Renovated fermette close to superb village near Mayenne, France

The fermette is situated on a quiet lane in rolling open countryside only 500 metres from the beautiful village of St Denis de Gastines, which has 2 boulangeries, 2 bars (one with restaurant), 2 banks, small supermarket and other shops, 2 First schools and sports complex.  The property is less than 10 minutes drive from 2 larger towns with more facilities including doctors, dentists and large supermarkets, and approximately 15/20  minutes drive to either Mayenne Town or Fougeres.

The house has been fully renovated, covering 115m2 in total, with a 65m2 open living room with fitted kitchen area at one end, and with a large granite fireplace with woodburner at the other. Downstairs there is also a fully tiled shower room with WC and handbasin.  At the kitchen end a door gives access to steps to a large dry cellar/utility room which houses the central heating boiler.  Upstairs via the original oak staircase there are 3 double bedrooms, and a modern fully tiled bathroom, all fitted with Velux windows with views over the countryside and to the village.  The ground floor and upstairs bathroom are fully tiled, with wood laminate flooring to the bedrooms and landing and there are exposed beams throughout.
The property is fully double glazed with oil fired central heating to supplement the woodburner.
To the front there is a fully enclosed and gated garden of approximately 240m2 of lawn and flower beds, with a gravelled terrace area and containing a further small attractive stone and slate cottage to be renovated,  with potential for making a further 70 m2 of habitable accommodation. There is also a gravelled parking area for 3 cars. To the south side of the house there is a walled terrace area giving access to the rear fully fenced garden of 630m2. This is currently used for grazing sheep. There is another fully enclosed garden of approximately 900 m2 opposite the house on which outline planning permission has been applied for recently. There is a small building which is currently used for housing chickens and a large vegetable plot, plus another parking area for several vehicles.
