Three-story historic town house with courtyard in La Flèche

Property overview

Located in a peaceful and historic town in the Pays de la Loire, this three-story historic town house enjoys a sought-after location on a tree-lined boulevard, just near the Grand-Rue. It comprises four bedrooms, one bathroom and 130 m² of living space, on a 30 m² plot. The courtyard garden provides pleasant outdoor space, while the modernization work still required is reflected in the asking price of €136,500.

Main features

The house is spacious and bright. The large living room connects to the dining room through an arched opening. French doors provide access to a conservatory and then to the courtyard garden. The property also has an attic, central heating, period and character features, internet fiber, a connection to the mains sewer system, electricity and running water.

The property includes a courtyard, a garden, an outbuilding, a terrace or patio, as well as ample on-street parking. It also offers renovation, conversion and rental potential, particularly for use as a holiday cottage.

Renovation and conversion potential

The kitchen is spacious, but it needs to be fitted out to meet current standards. The attic offers the possibility of opening up the ceiling height, showcasing the beams and installing Velux-style roof windows, depending on the proposed project.

Plumbing is already installed in a room on the second floor, making it possible to consider creating an additional bathroom.

The outbuilding in the courtyard has the electricity and plumbing needed to create an independent laundry room.
