Smart Equestrian property with 7 acres, menage and stables and superb view

This detached stone house has been extensively modernised and a large extension added to it to create a large light living room with stunning views over the valley and surrounding countryside with bedrooms over.  The property is ideally situated for equestrian enthusiasts as the nearest bridleways start about 500 meters from the house.   The land extends to over nearly 7 acres which is mainly divided into paddocks. It has also had a menage built. The modernisation programme included double glazed windows throughout, oil fired central heating and  a new regulation all water septic tank, and more recently it has been re-decorated, had a new oak staircase, new kitchen and bathroom.  Viewing is highly recommended.

It is situated in a private position within  15 minutes drive from the main local town of Vire with all of its amenities, including cinema, open air market on a Friday, supermarkets, schools etc. and a mainline train station to Paris Montparnasse (approx. 2 1/2 hours away). The property is just 10 minutes from the A84 meaning that the port at Caen is easily under and hour with Cherbourg under 90 mins. The coast at Granville is about 50 minutes away.  The forest of Saint Sever is within a 10 minute drive as is the 18 hole golf course and Lac de la Dathée.
