its place in the property and the decoration has been carried out very carefully, the property would be just as much to the daily life of a family as to that of a B&B Business.

And the project could be continued by rehabilitating an old outbuilding which was probable habitation of the farmer.

Some figures: 330 m2 living space of which 5 bedrooms, on almost 6000 m2 of trees and lawns, has 8 kms fromf Bauge and 270kms from Paris.

The prices quoted are inclusive of agency fees paid for by the seller.
