Detached stone house with small gîte and over 3.5 acres in Normandy

This detached house has been renovated and enjoys superb views over the surrounding countryside.  It stands on the edge of a quiet rural hamlet in its grounds which extend to over 2.5 acres.  The property has been completely renovated from a barn in the last 6 years including re-wiring, a new septic tank, new roof, new hardwood framed double glazed windows, new floors, etc. The property is hard-wired for electric heating and there is also all the pipework in place for underfloor central heating on the ground floor – this could be run of a woodburner with back boiler.  There is the additional benefit of a small guest cottage or gîte (former bread oven built on a stone basewith timber clad walls) which requires some modernising and part of the roof to be overhauled or replaced.   Viewing is highly recommended.
