The spacious 518m2 property sits at the heart of its own grounds, surrounded by mature trees, lawns and gardens, with a paddock, woodland, productive potager and private access down to the river.
Although wonderfuly private, it is only a few minutes from the lively market town of Segre-en-Anjou Bleu.
The house has been carefully renovated over the years and is presented in excellent condition throughout.
Original features such as the wood panelling have been beautifully preserved and sit comfortably alongside modern bathrooms and an efficient pellet-fired heating system, resulting in an impressive DPE rating of C.
The ground floor is ideal for family life as well as entertaining, with a welcoming entrance hall [49m2] leading to a series of elegant reception rooms, including a billiard room [31m2] , sitting room [31m2]; dining room [23m2] and office [20m2].
The kitchen is both attractive and practical [18m2], complemented by a generous pantry [12m2].
Upstairs, the first floor has five spacious bedrooms, ranging from 19m2 to 29m2, with several having their own dressing areas.
The 29m2 principal bedroom is particularly generous, while a further 26m2 bedroom has its own shower room.
A modern family bathroom and separate shower room complete the floor.
The top floor is a real surprise. It is currently arranged as a home cinema and games room [34m2], making it an ideal space for children, teenagers or simply relaxing with friends.
There is also a practical laundry room with sink [21m2], together with three additional rooms which are ready to be finished as further bedrooms, guest accommodation or perhaps a home office [29m2, 21m2, 18m2].
The space would benefit from the addition of a bathroom or shower room, making it easy to create a completely self-contained upper floor.
Outside, the same care is apparent. The gardens are beautifully planted with established flower beds and mature specimen trees, while the potager and surrounding meadows create a true country estate feel.
The swimming pool sits discreetly within the grounds, and the river frontage adds another dimension to the setting.
The outbuildings are equally well maintained and include several garages and storage buildings, as well as a separate building housing the pool equipment and an efficient dual-fuel boiler that can burn either wood or pellets.
Also included is a second house, currently occupied by a residential tenant. It requires complete renovation but represents an excellent opportunity for anyone looking for a future gite, guest accommodation, multi-generational living or rental investment.
Segre-en-Anjou Bleu, just a short drive away, provides everything needed for everyday life, including supermarkets, independent shops, cafes, restaurants, schools, healthcare facilities, sports clubs and a popular weekly market.
The River Oudon, with its marina and riverside walks, adds to the town's appeal, while the surrounding countryside is known for its walking, cycling and equestrian routes.
The property is also well placed for travel. Angers is easily reached via the dual carriageway, with TGV services to Paris, while Nantes, Rennes and Le Mans are all around an hour away.
For those travelling to and from the UK, the ferry ports of Caen and Saint-Malo are both within comfortable driving distance.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
