Normandy, Orne, Tinchebray, France

Pretty stone property with lovely views close to amenities

This house has been owned by the present owners for about 35 years.  It was renovated and extended in the 1990's and offers surprisingly spacious accommodation over 3 floors.  It benefits from double glazed windows, central heating and 2 woodburners.  There is a stone patio to the rear of the property which enjoys views over the garden and surrounding farmland.  There is the possibility of 5 bedrooms, over 3 storeys. Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is midway between Vire and Flers (both a 20 minute drive) which both offer all major facilities, including daily trains to Paris, close to a small pretty village.  The small medieval town of Tinchebray is a couple of minutes' drive with shops, bars, banks, schools, doctors' surgeries.  The ferry port at Caen Ouistreham is 1 hour's drive, 1 1/2 hours from Dinard, Cherbourg is 1 1/2 hour's drive and Calais is 3 1/2 hour's drive.  The airport can be reached in under 90 minutes.  It is located within easy reach of Mont St Michel, the D-day Beaches and Bayeux.
