Normandy, Calvados, Burcy, France

Beautiful 4 bedroom house with magnificent landscaped gardens and terrace set in over an acre

Opportunity to buy a completely renovated detached country house which looks as though it is straight out of a Country Living magazine! The gardens are stunning with mature shrubs, hedges, trees and well established flower beds, all in immaculate order. All windows and doors throughout are double glazed.   The present owner has had a new kitchen and utility room installed, a new Jotul woodburner, brought the wiring up to date,  and had the property tastefully decorated throughout.     Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is about 3km from Vassy, an attractive market town providing a comprehensive range of shops including a bank, supermarket, butcher, bakers, pharmacy, local doctor and dentist, petrol station, etc. Vire, a larger town,  is an 8 minute drive away and has a mainline train station to Paris (2 hours 40 minutes).  The Normandy landing beaches, are within an hour's drive.  The pretty town of Clécy on the river Orne in the Swiss Normandy area is only 20 minutes away with Golf Course, kayaking, fishing, etc.  The nearest ferry port is 80km at Caen Ouistreham.
