Normandy, Manche, Villedieu-les-Poêles, France

Attractive stone house with well maintained gardens and lovely views set in over an acre of land

This property comprises a substantial detached house which has been lovingly restored by the present owners.  It is in excellent condition throughout and there is the opportunity to renovate the loft space to create additional bedrooms, if requred.   It stands in a quiet rural hamlet with one neighbour and fields surrounding the rest.   Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated just outside the town of Villedieu-les-Poêles,  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 and Bayeux 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.  The major town of Avranches is a 20 minute drive.
