Normandy, Manche, La Haye-du-Puits, France

Magnificent Presbytery in a small village with amenities 10km from the beach

This stunning property has been completely renovated by the current owners over the last 27 years.  The windows and roof were replaced in 2000 and the designer kitchen was fitted about 15 years ago. The Conservatory was built about 12 years ago.  The property is maintained inside and out in immaculate condition and is ready to move into.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property can be found within walking distance of the nearest village with amenities - a Post Office, Bakery and a small shop. The nearest town, La Haye-du-Puits, with all amenities,  is 5 km from the property and can be reached on foot or on a bike on the old railway track which runs from Cherbourg to Mont Saint Michel in 15 minutes.  The property is easily accessible with the main A13 being about 15 minutes away and Cherbourg 45 minutes. The ferry port at Cherbourg is about 45 minutes drive and Caen Ouistreham is about 1 hour and 30 minutes.  The Channel tunnel is about 5.5 hours drive.  The UNESCO heritage site on Mont-Saint-Michel is about a forty minute drive away.  Omaha and Utah beaches are also about a 40 minute drive.  The nearest beach at Saint Germain is about 10km as the crow flies where you can enjoy windsurfing, kiting and other beach sports on the fabulous white sandy beaches. The property has views over Mont Castre which is on the western edge of the Marais du Cotentin et du Bessin National Park.  It is part of a chain of hills of great importance during World War II and before as a strategic defense point (Bataille des Haies in July 1944). It was formerly a stone quarry which is now a lake in a natural setting with panoramic views, medieval remains and a walk with picnic tables, a playground and in the summer a refreshment bar and pedaloes.  It is accessible by bike on the D903 between La Haye-du-Puits and Carentan.
