Delightful stone house with over an acre and pond

This lovely stone house is hidden away in a rural, farming hamlet within a few minutes drive from the town of Vire.  The accommodation is arranged over 3 floors with light rooms and high ceilings and was renovated by the previous owners between 1998 and 2008.  There is a detached stone outbuilding, in excellent condition, which would be ideal to convert into a gîte, subject to planning.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated about 3kms east from the town of Vire with all amenities including mainline train station to Granville and Paris (approx. 2 hours 40 mins), Supermarkets, Schools, Bowling, 18 hole Golf Course, Lake, Swimming Pool, Skate Park, Gym, Riding School, Hospitals, shops, etc.  Market day is Friday.  The beach at Granville is approximately 50 minutes away.  The ferry ports of Caen (1 hour), Cherbourg, St Malo and Le Havre are within easy driving distances and Calais for the Tunnel is about 4 hours away.
