Superb detached stone house with spacious accommodation over 3 floors with barn, car port and heated swimming pool.

This lovely house has been the subject of extensive, tasteful modernisation including a new roof in 2001, a recent all water septic tank, hardwood double glazed windows and wooden shutters, electric heating and a superb in-ground swimming pool (2016). It stands in grounds of over 1 1/4 acres with several outbuildings.  Viewing is highly recommended.

It is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados,  a few kilometers from Sourdeval, the nearest town. Only a few minutes drive away, the town offers every amenity including two banks and supermarkets. Market day is held every Tuesday morning, as is the livestock market.  The beaches on the west coast are an hour’s drive away and Sourdeval is approximately 80 minutes drive from the port of Caen and an hour and forty minutes from Cherbourg. A little further afield are the D-Day landing beaches, the Mont St Michel.  The Lac de la Dathée, ideal for walking, fishing and boating, and an 18 hole golf course are within 15 minutes drive,  as is the Saint Sever forest.
