Attractive detached stone house with 3/4 acre garden

This property was renovated in 2001/2 at which time it was re-wired, had new plumbing, a new kitchen and bathroom fitted, had electric heating installed, new shutters and a woodburner fitted.  The hot water cylinder and shower were fitted in 2019 and 2020.  It is in a rural hamlet, surrounded by its own garden, with views over the valley.  Viewing is highly recommended.

This lovely house is situated less than 90 minutes from Cherbourg and  1 hour to Caen. The nearest beach is at Granville which is 25 minutes to the west and Mt St. Michel, Bayeux and Avranches are all within an hour’s drive. The Normandy Beaches, Dinan and Rennes take a little longer and Monet’s Garden at Giverney is a comfortable day trip out.   Villedieu-les-Poêles is a pretty town with many places to visit, including an indoor swimming pool, a bell foundry, a lace and copper museum and copper workshops. The market on Tuesday mornings is excellent. There are plenty of places to walk in the area.
