Maison à vendre, 192m², Angers

Description

From the street, an imposing wooden gate framed between two tuffeau-stone pillars leads into a courtyard. On one side of this court there is the house. And opposite the house there is a first outbuilding. On the other side of the court, there is another outbuilding, which is bigger than the first one. A secondary dwelling is housed in the latter outbuilding. Beyond the court, there are the grounds, which are entirely walled and cover over one hectare. From the bottom of the grounds, a drive also leads to the court. The house has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. It is made of rubble stone coated with rendering. A gabled slate roof with dormers crowns the dwelling. The cornice, dormers and window surrounds are made of exposed tuffeau stone. The house’s origins date back a long way. Many of the edifice’s historical features have been preserved. In the 19th century, a central avant-corps, capped with a remarkable dormer, was added to the facade. In the secondary dwelling, renovation work is needed, as it is in the main house too, albeit to a lesser extent. The outbuildings are made of tuffeau stone and are crowned with hipped slate roofs with dormers. The house The ground floor A vast entrance hall connects to a lounge, a kitchen with a dining room, and a hallway that leads to a wooden staircase and a lavatory. The kitchen has kept an imposing fireplace of tuffeau stone, a bread oven, a stone sink and exposed ceiling beams. A boiler room lies beside it. There is a marble fireplace in one of the walls in the lounge. The floors are terracotta-tiled throughout this level. The kitchen leads straight out into the garden in front of the house and the lounge offers a view of the orchard. A cellar dug out of the rock offers a 20m² floor area. You reach it from an outdoor flight of stone steps beneath the bread oven. The upstairs A landing connects to two bedrooms with fireplaces: a marble fireplace in the first bedroom and a fireplace painted in a faux-marble style in the second one. These bedrooms lie beside a bathroom with a lavatory. The floors are terracotta-tiled throughout this level too. The attic The roof space is divided into two bedrooms with exposed beams and a landing room. The floors are covered with terracotta tiles. The secondary dwellingThe secondary dwelling lies in part of the main outbuilding.
