Quality detached house with several outbuildings and 1.25 acres

This substantial country house was renovated from 1980 onwards and offers comfortable family accommodation on 2 floors.  There is potential to use the ground floor study as a bedroom.  A small detached house is included with the property and would make a small gîte once renovated.  The land surrounds the property and is well maintained with fenced paddocks and a pretty garden.  Viewing is highly recommended.

This village house  is a few kilometers away from the  busy market town of Villedieu-les-Poêles.  The nearest beach is at Granville which is 25 minutes to the west and UNESCO heritage site of Mont St. Michel, Bayeux and Avranches are all within an hour’s drive. The house is within easy driving distance of the A84 motorway access at Villedieu-les-Poêles or Pont Farcy .  Vire is about 22km distant to the east.   It is situated in the Manche department (Normandy region) in the north of France about 25 km from Saint-Lo, the department capital, and 252 km from Paris which can be reached by rail at nearby Villedieu-les-Poêles in approx. 2 hours and 50 minutes.  The ferry port at Caen Ouistreham is the closest and can be reached in less than 1 hour, with Cherbourg Octeville, Saint Malo and Le Havre within easy reach.
