Savenay, Pays de la Loire 44260

A late 19th-century manor house in a garden with one-hundred-year-old trees, 20 minutes from Nantes, in a town-centre. The property stands along a street and is surrounded by a low stone wall topped by wrought-iron railings. Vehicles can enter the property through a large, central, double-leaf, ironwork gate, while a smaller pedestrian gate to the side provides a second entrance. In front of the house, there is a gravelled courtyard, while the garden extends to the rear. The first part of it is adjacent to the house and fully walled. It is then followed by a tree-filled, long plot to the side leading to the garage and then a field behind horse's looseboxes. The garden boasts a surface of more than 6000 m². The eclectically styled three-storey edifice, also with a basement, was erected in the late 19th century. It possesses a rubble stone plinth course all around its perimeter. The facade facing the street boasts light-coloured ochre rendering as well as quoins, door and window surrounds plus a denticulated cornice, all in ashlar. However, on the rear facade facing the garden, there is pointed exposed stonework and the windows are fitted with shutters. A protruding section stands at the corner of the building and includes a balcony with balusters on the first floor. It is topped by a pavilion roof, punctuated by a gable dormer with a pediment, adorned with two zinc ridge caps featuring a neo-Gothic inspired fantasy creature, with a coiled body and reptilian head. The windows on the ground floor are protected by metal grating that can be opened. The house possesses seven bedrooms and approximately 280 m² of living space.
