Message From The Seller

After purchasing our properties on our first house hunting visit to Normandy in 2002 you could say almost on a whim and without giving it too much thought we then set about renovating what were two almost derelict buildings. Phase one was to make the cottage habitable for use as a holiday home to be enjoyed by ourselves,family and friends. Phase two as we approached retirement was to fully renovate the former watermill for rental as a gite bringing us an income. We completed the work in 2013 and have operated the Gite successfully since then and continue to do so. Now after 20 years and into our 70s we see the future differently and look to enjoy the fruits of our labours. We fell in love with Le Moulin at first site and have loved our wonderful times there but time moves on and so perhaps should we.

Renovated Mill house with gîte and over an acre

The Mill and cottage are predominantly double glazed (except one window in the kitchen.  The properties were re-wired and are both completely renovated.  The Mill has a part slate and part shingle roof.  The property offers an ideal home and income possibility. The Mill is successfully rented out and has a lovely Games Room and bar in the basement. The gardens have been set up to be independent and private and the Mill garden benefits from the sound of the stream.  Viewing is recommended to appreciate this property.

The house is tucked away in a quiet position on the outskirts of a village with local shop, café and bar.  It is equidistant at 7km from Mortain and St Hilaire-du-Harcouët.  The sandy beaches on the west coast of Normandy and the scenic coastal footpaths around the Baie du Mont St Michel are all under an hour’s drive away. The coastal towns and beaches of Northern Brittany are also within easy reach and well worth a day trip. The Golf course near Vire is about 30 minutes drive. The house is about 1 hour 30 minutes drive from Caen and around 2 hours from both Cherbourg and Le Havre, around 3 hours from Dieppe and around 5 hours from Calais.  One of the largest regional markets in Normandy is held in St Hilaire each Wednesday morning.
