Description
A45110AA50 - Amber Ashby and Leggett Immobilier International are proud to present this beautifully restored Character village home built in 1759, with Gîtes, Barns & Development Potential in the heart of the Rural Normandy countryside
Situated in the lively village of Bion, within walking distance of the local bar and convenience store, this substantial character property dating back to 1759 offers a blend of period charm, practical family living and exciting business or development potential in the Normandy countryside.
Lovingly restored over the past three years, the current owners have undertaken extensive renovation works with care and attention to detail, preserving the character of the property while improving comfort and functionality for modern living. A particular feature of the house is the custom-made artisanal oak staircase, designed as a central focal point and providing an elegant flow through the upper floors of the property.
The main house offers spacious accommodation arranged over three floors.
Entering through the front entrance, you are welcomed into a large and tastefully renovated lounge/salon featuring a historic fireplace at the heart of the home. The reception space flows naturally through to the fully equipped kitchen, installed within the last three years, offering generous storage, quality fittings and attractive floor tiles imported from Spain.
The first floor comprises two double bedrooms, one benefiting from an en-suite bathroom, together with a study and a separate family bathroom. The rooms throughout the property have been carefully renovated while retaining the original character of the house.
On the second floor are two further spacious bedrooms, including one with a dressing room, along with an additional family bathroom, making the property suitable for larger families, visiting guests or tourism accommodation.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a range of useful outbuildings and development opportunities.
An external utility room adjoins an atelier/workshop with potential for further development above, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Surrounding the enclosed courtyard are several additional outbuildings, including two potential gîtes, one where renovation works have already commenced, and another requiring more extensive restoration to create comfortable habitable accommodation.
A further large barn full of character is currently used for storage but offers significant potential for conversion into additional gîtes, a Brocante, workshop space, games room, entertaining area, indoor swimming pool or other tourism-related projects, subject to the relevant planning consents.
The gardens beautifully complement the property, featuring a charming cottage-style front garden, while the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a terraced patio area, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation. The generous grounds provide ample room for family activities, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the Normandy countryside.
Bion is a welcoming and active rural community with a friendly atmosphere throughout the year. The village benefits from a local bar, convenience store and an active salle des fêtes hosting regular community gatherings, seasonal events and celebrations, including the annual music festival which attracts visitors from the surrounding area.
The property is well positioned for access to nearby towns and amenities:
Mortain-Bocage – approximately 10 minutes
Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët – approximately 20 minutes
Domfront – approximately 25 minutes
Avranches and the gateway to Mont-Saint-Michel – approximately 40 minutes

Nearby amenities include supermarkets, schools, pharmacies, doctors, restaurants and weekly markets in the surrounding towns. The area is well known for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, with nearby forests, greenways and the famous Mortain waterfalls offering opportunities to enjoy the Normandy countryside.
Tourist attractions within easy reach include:
