Detached stone house with over 4 acres in rural hamlet

This is the first time the house has been on the market in 27 years.  During that time the current owners have had a new roof, new double glazed tilt and turn pvc windows which were installed in 2004, an all water septic tank, copex liners for both woodburners and woodworm treatment.  The property would now benefit from some further modernisation.  There is over 4 acres of adjoining land with a stream and a small area of woodland.  Completion will not take place before the 7th April 2022.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The market town of Condé sur Noireau is a 10 minute drive and has all amenities. Ideally situated, it is situated on & close by  to several large rambling routes, which trail through the wonderfully unspoilt Normandy countryside. At just over an hour from the coast, the property is within easy reach of the Normandy landing beaches, Mont St Michel and many other attractions that Normandy has to offer.

The house is situated in the Suisse Normande countryside. A beautiful area of rivers, valleys, woodland , spotted Normandy Cows & cider orchards, offering a large range of activities for the outdoors including walking, cycling, fishing, canoeing.  The local village of Pontecoulant is a 3 minute drive , the Château, a 5 minute walk is open during the holiday season.  Condé sur Noireau, less than 10 minute drive has a bustling  ‘foodie’ market on Thursday mornings and offers plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as a good supermarket, boulangeries, tabac etc.  Mont Cerisy Belle Etoile has a ruined Chateau, bombed in the Second World War, a great assault course for children and adults too, and a beautiful rhododendron walk.  Flers, a twenty-minute drive south, is a bustling town with good shopping facilities.  The UNESCO heritage site of Mont Saint Michel is a 1 hour 40 minute drive.  The Normandy landing beaches and the coast are about an hour’s drive from the property.  There are plenty of options for travel to the property with Cross Channel ferries: Portsmouth – Ouistreham (Brittany Ferries) 1-hour drive, Portsmouth – Le Havre (Brittany Ferries) 1-hour 45-minutes, Portsmouth – Cherbourg (Brittany Ferries) 1-hour 45-minutes,  Dover – Calais (various operators) 4-hours.  The Euro tunnel: Folkestone – Calais 4-hours.
