Detached house with annexe and half an acre

This house is situated in quiet rural hamlet.  Over the last 13 years the owners have considerably upgraded the main property which has been re-wired, the bathrooms have been replaced and had new plumbing, new floors and walls and new insulation.  The woodburner has had a new flue liner, new laminate flooring has been fitted and the house has been re-decorated.  There is an internal connecting door to the attached gîte which is used for storage at present.  It requires re-decorating and could be used as an extension to the existing accommodation or as a self-contained gîte or annex.  Viewing is highly recommended.

It is situated a 5 minute drive from the bustling market town of Sourdeval with bars, restaurants and shops. Extensive recreational facilities can be found nearby including local waterfalls and walking clubs, canoeing and outdoor sports. The beaches on the west coast are an hours drive away and it is approximately 80 minutes drive from the port of Caen and an hour and forty minutes from Cherbourg. Normandy landing beaches are easily accessible. Suisse Normande and Spa towns 35 minutes drive. Choices of Golf Clubs with open availability for non members. Sports centre with pool and slides, Go Karting and board park less than 15 minutes.   The nearest train station is at Vire (8 miles) from where you can take a fast train to Paris.
