It comprises a farmhouse of space and character having 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is a property which is kept in immaculate order, but has not been spoilt by modernisation since all the old features and atmosphere have been retained. In spring and summer it is clearly a delight – there is a charming English style garden to the house and to the gite. This area is near the border between lower Normandy and Pays de la Loire and near the border of the Regional Park of Normandy Maine. This is a beautiful area, centred on Bagnoles-De-l’Orne, a famous spa town set in the Forêt des Andaines, a 15,000 hectare forest with many public tracks and rides. This area is much favoured for French and non French tourism, there are lakes for swimming, boating and fishing in various locations including La Ferte-Mace (13 miles) and Sille-le-Guillaume (26 miles). The property has been in English ownership for the last 12 years during which time the letting of the gite has been successfully pursued. In the last two years a B&B business has been run which adds to the letting income of the gite.
