Maison De La Jardiniére

Perreux, near Roanne.

Description

A superb, large detached farmhouse residence in the heart of  the Roannais, in the departement of Loire, Rhône-Alpes and set in over 2 acres of beautiful gardens with mature trees.

All the estate is within the original woodland grounds of  the Chateau des Cresses, overlooking stunning countryside and farmland.

10 x 5 metre swimming pool and terracing in secluded part of the gardens, including large veranda for summer dining.

Just beyond the main garden area there is considerable natural woodland of around  3 acres or more, some of which may also be available for purchase under separate negotiation.

Only 5 minutes drive or a 15 minute walk from the medieval hill village of Perreux.

The main township of Roanne and bourg of Le Coteau are only 10 minutes away with all shops, amenities, schools, hospital, etc.

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a distinctive house, built in 1830.

This was the original home of the Chateau gardener, hence its name, and has immense character, along with further potential for development, and extension if required.

The main salon still has the large, original stone fireplace, and has many other traditional features, including massive oak beams throughout.

The house is currently habitated by Madame Siedel, the last French owner of the Chateau des Cresses, and the house has been her family home for over  35 years.
