Normandy, Manche, Sourdeval, France

Attractive detached stone house with pretty garden

The property is in a rural hamlet and has been a much loved family home.  It benefits from double glazed windows and character features including exposed stone walls and beams and a granite fireplace. A new bath and shower were fitted in 2024.  There is a pretty garden and a terrace.   Viewing is highly recommended.

The property stands in its own grounds approximately 10km from the market town of Sourdeval, with all amenities.  The house is accessible from any of the northern ports within 1-2 hours (St Malo, Cherbourg or Caen). It is a four hour journey from Calais if you prefer to come from that direction.    The property is situated in a rural setting, almost equidistant from Sourdeval, Vire and Tinchebray.  Tinchebray is a 10 minute drive away where there are restaurants, bakery's, a lake and supermarket can be found. Several great beaches are easily reached within an hour including Granville.  There are several nearby disused railway tracks that are great for walks or cycling.
