Normandy, Manche, St-Hilaire-du-Harcouët, France

Substantial detached property ideal for B&B with Gîte and over 6 acres

This stunning property has been successfully run as a B&B in the past, and more recently a Gîte for large groups.  It is well presented throughout and ready to move into. It benefits from recent redecoration and central heating provided by heat source pumps.  There is an attached one bedroom gîte with separate access.  The large barn offers potential for further development and is currently arranged as 2 garages, 2 car ports and a bar/games room.  There is a separate detached garage and a basement.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated on the edge of Saint Hilaire du Harcouët Town centre and just over 1 hour from Saint Malo and the ferry port. Just up the road is the picturesque town of St Hilaire du Harcouet with one of the biggest markets in the area on a Wednesday morning which takes over most of the town centre. The town has all amenities including some great restaurants, bars, and cafes. It also has a park with two adjoining lakes and a childrens' playground. There is an indoor pool with a spa and a water slide. Crazy golf is available with clubs and balls for hire from a nearby bar. The town of Mortain 20 minutes away offers a great outdoor pool, stunning scenery and beautiful waterfalls.  It is 3 minutes away  from the Normandy/Brittany border and is set in the countryside.  It is within easy access of the main ferry ports, Cherbourg, Ouistreham (Caen), and St Malo (at most 1.5 hours drive) and Le Havre (about 2.5 hours).  The nearest mainline train station is at Vire (30 minutes away) with regular trains to Paris taking about 2 hours and 35 minutes.
