Attractive house with attached gîte in Normandy

The house is situated in a quiet rural hamlet close to the forest of Le Gast and 10 minutes  to the Dominial Forest of Saint-Sever.  The house has been completely renovated by the present owners to a high specification and it now benefits from pvc windows, light and airy accommodation and super views over the surrounding countryside.  There is a connecting double door to the attached gîte which has formerly been rented out for £375 per week.  The property stands in the middle of a well-maintained garden and there is a large detached garage with storage over and an old bread oven.  There is a large parking and turning area.  Viewing recommended.

The property is situated close to a village centre, bar/restaurant and shop.  15 minutes drive to the market town of Vire with all amenities including mainline train station to Granville and Paris (approx. 2 hours 40 mins), Supermarkets, Schools, Bowling, 18 hole Golf Course, Lake, Swimming Pool, Skate Park, Gym, Riding School, Hospitals, shops, etc. Market day is Friday.
