Ref.4120 : OLD LODGE OF THE 15th CENTURY RENOVATED IN PERCHE SARTHOIS
This imposing Seigneurie is located in the north-east of the Sarthe department, close to its Orne neighbour, in the so-called "Perche sarthois" country, a few leagues from the renowned "Comté Bellêmois".
Built in the heart of a region that is half woodland, half cereal, where the eye is lost in the distance in a green, natural and uncluttered setting
natural and uncluttered, a reassuring symbol of undeniable tranquillity, this property seems to be disconnected from the hustle and bustle of civilisation, even though it is so close.
Perfectly supplied at less than 5 minutes, at a reasonable distance from the main roads and means of communication, this beautiful building can seduce for its high potential location which will leave everyone the imagination of a family life, a craft or commercial project .... or even a simple holiday.
Forgetting all nuisances by its isolated position, this country property will bring an additional testimony that there are still preserved places, and thus magic, 2 hours from the capital.

The property is accessed via a long driveway, giving it peace and security.
A long building forms the main building, built of limed stone and covered with a flat tile roof, adorned with a few chimneys.
Two long outbuildings of the same design, arranged face to face around a courtyard of honour, form a harmonious and symmetrical U-shape giving a real impression of grandeur and power, as expected in a Seigneurie.
Two other outbuildings with a more agricultural vocation complete the decor at the rear of the property.
Finally, there is an attractive lime kiln of perfect proportions.

With a living area of approx. 315sqm, excluding the attic (100sqm), the property is distributed as follows:

Ground floor: large fitted kitchen (27sqm) with travertine floor/dining room (31sqm) with travertine floor and presence of a marble fireplace with overmantel. Wooden staircase.
Adjoining office (13sqm) which can be used as a bedroom. Presence of a fireplace. Floors with cabochons.
At the back, a corridor with an outside exit/independent toilet.
Large living room (60sqm) with fireplace and overmantel;.small technical room in entrance.
Parqueted corridor giving access to a large parqueted bedroom (31sqm) adjoining a bathroom + shower (12sqm); tiled technical room to follow and second staircase leading to the East floor.

First floor on the east side: study or bedroom with parquet flooring, vast attic to be converted (over 100sqm), on glass wool insulated slab. Very beautiful oak framework in the shape of a cathedral. Presence of openings; reservations for toilets and electricity. Project for 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.

First floor on the west side: landing and corridor leading to a dressing room adjoining a bedroom (27sqm); presence of a fireplace.
Another beautiful bedroom with fireplace, third bedroom with fireplace and independent bathroom.

Stairs leading to an attic for storage.
Note that the 2 attics on the first floor are not connected.

Since the acquisition in 2016, a total renovation campaign has been undertaken without the slightest concession to the quality of the materials chosen. By annexing the neighbouring barn, a functional and well thought-out redistribution of space has been achieved, making it easy to envisage the renovation of the large attic to the east.

The comfort is real and of a good standard; the technical aspects were the subject of the intervention of professionals, most of whose work is still under the ten-year guarantee.

The property would benefit from the addition of a new bathroom and WC on the first floor, which are essential.
