Description
Spacious detached house with versatile accommodation, garden and no neighbours
This property has been under the same ownership over the last 16 years. It offers extremely versatile accommodation with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The master bedroom with en-suite shower room is on the ground floor. The layout of the accommodation and bedrooms would lend itself to a large family group. There is a manageable sized garden. Some of the doors and windows and beams have been replaced and the property has been treated for woodworm. It is move in ready. There is room to create another en-suite bedroom in the attic space. Viewing is highly recommended.
The property is situated in the south of the Orne department of Normandy near a bustling village with bakery, small supermarket, two banks, tabac, pharmacy, butchers, bar/restaurant, hardware shop, book shop, post office, art gallery, hairdressers and electrical shop. It is 10km east of Le Teilleul, 12km from the medieval town of Domfront and 15km north of the major town of Gorron. The UNESCO heritage site of Mont Saint Michel and the beaches are about 64km from the property. The ferry port of Caen Ouistreham is about a 90 minute drive, as is Saint Malo. The ferry ports of Cherbourg Octeville and Le Havre are about two and a half hours away and Calais is approximately 4 hours by car.
