Part of a historic Manor House with outbuildings in Normandy

The property is believed originally to have been built in 1561 and used as a refuge.  It was rebuilt after a fire in the last century.  It is semi-detached to the neighbouring property which still has intact turrets.  There is a pleasant outlook over open fields and there are several outbuildings.  The second floor of the house could easily be converted into additional bedrooms or one large master suite with en-suite bathroom and dressing room.  There is further potential to renovate the old detached stone house in the garden.  Viewing is highly recommended.
