Normandy, Manche, Mortain, France

2-bedroom country house with substantial outbuildings set in over an acre

This detached country house is at the end of a no through road in a rural situation.  The current owners have had the property brought up to date with new electrics, new plumbing and insulation.  There is a small loft room which is used as an extra bedroom when required. There is a detached stone and cob barn which could be converted into a gîte, subject to Planning Permission.  Viewing is recommended.

The sandy beaches on the west coast of Normandy and the scenic coastal footpaths around the Baie du Mont St Michel are all under an hour's drive away. The coastal towns and beaches of Northern Brittany are also within easy reach and well worth a day trip.  The Golf course near Vire is about 20 minutes drive.  The house is about 1 hour 20 minutes drive from Caen and around 2 hours from both Cherbourg and Le Havre, around 3 hours from Dieppe and around 5 hours from Calais. The nearest airport is at Dinard.  The village of  Juvigny le Tertre is about 5 minutes away for everyday shopping.  More extensive facilities can be found at  Mortain or  St Hilaire du Harcouët (both about 20 minutes drive).  One of the largest regional markets in Normandy is held in St Hilaire each Wednesday morning.
