Normandy, Calvados, Vire-Normandie, France

Pretty detached house and gîte in a quiet rural hamlet with nearly 2 acres

The property is in a quiet and beautiful setting and stands in the middle of its plot.  The garden itself is just over an acre and is well kept with many mature trees, shrubs and flower borders.  There is a separate paddock of over half an acre with a derelict building.  The renovations were carried out in 2011, at which time the house was re-wired and had a new kitchen and all water septic tank.  The gîte is used for visiting family and it has an attached double garage.   Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated in the Calvados department (Normandy region) in the north of France 55 km from Caen, the department capital, 234 km from Paris and 308 km from the port at Calais.  It is situated 5 km from the town of Vire with all amenities including mainline train station to Granville and Paris, Supermarkets, Schools, Bowling, 18 hole Golf Course, Lake, Swimming Pool, Skate Park, Gym, Riding School, Hospitals, Shops, etc.  Market day is Friday.  The beach at Granville is approximately 55 minutes away.  The ferry ports of Caen (1 hour), Cherbourg, St Malo and Le Havre are within easy driving distances and Calais for the Tunnel is about 4 hours away.
