Beautiful detached stone house with attached gîte and over 5 acres.

The property is in excellent condition throughout and benefits from wood framed double glazed windows, light and spacious family accommodation and an equally well presented gîte which has let for 55€ per night not including breakfast. One of the paddocks has a recent septic tank and a small building with water, electricity and internet laid on for a small shower/toilet block (to finish) and camping for 5.  This is not in use.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated in the south west of Normandy near the borders of the Manche and Calvados.  It is tucked away in a peaceful position within easy access of the historic town of Lonlay l’Abbaye (3k).  Nearby Domfront with its medieval centre and Mortain with its petite and grande cascades are thriving market towns where excellent shopping facilities, restaurants and bars are available. It is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados.  The beaches on the west coast are an hour’s drive away and the property  is approximately 80 minutes drive from the port of Caen and an hour and forty minutes from Cherbourg. A little further afield are the D-Day landing beaches, the Mont St Michel.  The Lac de la Dathée, ideal for walking, fishing and boating, and an 18 hole golf course are within 20 minutes drive,  as is the Saint Sever forest.
