Normandy, Manche, Mortain, France

Beautifully presented 3 bedroom detached house with outbuilding and nearly half an acre

The property was renovated and extended in 2006-2007  at which time it was re-wired and had a new roof, windows and doors, flooring, bathrooms and kitchen.  It stands at the end of a lane with no neighbours. Viewing is highly recommended.

This house  is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados, 4 kms from Sourdeval, the nearest town. Only a few minutes drive away, 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 20 minutes drive, as is the Saint Sever forest.
