Ideal home and income – 3 apartments for sale in Normandy with double garage and garden.

This property offers a home and income possibility as it comprises 3 self-contained apartments.  The ground floor apartment is currently used as the Owners’ accommodation and was the most recently converted.  Previously it was a stables/coach house which has now been renovated to a high standard to provide large 3 bedroom ground floor apartment.  The property benefits from oil fired central heating, off road parking and a double garage.  There is space to create another two apartments in the very spacious loft which  has a small dormer window, and several rooflights (subject to reactivation of previous planning consent).   This is the ideal property to enjoy for your personal use whilst the two first floor apartments pay all your annual costs or as an income.   Viewing is highly recommended.
