Château in a small village with amenities in Normandy, set in beautiful walled gardens of over an acre.

The Château is mentioned as far back as the original sale of the building plot in 1882 by a Marquis.  The current owners have had the property in their family for over 20 years.  The rooms are spacious with high ceilings and versatile living accommodation and would lend itself to continued use as a family home or for a Bed and Breakfast.   Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the Château and the gardens.

The property  is ideally situated within walking distance  of the village centre with amenities including post office, supermarket and school, but in a quiet position.  The house is about 1 1/4 hours drive from the ferry port at Caen and 15 minutes from Vire.  The nearest beach is at Granville which is about 50 minutes drive to the west and Mont St Michel, Bayeux and the landing beaches are within easy driving distance.  The forest of Saint-Sever is about a 10 minute drive, together with the Lac de la Dathée and an 18 hole golf course.
