Beautiful detached stone house with part-renovated 5 bedroom barn for sale in Normandy.  Surrounded by over 2 acres of its own land with other outbuildings and no neighbours. Superb views over the Valley.

The property is in a quiet rural position with gently sloping garden and orchard, at the end of a no through road with no close neighbours.  It has undergone a programme of complete renovation to the main farmhouse and now offers very comfortable family living accommodation with an open plan living space on the ground floor and 4 en-suite bedrooms.    Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this beautiful property.

It is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados,  a few kilometers from Sourdeval, the nearest town. Only a few minutes drive away, the town offers every amenity including two banks and supermarkets. Market day is held every Tuesday morning, as is the livestock market.  The beaches on the west coast are an hour’s drive away and Sourdeval 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 15 minutes drive,  as is the Saint Sever forest.
