Detached house to renovate with outbuildings and over 1.5 acres

This detached house stands at the end of a “no-through road” in a quiet rural hamlet with views over its field.  The accommodation is currently on the ground floor only but there is a first floor ready to create additional accommodation (stairs currently in adjoining barn) and the ground floor accommodation could be extended into the additional barn, subject to planning permission.  There is over one and a half acres of land in front and to the side of the property – it is fairly level and has a stream running through.  Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential of this property.

The property is approximately 5 minutes away from a small town with amenities including a bank, supermarkets, restaurants, newsagents, doctor’s surgery, vet’s surgery and a school.  The larger towns of St Hilaire du Harcouët and Avranches are within easy reach for weekly markets.  It is situated approximately 30 minutes drive away from the coast, 1 hour from Dinard airport and 1 hour and 15 minutes from the ferry port at Caen Ouistreham.
