Beautifully presented family house with landscaped gardens and potential gîte

This lovely house has a stunning garden of just over one acre.  The front windows were all changed in 2018 and the septic tank was replaced in the same year.  The accommodation is light and airy and there is a room, currently used for storage, which would make an ideal ground floor bedroom.  There is an old house in the grounds which would lend itself to being a gîte or annexe for a dependent relative.  It is in a peaceful and private location. Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated in the Martigny area of Grandparigny, in southern Normandy, approximately 10 minutes’ drive from the market town of Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët. The town offers a good range of shops, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants, together with schools, a hospital, an indoor swimming pool and a cinema. Its popular Wednesday morning market is a particular attraction.

The surrounding countryside offers walking and cycling opportunities, with the Véloscénie cycle route passing through Grandparigny. The waterfalls at Mortain, the historic town of Avranches and Mont-Saint-Michel are within easy reach for days out. The location is also convenient for exploring neighbouring Brittany, including Fougères and Saint-Malo. Saint-Malo ferry port is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes away, with alternative ferry connections available from Caen–Ouistreham and Cherbourg.
