Description
Tucked away at the end of a serene lane in the picturesque village of Carelles, Mayenne, you will discover this intriguing property offering not just one, but two detached residences set amidst an expanse of approximately 1.5 hectares. This piece of French countryside is ideal for those looking to maintain a lifestyle that embraces the peacefulness of rural living while still being within reach of essential amenities and exciting locales.
Both flats are delightful in their unique rights. The first house, covering 68 m², invites you in with a bright and friendly living-dining space, warmed by an insert wood stove that adds a cozy touch. The galley-style kitchen is practical, opening up to a quaint garden space—perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. On the same floor, there's a convenient bedroom, ensuring accessibility and ease of living. Ascending to the first level, a small landing leads to an adorable bedroom and a convenient shower room with a WC, perfectly catering to the essentials one needs.
The second house, offering 114 m² of living space, brings plenty of character with its beautiful exposed beams and stone walls. The ground floor boasts a spacious living room overlooking the vast land, while the kitchen dining room easily becomes a hub for gathering. Two bedrooms, with one having its own shower and basin, provide comfort and functionality. Additionally, there's a beautifully finished room on the first floor with Velux windows and an oak floor which presents a vast array of possible uses—from a master suite to a creative studio.
Here's a fun breakdown of what each house includes:
- Ground floor living/dining room
- Galley-style functional kitchen
- One ground-floor bedroom
- Additional first-floor bedroom
- Shower room plus WC
The outer space doesn't disappoint either, with approximately 1.5 ha providing plenty of room for outdoor projects or leisurely gardening. There's even an old bread oven, preserved with a sound roof, punctuating the land's historical ties. Not to forget, the wood double glazing and the conforming fosse system offer additional convenience and modern touch.
Being situated in Carelles, within the bocage region of North Mayenne, life here is serene yet conveniently connected. The immediate area has a delightful local bar and restaurant perfect for socializing or indulging in local cuisine. For your essential shopping needs, Saint-Denis-de-Gastines is just around 5.5 km away, and for more expansive cultural and sporting activities, you can head to Gorron 8 km away, or Ernée 10 km away, where a wealth of amenities awaits.
Additionally, the breathtaking medieval town of Fougères is only a 25-minute drive, and for those seeking a truly immersive day trip, the iconic Mont-Saint-Michel is just an hour away. With beaches like Jullouville only 1 hour 15 minutes away, a seaside escape is also well within your reach. If travel connectivity is your concern, Rennes Airport is an hour and 20 minutes away, and the Saint-Malo ferries are just 1 hour 30 minutes, ensuring seamless access to other enchanting destinations or even a quick trip back home if you're commuting from abroad.
Living in such a charming setting means you'll enjoy the typical mild climate of Pays de la Loire. Summers here are warm and inviting, perfect for those long lazy days in the garden or exploring the nearby attractions. Winters are cool but manageable, allowing you to experience the beauty of the French countryside in all its seasonal glory.
