Description
4 Bedroom house with attached garage set in just under an acre
Plenty of rustic charm in this detached house with attached garage about 20 minutes from Bayeux in Normandy. There are two downstairs bedrooms and the possibility of extending into the attached garage or loft space, subject to planning. It would also be possible to create a self-contained gîte or annexe on the ground floor. The roof and batons were replaced about 15 years ago. Viewing is highly recommended.
The closest large village, 5 minutes drive away, is St Jean d’Baisants/D'Elle which is the local village for general shopping and offers a bar, butcher, small supermarket, bakery with a cafe, garage, post office, doctor’s surgery, chemist, and 2 hairdressers. St.Lô, with its medieval rampants, poignant history and central location in the heart of Normandy, situated approximately 15k west of the property, has good supermarkets and shopping, leisure facilities (aqua-park and golf-driving range), restaurants and an extensive Saturday morning market.
The property is in an enviable position, central to all major ports and attractions, with easy access to the famous D-Day Landing beaches (30 mins drive) and to/from the major ferry ports of Caen and Cherbourg (90 minutes) It is situated near the village of Cerisy la Foret, midway between the major towns of Bayeux and St Lo. The nearest mainline train station with trains to Paris (2 hours 30 minutes) is nearby. Within a short distance is Cerisy Forest (forêt de Cerisy or forêt de Balleroy), is a 2,127 hectare (5,260 acre beech tree woodland (75% of the land), located in the French Calvados and Manche departments. Since 1976 it has been a national nature reserve managed by l’Office national des forêts (ONF).
Bayeux, a most beautiful, picturesque medieval town is only 35 minutes drive. The UNESCO heritage site of Mont St. Michel is around 1 hour 30 minutes’ drive. The beautiful sandy and spacious Normandy beaches, WWII museums and military cemeteries/memorials are 40-50 minutes, depending on which beach.
