Detached country house with potential B&B or Gîte and nearly 3/4 acre, 15 minutes from the Coast

This house has been modernised by the current owners to offer bright and spacious accommodation.  There is the option of using one or both of the downstairs bedrooms as B&B rooms or an annexe if required. It would also be suitable for those wishing to live entirely on the ground floor.  A particular feature of the property is the lounge with its exposed beams.  Water and waste pipes are in place in case a new buyer wishes to make this room into a kitchen.  There is an old stone bakery which could also be renovated into a gîte, subject to planning.  It is situated in a pleasant rural hamlet with a large garden.  It has had some new flooring, drylining and insulation, plumbing, bathrooms and electricity. Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is conveniently placed within minutes of  shops and amenities.  The pretty market and tourist town of Villedieu-les-Poêles is 10 minutes away with mainline trains to Paris (approx. 2 hours 50 mins) and motorway access to the A84.  Gavray-sur-Sienne is 8.4km away.   It is 1 hour 10 minutes away from Caen Ouistreham Ferry port and 1 hour 20 minutes from Cherbourg.   The UNESCO heritage site of Mont Saint Michel is 40 minutes drive.    It is 15 minutes away from the coast at Granville.
