Normandy, Manche, Sourdeval, France

Detached house to renovate with several outbuildings, 1.25 acres and superb views

The property stands at the end of a "no through road", with stunning views to the south.  It requires complete renovation.  The accommodation could be extended to the east or west elevations or into the loft space.  There is an established orchard and several outbuildings.   Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential of this property.

It is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados,  a few kilometers from Sourdeval, the nearest town. Only a few minutes drive away, the town offers every amenity including two banks and supermarkets. Market day is held every Tuesday morning, as is the livestock market.  The major town of Vire is well served by shops, restaurants, supermarkets and a hospital and is about a 20 minute drive.  The beaches on the west coast are an hour's drive away and Sourdeval is approximately 80 minutes drive from the port of Caen which is served by regular Brittany Ferry crossings, particularly Portsmouth but also other UK south coast ports and an hour and forty minutes from Cherbourg. A little further afield are the D-Day landing beaches and the Mont St Michel.  The Lac de la Dathée, ideal for walking, fishing and boating, and an 18 hole golf course are within 15 minutes drive,  as is the Saint Sever forest. Within a 20 minute drive of the property is an exceptionally good restaurant Le Moulin de Jean.
