This is an interesting property which will tick search criteria boxes for many buyers. You have the best of both worlds in that its in a rural setting but only 2 kilometres from Barenton which has a good range of shops and amenities. The property is built of stone and is detached in grounds of about half an acre. This could be a holiday home or a main residence.
The property is situated in a rural setting with nice views over typical Normandy countryside. The layout of the detached stone cottage Barenton is as follows
Approached via a quiet country lane with minimal traffic.
Ground Floor
Front door leading to entrance hall with dining room – lounge on your left with kitchen off this. The lounge diner is dual aspect so is nice and bright and has a feature fireplace with open fire. Nice to have light coming in front and back it makes the house so bright and not as dark as alot of traditional stone cottages tend to be. The kitchen is well presented with a ample storage and units. There is a door off the kitchen into the attached outbuilding – this is ripe for conversion (subject to planning) – see photo – lots of scope to expand here.
First Floor
Two good sized double bedrooms and a separate shower room with wc and handbasin.
Outbuildings
In addition to the two bed house there is an attached garage to your left – the ceiling has been floored out and this has work to finish to create a first floor area above the garage. On the right hand side is an attached barn (also accessed by the kitchen) again lots of scope here to increase the overall floor area if required.
Grounds
The property is set in grounds of around half an acre – rural setting with nice views.
The property does benefit from central heating. Another plus of the property is the top floor – ripe for conversion (subject to planning).
Summing up – Best of both worlds in that you are in the country yet walkable to large village with amenities. You ve got a habitable cottage with expansion possibilities on either side. Well place to explore Normandy. Holiday home or main residence – or as often happens….starts of as a holiday home and becomes a main residence as you fall in love with the area.
