Normandy, Manche, Sourdeval, France

Renovated 3 bedroom house with half an acre and second house to renovate

The house is ready to move into and offers the possibility of living completely on the ground floor with a bedroom and en-suite bathroom.  It was completely renovated in 2001. There is a second detached house to renovate which is currently being used for storage.  It would be ideal for  multi-generational living.  The garden is immaculately maintained and has a large vegetable plot and chicken runs.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados,  approximately 3 km from Sourdeval, the nearest town. The town offers every amenity including three banks and two supermarkets. Market day is held every Tuesday morning, as is the livestock market. Further amenities can be found at Vire-Normandie (11 km) with all amenities including a train station giving access to Paris. The property is within a 15 minute drive of a well known local restaurant. The beaches on the west coast are an hour's drive away and Sourdeval is approximately 80 minutes drive from the port of Caen and an hour and forty minutes from Cherbourg. A little further afield are the D-Day landing beaches, the Mont St Michel.  The Lac de la Dathée, ideal for walking, fishing and boating, and an 18 hole golf course are within 15 minutes drive,  as is the Saint Sever forest.
