Large country house with over an acre in Normandy

This spacious country house was renovated by the present owners in 1979 and would now benefit from further modernisation.  There is a large attached garage with loft space over which is accessible from the first floor landing and would lend itself to conversion.  The house stands in a quiet rural hamlet overlooking fields.  Viewing is highly recommended.

It is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados,  3.5 kilometers from Sourdeval, the nearest town. Only a few minutes drive away, the town offers every amenity including two banks and supermarkets. Market day is held every Tuesday morning, as is the livestock market.  The beaches on the west coast are an hour’s drive away and Sourdeval is approximately 80 minutes drive from the port of Caen and an hour and forty minutes from Cherbourg. A little further afield are the D-Day landing beaches, the Mont St Michel.  The Lac de la Dathée, ideal for walking, fishing and boating, and an 18 hole golf course are within 15 minutes drive,  as is the Saint Sever forest.
