Overview:
Historic 17th-century hôtel particulier
Three principal residential floors
Original cellars, attics and tower access
Landscaped courtyard and walled rear garden
Substantial 19th-century dependency
Numerous original architectural features retained
Among the most notable spaces are the Grand Salon, the original sweeping staircase, and the principal bedroom suite, all representative of the period.
Entrance & Courtyard:
Accessed through carriageway gates, the property opens to an inner courtyard with covered off-street parking and planted borders, providing a calm and private setting in the centre of town.
Ground Floor – Formal Reception Rooms
The entrance foyer immediately reflects the scale of the house, with a granite floor, decorative ceilings and a sweeping original staircase rising through the core of the building.
Two principal 17th-century reception rooms are arranged on this level:
Grand Salon (44.49 m2) A light-filled room with floor-to-ceiling panelling, neoclassical columns, Versailles parquet flooring, ornate ceiling mouldings and a marble fireplace. Six tall French windows with shutters overlook the courtyard and gardens.
Dining Room (35.22 m2) High ceilings, original wall panelling with built-in china cabinets, marble fireplace and double doors opening to the grand salon.
The kitchen (20.34 m2) is located off the foyer and overlooks the courtyard, complemented by a back kitchen/laundry room (8.68 m2) housing the town-gas central heating system (installed 2022) with energy-recuperation.
A hallway leads to a generous ground-floor bathroom (12.01 m2) with roll-top bath, separate shower and WC.
Cellars:
Stone steps descend to extensive ventilated cellars, including a wine cellar extending beneath the house and offering independent street access, as well as the original room containing the natural water source.
First Floor – Principal Bedrooms:
The first-floor landing features decorative ironwork and provides access to four well-proportioned bedrooms:
Principal Bedroom (34.67 m2) An impressive room with curved architectural detailing, original flooring, oak panelling, marble fireplace and double-aspect French windows.
Bedroom (25.02 m2) with private shower room and separate WC
Boudoir / Bedroom (12.21 m2) with fireplace and panelling
Bedroom (20.55 m2) with ensuite shower room and WC
A former bathroom now serves as a dressing room (10.17 m2), with plumbing retained.
Second Floor – Family & Guest Accommodation
Originally servants’ quarters, this level now provides further accommodation comprising:
Two additional bedrooms
A salon (27.29 m2) with double-aspect views across Mayenne and the gardens
Shower room with WC
Study and storage areas
Stairs lead to insulated attics (52.52 m2) arranged in two sections, with access to the rooftop cupola.
Courtyard & Gardens:
The sunny inner courtyard is bordered by planted beds and provides access to the walled rear garden, which includes lawned areas, shaded seating, water features, a summer house and mature trees and shrubs including 22 varieties of roses, creating a peaceful outdoor space in a central location.
Dependency & Outbuildings:
A substantial 19th-century dependency (circa 1815), connected to water and electricity, offers significant potential for restoration and adaptation as guest accommodation, workspaces or ancillary living areas, subject to the necessary approvals.
A former stable building stands at the far end of the courtyard.
Location & Transport Links:
30 km to Laval tgv (Paris approx. 1h15)
131 km to Caen–Ouistreham ferry
437 km to Calais (LeShuttle)
A distinguished historic townhouse offering generous accommodation, gardens and outbuildings in a central Mayenne setting.
