La Breudiere was once a small farm near Villaines la Juhel in the Pays de la Loire. It is located in the mayenne departement - see links
At some time in the past it was split into two properties that are either side of a small lane that leads down to a field. See the plan page.
The property had one cold tap when we bought it. Although there was an electricity cable to the house, the electrics had not been used for a long time and the insulation on wires had long since been corroded.
Amazingly when we asked EDF to restore power to the house, they did. Despite being asked not to, they connected it to the fuse board which was to be replaced a few days later.
All the lights worked including those where the roof was missing and water was dripping in and where there was no insulation on the wires.
This will be part of our lounge one day.
This is the bread oven (four a pain). Unusual in that not many remaining bread ovens still have the door. As part of the purchase, we had to promise the farmer that we would retain the door.
This room is now the utility room and has cabinets, washing machine and dishwasher etc. The only thing that hasn't been done yet is the renovation of the bread oven.
