Description

A41957AMM61 - A traditional stone-built farm building of 145 m² and two separate smaller stone-built outbuildings — all requiring complete renovation. The spacious main farmhouse building has attractive features such as original large stone fireplaces and wooden beams, and currently has a fibre cement roof.

There are architectural plans to transform the main building into a home with large, sociable living spaces on the ground floor: a separate kitchen, dining room, and two living rooms. On the first floor, there are currently plans for two large en-suite bedrooms and a large workshop space.

There are also full plans to transform the larger of the two outbuildings into a stylish independent gîte for guests; alternatively, this could also be used as a large workshop or office space. Currently, this outbuilding is empty and has a tin roof.

The property is set on a plot of 5,934 m², which is level and grass-covered, with mature fruit trees. Access to the property is via a gravelled driveway, with plenty of space to create a large private parking area close to the main dwelling.

Planning permission has been granted for work drawn up in the current architectural plans; these plans can be transferred to the new owner subject to application.
Water and electricity are ready on site to be connected.
Plans are included for a new fosse septique system, with the soil survey completed.

The property is a short 3-minute drive from the popular town of Tinchebray, which boasts a wide range of amenities, including a large supermarket, schools, local restaurants and bars, and a weekly market. Within a short drive are the larger towns of Vire (15 minutes / 15 km) and Flers (20 minutes / 18 km), both with mainline train services to Paris. Ferry routes back to the UK are easily accessible from Ouistreham, just over a 60-minute drive (83 km).

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
