Beautiful Manor House with 7 bedrooms, large garden and garaging for 4 cars

This beautiful Manor House has been renovated over the last 20 years but would now benefit from some TLC to restore it to its former glory.  The spacious accommodation would lend itself to use as a B&B or Boutique Hotel.  There are some beautiful original features and attractive internal doors.  It stands in a sleepy village and enjoys super views.  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.
