Normandy, Manche, Sourdeval, France

Detached stone house with over 1 1/4 acres in rural hamlet just a 10 minute drive from all the amenities of Sourdeval

This property is believed to have been built in 1806 and it stands in a lovely natural setting overlooking its garden and farmland.  There are several small outbuildings. The property requires renovation, including repair or replacement to the roof.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados, near the small town of Ger with basic amenities and  approximately 5 1/2 km from Sourdeval, the nearest town. The town offers every amenity including two banks and supermarkets. Market day is held every Tuesday morning, as is the livestock market.  The beaches on the west coast are an hour’s drive away and Sourdeval is approximately 80 minutes drive from the port of Caen and an hour and forty minutes from Cherbourg. A little further afield are the D-Day landing beaches, the Mont St Michel.  The Lac de la Dathée, ideal for walking, fishing and boating, and an 18 hole golf course are within 15 minutes drive,  as is the Saint Sever forest.
