Normandy, Manche, Le Fresne-Poret, France

Beautifully presented detached 4 bedroom house with 1/2 acre garden and outbuilding

The house has been lovingly restored by the present owners with quality fixtures and fittings. The renovations started in 2004, at which time the property had a new roof, windows, floors, kitchen, bathrooms, wiring and septic tank.  Wherever possible original features have been kept and the coat of arms over the fireplace indicates that the property was built in 1577.  There are lots of exposed stone walls, beams and display niches.  There is an old bakery, which has been used as a house with an attached open-fronted car port ideal for a caravan or camping car.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The house is just outside the village where there is a bar/shop/restaurant within walkign distance. Larger supermarkets, banks, etc. within a short drive at Sourdeval, Ger and Mortain.  The property is situated in Manche in the Normandy region of France.  The UNESCO listed  Mont St Michel is about 50 kms away, Coutances Cathedral (59 km), Bayeux Tapestry (Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux) (64 km), or Memorial de Caen (67 km).  It is about one and a half hour's drive from the Ferry Port at Caen Ouistreham.
