Property Overview
The main property is a delightful gîte complex, which includes a principal house and a tastefully converted barn.

The centerpiece of this charming estate is a heated outdoor swimming pool, thoughtfully designed to adhere to French safety standards, providing a relaxing haven for residents and guests alike.

All three properties have been extensively renovated, blending traditional Normandy architectural elements with modern comfort and style. Surrounded by well-established gardens, including walnut and fruit trees, this small hamlet harmoniously combines rustic elegance with contemporary living.


Two-Bedroom House: Main Dwelling
The owners? residence, a beautifully appointed two-bedroom house, is situated on 0.2351 hectares of manicured grounds, with rolling lawns bordered by mature shrubs and fruit-bearing trees. Originally a historic stone structure, the house has been thoughtfully expanded using authentic Normandy stone and granite. The house features a blend of solid oak and tiled flooring throughout, enhancing its inviting character.

Interior (Ground Floor): The lounge is the original heart of the home and retains its historic charm with exposed beams, an original fireplace now fitted with a wood-burning stove, and an antique staircase that adds to its appeal. This space truly is the perfect setting to cuddle up in front of a roaring fire with a glass of wine on a cold winters day.

The kitchen showcases a handcrafted oak design that complements the traditional style of the house, offering both beauty and practicality. The design features a range cooker, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, plus ample storage cupboards and worktop space, providing all the space culinary enthusiasts need to cook up a feast. The kitchen seamlessly connects with the stunning extension. This space offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside via the triple aspect windows.
