Renovated mill with versatile accommodation

This delightful property has been completely renovated and extended in 2000.  It offers spacious and versatile accommodation over 3 floors and each elevation of the property has its own style and character.  It benefits from plenty of exposed beams and stone, double glazed windows with shutters and it was re-wired in 2000.  There is the possibility of creating a self-contained annexe or Air B&B room.  There are plenty of barns including 2 car ports arranged around a tarmac courtyard.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The house is situated in the Orne department of Basse Normandie in the north west of France. The area is within the Normandy National Parks region and is near a village with  pretty with a hairdresser, bar, bakery and small shop (approx. 4.5km).   The nearest major town with all amenities, including a mainline train station with direct access to Paris is at Flers which is 10 km away or the Medieval town of Domfront (about 11 km) which caters to all every day needs, including doctor’s surgery, pharmacies, schools, shops, bars and restaurants.  The renowned Spa town of Bagnoles de l’Orne is about a 30 minute drive from the property with lake, restaurants, and 9-hole Golf Course.  The property is 96 km away from the ferry port at Caen Ouistreham, the closest port, and just over 4 hours’ drive from Calais.
