Large secluded child friendly secure garden for badminton, football and general outside living. We also have a games room for table tennis and darts.
Fye is a small peaceful village with all usual amenities and the town of Alencon 10 minutes away has larger hypermarkets and tourist activities. The market town of La Fresney sur Sarthe is within 3 miles and has all typical characteristics you would expect from a rural French town. There are forests and lakes close to Fye which provide ideal opportunity for a relaxing holiday.
We bought this barn to renovate in 2004 as we have lots of French friends in the area which we love.
