If you want to live in a large house within walking distance to a town which offers everything, and set in a leafy, tranquil area, then this is the house for you.
The house was built 400 years ago and is mainly of Granite with additional parts added at a later date. The House can be split into two dwellings very easily, if you are looking to rent part of the house or for an annex for additional family members, or left as it is for a large family.
The property is approached via wooden gates to a driveway, and the house will be found to the left. There is ample space to park at least 3 vehicles, unless you are a garage person, and for you there is the opportunity to park in a garage.
I will describe the property as I walk through the house, as follows:-
Interior: (161.2m²) liveable area, size of building approximately (200m²)
Ground floor:
Porch / Veranda: (6.1m²) entry to the house is via this room which has a large window on 2 walls, floor is tiled, from here a glazed door leads to………….

There is a window with shutter, radiator and the floor is tiled, the tiles matching the hallway. There is an internal door to the Utility Room.
Door 2: Utility Room (14.7m²) a very useful room which houses a built-in oven, washing machine, a range of base and eye level units used for storage, the central heating boiler is also located here, which provides central heating and hot water for the house. There is a radiator and the floor is tiled. There is a window (overlooking a small garden room), this houses the Oil Tank for the heating, so there is no smell in the house from the fuel.

Exterior: (3128m²)
Mainly laid to lawn with numerous trees, shrubs and mini hedges creating different areas, the whole area is really tranquil and it is hard to imagine you are a stone’s throw from the town centre.
There is an area which could be used to install a swimming pool (in-ground or above ground). Power and water are available here. There are lots of areas to create a vegetable garden without interfering with the main garden and its beauty.
Garage 1: (25m²) currently used as storage for the mower and other tools, this has electrical power and a door at the back gives access to the side garden for maintenance, etc.

The house overall does need some refreshing and a roof repair will be necessary (the owner has been quoted €20,000 for the repair of the roof), this of course is reflected in the price.
This house offers you a substantial property in a wonderful location which is hard to beat.
In Moncoutant there are several Restaurants (some 5 star), cafes, 2 boutiques, 2 Chemists, a Post office, 2 Boulangers, a bank, newsagents, photographic shop, a Poodle Parlour for your pets, a small supermarket, Super U (a large Supermarket offering cheap fuel), 2 Hairdressers, a clinic, a Doctors’ surgery, swimming pool, a cinema, car repairs / maintenance and a Motor Bike shop, there are probably more “things”, but safe to say there is a lot to keep you occupied.

There is also an International Fishing Park (Pescalis) with several fishing lakes, areas to picnic and a beautiful restaurant with “al fresco” dining facing one of the lakes. There is also a bar to enjoy a coffee or of course something stronger. On a Sunday there is a Farmers Market selling lots of local produce.
If you wish to be “Tarzan and Jane” and try your skills at “sailing” through the trees or rope climbing and lots more there is an Adventure Park catering for all ages, also at this venue if a Crazy Golf for the less energetic. After all this you can enjoy a drink, snack or ice cream at the onsite cafeteria.
