Normandy, Manche, Villedieu-les-Poêles, France

Beautifully renovated cottage with stone house to renovate and large garden

This property comprises an immaculate one bedroom cottage and a large stone house to finish renovating in a garden of nearly one acre, and pretty views across the valley.  Viewing is highly recommended.

This lovely house is situated less than 90 minutes from Cherbourg and  1 hour to Caen. The nearest beach is at Granville which is 25 minutes to the west and Mont Saint Michel, Bayeux and Avranches are all within an hour’s drive. The Normandy Beaches, Dinan and Rennes take a little longer and Monet’s Garden at Giverney is a comfortable day trip out.   Villedieu-les-Poêles is a pretty town with many places to visit, including an indoor swimming pool, a bell foundry, a lace and copper museum and copper workshops. The market on Tuesday mornings is excellent. There are plenty of places to walk in the area.
