A rare chance to own a historic 15th-Century listed manoir surrounded by woodland in the heart of Laval

Nestled at the end of a tree-lined drive, this historic manoir offers a rare blend of history, charm, and opportunity. Framed by two elegant pavilions, and surrounded by over 2 hectares of private woodland, the property enjoys a tranquil setting just moments from the heart of Laval.

Dating from the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, the manoir is rich in character and heritage. Period features have been beautifully preserved, including stone staircases and an impressive granite fireplace. The property was completely re-roofed in 2025, in full accordance with historical monument regulations,

Currently operating as a successful B&B, the property could be reimagined as a grand private residence or converted into a collection of distinctive apartments.

Ideally located, Paris is just over an hour away by train and an international airport at Rennes (80 km) provides regular flights to the UK and across Europe.

A rare opportunity to acquire a piece of French history in an enviable location.

A paved stone terrace leads to the entrance, opening onto a magnificent reception room of approximately 78 m², bathed in natural light from large windows and centred around a striking open granite fireplace. This impressive space leads to a generous dining room (43 m²) and an additional sitting room (12 m²), offering versatile areas for both formal entertaining and relaxed living. A well-proportioned family kitchen (34 m²), complemented by a utility room, completes the ground floor.

An original stone spiral staircase rises to the upper levels, where the first floor features a striking wood-panelled bedroom, along with a shower room and WC. Three additional bedrooms are located on the next level, each with its own en-suite facilities and fireplace, combining comfort with historic charm. The third floor hosts three more en-suite bedrooms, while a substantial attic provides excellent potential for further accommodation.

In addition, four independent en-suite bedrooms are located within the two courtyard pavilions, each accessed via external stone steps—ideal for guest accommodation or continued hospitality use. The basement retains its original cellars, including one with a vaulted ceiling, adding to the property’s authentic character.

Outside, the manoir is encircled by its original (now non-functional) moat and complemented by a lake with ducks and moorhens and approximately 2.2 hectares of surrounding woodland. Several outbuildings provide useful storage and additional potential.
