Super detached character Farmhouse in Normandy with gîte

The house has been modernised and improved by the present owner with the creation of additional bathrooms and renovation of the gîte.  The roof was replaced in 2007 and the wiring was overhauled in 2002.  There is a traditional Farmhouse kitchen with fireplace, plenty of exposed beams and stone walls.  The house is full of character.  Viewing is recommended.

The property is located on the Manche/Orne border in the Normandy region of France between the villages of Beauchêne and Ger. The UNESCO Heritage site of Mont St Michel is 58 km away and the coast at Granville is about 1 1/2 hours’ drive.  It is about 25 minutes to a 9 hole golf course Golf De Bagnoles – Route de Domfront at Bagnoles sur Orne.  The ferry ports are within easy reach – 1 hour to Caen Ouistreham, 4 1/2 hours to Calais, 2 1/2 hours to Le Harvre port or Cherbourg. It is about 2 hours 15 mins to Paris by train.  The pretty village of Lonlay l’Abbaye is about 6 km away.  More extensive facilities can be found in the historic town of Domfront, which is a 15 minute drive and the town of Flers with a swimming pool, bowling, restaurants, shops and schools (about 10 minutes drive) or Vire (15 minutes drive).
