Normandy, Orne, Passais, France

Large 8 bedroom village centre house with Gite and Shop and double garage set in 1/2 acre

The property has been organised to offer a B&B room which rents for approximately 80€ per night and a 2 bedroom gîte which rents for about 75€ per night.  The accommodation is very versatile so more bedrooms can be added to the each section of the house via lockable doors and the three landings.  The bedrooms over the shop in the South Wing and the second floor are still to be developed and could offer additional letting rooms.  The current owners have obtained permission to open a Café in the ground floor shop which faces into the village centre and has independent access and a connecting door to the Lounge in the main house.  Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential of this property.

The property is situated in the south of the Orne department of Normandy near a bustling village with bakery,  small supermarket, two banks, tabac, pharmacy, butchers, bar/restaurant, hardware shop, book shop, post office, art gallery, hairdressers and electrical shop.  It is 10km east of Le Teilleul, 12km from the medieval town of Domfront and 15km north of the major town of Gorron. The UNESCO heritage site of Mont Saint Michel and the beaches are about 64km from the property.  The ferry port of Caen Ouistreham is about a 90 minute drive, as is Saint Malo.  The ferry ports of Cherbourg Octeville and Le Havre are about two and a half hours away and Calais is approximately 4 hours by car.  The nearest airports are at Rennes (1 hour) or Dinard (1.5 hours).
