Medieval house with character features in Normandy
Walking into this house is like stepping back in time but with modern day comforts. There is a small but charming interior courtyard which gives access to a separate lounge and two bedrooms and bathroom - ideal for someone wishing to do Air B&B. There are plenty of exposed beams, wood panelling and exposed stone walls and the layout is versatile and a bit quirky! Ideal lock and leave holiday home or full time home within a short walk of all amenities. Viewing is highly recommended.
The property is situated in the north west of France, in the department of Orne in Normandy.
