Attractive detached house with 1 1/4 acre garden and barn
This house has been renovated by the present owner over the last 4 years, but will require finishing. There is room to extend into the loft space (photos in details from before insulation was put in), subject to planning. It stands in a quiet rural hamlet, surrounded by its own gardens. There are two pleasant seating areas, one of which has a water feature. The large detached barn would lend itself to conversion into a gîte, if required and subject to planning. Alternatively it offers dry storage. Viewing is recommended.
The property is situated in a rural hamlet with easy access to the historic market towns of Tinchebray and the major town of Flers. Tinchebray is a small town where there are excellent shopping facilities, restaurants and bars are available. It is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados. The beaches on the west coast are an hours drive away and the property is approximately 80 minutes drive from the port of Caen and an hour and forty minutes from Cherbourg. A little further afield are the D-Day landing beaches and the Mont St Michel. An 18 hole golf course and the Saint-Sever forest are within 30 minutes drive.
