The large and imposting Maison de Maitre detached house has retained much of its original classic styling since being built over 100 years ago. The tiled floors are original and reflect the period of the property. The overall condition and internal décor are in very good condition and there is ample scope for someone to add their input to the styling to create a very spacious and beautiful classic French home.

 

The house has most of its original style shutters to the windows and overlooks its own landscaped grounds on a total area size of 7,149 sq metres which includes a paddock. The garden to the front of the house resembles parkland and has a wide range of mature shrubs, established trees and large areas of lawn. Also in the garden are lots of original granite stone remnants of ancient buildings which have been utilised as seating and embellishments. At the end and to the side of the garden is a very large open hangar barn which is ideal for dry storage with ample space for boats, caravans and vehicles.

 

The house has a large entrance hall with high ceiling and original tiled floor. The kitchen/breakfast room has a fitted kitchen area and window overlooking the garden. The lounge is spacious with solid wood flooring and large fireplace for an open fire. To the rear of the hall is a ground floor utility room and separate wc.

 

On the first floor there is a corridor leading to five bedrooms, a family bathroom separat shower room and two of the bedrooms have additional en suite shower rooms. The staircase continues up to the very large open attic room which has been insulated but currently is one large open space spanning the ground area of the house. It would be possible to create at least four bedrooms and en suites on this level or use as a very large hobby and games room, or artist studio.

 

This property is a fine example of this period of house and really needs to be viewed to be appreciated. The surrounding countryside is very beautiful and in every direction there is much to explore. The north coast is just 30 mins drive and the lovely historic town of Quintin just 15 mins drive.

Gardens and Grounds

The gardens are particularly a lovely feature of this property. There is a gated gravel driveway to the side that leads to the front of the property with ample parking for several cars. The gardens are laid mainly to lawn with a wide variety of mature shrubs, trees and pretty flower borders. Dotted around the garden are very old granite stone seats and items reclaimed from ancient buildings. For anyone keen to create their own gardens this property is ideal. To the rear of the garden is a paddock area (not inspected) which we are informed would be ideal to keep small animals or growing vegetables.
