Normandy, Manche, Barenton, France

4 bedroom country house with gîte set in over half an acre

This substantial detached house offers family accommodation and whilst it would benefit from re-decoration it is habitable straight away.  The gîte offers the potential of an additional income or independent living for a relative.   Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is located in Manche in the Normandy region of France.  There is an excellent restaurant Auberge De La Source, and Cafe in the village.  The UNESCO Heritage site of Mont St Michel is 58 km away and the coast at Granville is about 1 1/2 hours’ drive.  It is about 25 minutes to a 9 hole golf course Golf De Bagnoles – Route de Domfront at Bagnoles sur Orne.  The ferry ports are within easy reach – 1 hour 40 minutes to Caen Ouistreham, 4 1/2 hours to Calais, 2 1/2 hours to Le Havre port or Cherbourg. It is about 2 hours 15 mins to Paris by train.  More extensive facilities can be found in the historic town of Domfront, which is a 15 minute drive and the town of Flers with a swimming pool, bowling, restaurants, shops and schools (about 10 minutes drive) or Vire (30 minutes drive).
