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

2 bedroom house with scope to convert the attic with several outbuildings, paddock and orchard

This house stands in a prominent position with no close neighbours.  Over the last 6 years it has had a new septic tank and it has been rewired.  The woodburner was installed four years ago.   There are several useful outbuildings, including an old Bakery which is in good condition, and a large garden, including 2 orchards and a productive vegetable garden.   Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated between the picturesque town of St Hilaire du Harcouët with one of the biggest markets in the area on a Wednesday morning which takes over most of the town centre, and Mortain. 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.
