Normandy, Manche, Brécey, France

Detached 5 bedroom property with South facing terrace and studio apartment

This house is situated within easy walking distance of a small village and was built in 1986.  It benefits from versatile accommodation which gives the opportunity to live entirely on the ground floor.  The garden is well maintained with various seating areas.  It was re-wired in 2017.  The studio apartment has previously been let and has independent access.  It is above the car port.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated near a small French village with a local store, small restaurant and Patisserie.  St Hilaire, Brecey and Mortain are all just 10-15 minutes drive away, and all have either indoor or open air swimming pools. A 20 minute drive will take you to the larger town of Avranches, and Le Mont St Michel and the beautiful beaches are just 35-45 minutes away.   The nearest Port is at Saint Malo 66km or Caen Ouistreham – 75 miles.
