Split-level detached stone house with large garage and garden

The property is conveniently located within easy walking distance of a pretty village with amenities.  The versatile accommodation is nice and light and arranged over three floors.  Viewing is highly recommended.

In the village there is a bank, pharmacy, doctor, butcher, bakery, small supermarket, hairdresser and postoffice all within a few minutes walk from the house so you wouldn’t need to use the car every day if you prefer to stay local. There is a large and very good Intermarche in Domfront (8km) for more comprehensive shopping and the baker in nearby St Front is open on Monday when the Lonlay bakers is closed. The baguette machine outside the Lonlay bakers is stocked on days that they bake for ‘out of hours’ supply.  This property is in the Orne region of Normandy near the Calvados border and is surrounded by wooded hills and valleys that form part of the Normandie-Maine Regional National Park, an area of natural beauty that extends to some 257 000 hectares. The rugged Brittany/Normandy coastline is just over an hour’s drive away and there are several lakes with beaches within half an hour by car. Bagnoles-de-l’Orne, with its spa centre, casino, lake and sports centre, is also within easy reach (23 km).  The UNESCO heritage site of Mont St Michel is 70 km from the property.  It is 64 km from Alençon, the department capital and 225 km from Paris.  The closest ferry port is at Caen Ouistreham (1 hour 15 minutes) and the channel tunnel at Calais is about 4 1/2 hours by car.
