Normandy, Manche, Barenton, France

Superb detached house with nearly 8.5 acres with no neighbours

This stunning property stands in a sheltered position with open views towards the village.  It offers spacious family accommodation and would be ideal for equestrian enthusiasts as the land is all visible from the house. Land drains feed a pond.  It was renovated between 2001 and 2010.  It is within walking/cycling distance of a village with amenities. Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated in a quiet rural hamlet about 1 km from the small town of Barenton with a local supermarket, bakeries, pharmacy, hairdresser,  post office, tabac and cafés. Further shopping can be found at Mortain and Domfront (10km) and St Hilaire du Harcouet (15 km). The ferry port of Caen Ouistreham  is about  1 hour 15 minutes away, served by Britanny Ferries from Portsmouth. St Malo with its ferry port is 1 1/2 hours away and Cherbourg is 2 hours. Calais and the Euro Tunnel are approximately a four and a quarter hour drive.
