Normandy, Calvados, Isigny-sur-Mer, France

A47387JTH14 - Leggett Immo presents A substantial quayside property to renovate
Occupying an enviable position directly beside the quayside in Isigny-sur-Mer, this substantial town house presents an opportunity to create a sizeable home in one of the town's most attractive locations.
The property is now arranged as a single dwelling but was previously divided into three separate apartments, giving it an unusually flexible layout and making it particularly interesting for buyers seeking a renovation project with scope for reconfiguration.
The property requires complete internal renovation. For the right purchaser, however, this provides the opportunity to redesign the accommodation according to individual requirements rather than compromise with an existing finished layout.
Accommodation over three floors
The main house extends over three floors, with two staircases providing access to the different levels.
On the ground floor, the current accommodation comprises an equipped kitchen, living room, back kitchen, laundry room, boiler room and WC.
The existing arrangement provides a useful starting point for a comprehensive refurbishment. Depending on the future project, the ground floor could potentially be reorganised to create a larger open-plan kitchen and living space while retaining useful utility and service areas.
At the rear of the property is a private terrace, together with a shed and a separate two-room studio.
The studio does not currently have a bathroom, but provides valuable additional space which could potentially be used as guest accommodation, a home office, workshop, hobby room or leisure space, subject to the necessary works and permissions.
Flexible upper floors
The first floor currently comprises two rooms and a bathroom.
The second floor provides a further two rooms and a bathroom, giving the property considerable flexibility for its future configuration.
The rooms could potentially be arranged as bedrooms, offices, dressing rooms, additional reception rooms or other accommodation, depending on the requirements of the future owner and the necessary technical and regulatory considerations.
Above the main accommodation, the loft offers further development potential, providing another opportunity to increase the usable floor area, subject to planning and building regulations.
Existing heating and hot-water infrastructure
Although the property requires substantial internal modernisation, a number of useful services are already in place.
An air-to-water heat pump central-heating system serves the ground and first floors, while a pellet burner provides heating to the second floor.
Domestic hot water is supported by a substantial 300-litre solar water-heating system, complemented by a recent 200-litre electric water heater.
These existing installations provide useful infrastructure for the future renovation, although their condition and suitability should be assessed as part of any refurbishment project.
The main house has a traditional slate roof, while the separate rear studio has a red-tiled roof, adding visual contrast and character to the property.
An exceptional central location
The location is one of the property's strongest features.
Situated directly beside the quayside in Isigny-sur-Mer, the property is within walking distance of the town's shops, restaurants and everyday services.
This makes it particularly attractive to buyers looking for a Normandy town property where everyday amenities are accessible on foot, while still being close to the coast and countryside.
The quayside setting also gives the property a distinctive character that would be difficult to reproduce in a conventional suburban location.
Close to Omaha Beach and rail connections
For buyers interested in the Normandy coast and its history, the location is particularly compelling.
Omaha Beach is approximately 15 minutes away by car, placing the property within easy reach of one of Normandy's most famous beaches and the wider D-Day coastline.
The railway station is also approximately 15 minutes away, providing access to rail services towards Paris and adding to the property's appeal as a Normandy base for owners travelling between the region and the capital.
A genuine renovation opportunity
This is not a turnkey property. The interior requires comprehensive refurbishment and the future owner should approach the property as a genuine renovation project.
That requirement is also its principal opportunity.
The purchaser will have the scope to rethink the internal configuration and create a property tailored to their own requirements, whether that means a substantial family residence, a multi-generational home, a Normandy holiday property or a project incorporating independent accommodation.
The combination of a quayside position, substantial accommodation, three floors, two staircases, separate rear studio, private terrace, developable loft and existing heating and hot-water infrastructure makes this a particularly versatile renovation proposition.
A characterful Isigny-sur-Mer town house in an exceptional quayside location, offering substantial space and considerable potential for a comprehensive internal renovation and transformation.
