Detached stone house to finish extending and renovating with a pretty garden

This old Farmworker’s cottage is believed to have been built in about 1850 and it  has potential to extend into the attached lean-to on the ground floor and the first floor loft.  It has a recent, up to date, septic tank, a new electricity fuseboard and a thermodynamic water heater.  It is habitable as it is but offers potential for improvements.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is in a rural hamlet just 3.5km from the small town of Le Teilleul with its amenities including small supermarket, garage, optician, pharmacy, lawnmower repair shop, hairdresser, banks, library, veterinary surgeon, bars (including English/French bar that has regular events in French and English).  Further shopping can be found at Mortain (17 km) and Domfront (25 km) and St Hilaire du Harcouët (12 km). The ferry port of Caen-Ouistreham is 1 hour 40 minutes away, St Malo is 1 hour away.  Calais and the Euro Tunnel are approximately a 5 hour drive. The D-Day Landing beaches are about 1 hour and 30 minutes’ drive and it is about 35 minutes to the Mont-Saint-Michel.
