A 17th-century dwelling with its convertible outbuildings and grounds of 1.7 hectares, on the outskirts of a village near Angers and the banks of the Loire. A country road provides access to the property's entrance gate, which opens onto a lane that traverses a portion of the grounds, passes in front of the dwelling's façade, before ending in the outbuildings' courtyard, facing west. As for the grounds, they extend behind the dwelling towards the east, while the current edifice, built over older foundations, dates mainly from the 17th and 19th centuries. Facing east-west, it is made up of a central three-storey pavilion, including one level under the eaves, and two single-storey side pavilions. With mostly dual-aspect rooms, its slate hipped roofs are punctuated by dormer windows, whereas its wooden front doors, each decorated with a carved saltire, date from the 17th century and are topped with a curvilinear cornice and highlighted by rusticated stonework that reaches all the way to the roofline. In addition, on the first floor, pilasters support a triangular pediment adorned with a count's coat of arms, more understated rusticated stonework was used to draw attention to the back door and all of the dwelling's exterior architectural details - rusticated stonework, cornices, quoins, dormers and window/door surrounds - were constructed out of tuffeau stone. Last, but not least, the property features two outbuildings, built later during the 19th century, the larger one of which could be easily converted, while the grounds also include a swimming pool as well as a small pavilion, nestled within the grounds and partially enclosed by a wall, which has been transformed into a guest cottage.
