Stunning detached house with annex, double garage and garden of nearly 1.5 acres

This property was renovated and extended approximately 20 years ago, with the original stone house in the middle of the property.  It stands in a quiet, tucked away, rural hamlet. There is a paddock with room for a pony, as well as generous sized double garage with a loft over.  A particular featue of the property is the light and airy annex which would be ideal as a self-contained unit for a relative or for rental as a gîte. Viewing is highly recommended.

Situated in the Normandy countryside , the property is within approximately 10–15 minutes’ drive of Brécey, where there are shops, a supermarket, healthcare services, schools and a popular Friday morning market. The nearby Sée valley offers opportunities for countryside walks and cycling, while Brécey also has sports facilities, a lake and a seasonal outdoor swimming pool.  Avranches, approximately 20–25 minutes away, provides a wider range of shopping and services, together with hospital facilities. The location is well placed for exploring the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, with Mont-Saint-Michel itself around 45 minutes away and the sandy beaches of Jullouville and Carolles approximately 50 minutes away. The coastal town of Granville offers a historic upper town, harbour, restaurants and boat trips to the Chausey Islands.  For onward travel, Villedieu-les-Poêles railway station is approximately 25–30 minutes away and offers direct services to Paris Montparnasse. The A84 provides connections towards Rennes and Caen. The ferry terminal at Saint-Malo is around 1 hour 20 minutes away, Caen–Ouistreham approximately 1 hour 40 minutes and Cherbourg around 2 hours. Rennes and Caen airports are both approximately 1 hour 30 minutes away, making this a convenient base for enjoying rural Normandy with access to towns, the coast and travel connections.
