Delightful hamlet comprising 2 houses, an apartment, workshop, outbuildings and a landscaped garden

The properties have been completely renovated over the last 25 years with particular attention to the outside landscaping.  There are no neighbours and the properties are surrounded by fields.   Viewing is highly recommended.

Situated in the peaceful countryside close to the village of Saint-Pois in the southern Manche, the properies enjoy an attractive rural setting surrounded by the rolling countryside for which this part of Normandy is renowned.  Saint-Pois offers useful everyday amenities including local shops, bakery, butcher, pharmacy, medical services and a weekly Thursday morning market. Brécey is around 10–15 minutes away, whilst the larger towns of Vire and Avranches are approximately 20–30 minutes away and offer a wider range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and services.  The properties are also conveniently placed for exploring the region, with Granville and the west coast approximately 40–45 minutes away and the world-famous Mont-Saint-Michel around 45–50 minutes away. Excellent road links via the A84 provide straightforward access to Caen and Rennes.

UK travel connections are particularly convenient: Saint-Malo ferry port is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes away, Caen-Ouistreham around 1 hour 30 minutes and Cherbourg approximately 1 hour 45 minutes. The Channel Tunnel at Calais can be reached in approximately 4 hours 15–30 minutes.
