Impressive Normandy Home - Brief Description

Arguably one of the best presented properties I have come across in Lower Normandy. The property manages to combine traditional features with extensive renovation. Also the energy rating for this style of property is as impressive as the property itself.

Essentially you have a four bedroomed property with an attached two bedroomed annexe. The main house boasts 4 bedrooms 3 of which have en-suite facilities and there is also a separate bathroom. The property would be suitable for anyone thinking of offering bed and breakfast (chambre d’hote) in the main house with the annexe having gite potential. It would also suit an extended family with the core family being in the main house and the annexe offering independent accommodation for the elderly relatives with it having a ground floor bedroom.

The current owners have undertaken a complete renovation of the property. Works include a new heating system (aerothermic), new fosse, extensive insulation, rewire (including satellite ports) and decoration. The property is double glazed and has a habitable floor area (main house) of just under 200m2 .

The property has grounds of just under two acres with an array of specimen trees and flower borders. There are several outbuildings which are very pratical and offer additional potential for the property.

The property is situated in a small village in the department of La Manche in Lower Normandy, Its 8 kilometres from Moyon and around 13 km from the town of St Lo.

Its a beautiful setting with the best of both worlds town and country.

There is a main house with a habitable surface area of 210m2 on three floors with an attached double garage. The house is on 3 floors and boasts balconies which are ideal for being used for eating the morning breakfast whilst overlooking the grounds.

In addition to the main house is a detached gite which is very popular and has been rented out for around 24 weeks a year. The location is very popular for exploring Normandy – lots of tourist attractions nearby like Mont St Michel.

The grounds are just under 3 hectares – you ve the peace and tranquility of the countryside with all the amenities of the town on your doorstep – the best of both worlds.
