Normandy, Manche, St-Sauveur-le-Vicomte, France

A47413SPR50 - Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte, the birthplace of renowned French writer Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly, has a real sense of character and offers all the amenities needed for everyday life, including a municipal swimming pool, two primary schools and two secondary schools.

The sea is also within easy reach, with the beautiful beaches of the west coast just 12 minutes away, while the nearby forest can be reached in around 5 minutes. Cherbourg and its car ferry terminal are approximately 30 minutes away, and Valognes SNCF railway station is just 15 minutes away.

Situated on the doorstep of the Cotentin and Bessin Marshes, the area is a wonderful setting for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. From Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte, you can even set off by kayak along the Douve River and discover the unspoilt landscapes of the Cotentin from the water.


The real highlight of the property may well be found outside.

Set within grounds of over 2,000 m², the south-facing garden is a true haven of greenery. Mature trees and abundant flowering plants create the feel of an English-style garden, with a wonderfully romantic sense of natural beauty and tranquillity.

The House

On the ground floor, the entrance leads into a beautiful and welcoming living area, featuring a wood-burning stove and enjoying direct access to the garden.

The recently fitted and fully equipped kitchen is both stylish and practical, with direct access to a small terrace – perfect for enjoying a morning coffee in the sunshine or dining outdoors during the warmer months.

A WC with washbasin is also located on this level, with sufficient space to easily install a shower. This would provide the possibility of creating a genuine ground-floor living arrangement, as was originally the case in the house.

A cosy and inviting sitting room, together with the first bedroom, complete the ground floor.

On the first floor, there is a lovely principal bedroom suite with dressing room, bathroom and WC, as well as a second bedroom with its own shower room and WC.

The second floor has a particular charm, with a spacious landing featuring beautiful original parquet flooring and plenty of built-in storage. This level provides access to two further bedrooms and a shower room with WC.

Outbuildings and Practical Spaces

Two attractive outbuildings further enhance the property, providing approximately 60 m² and 40 m² of additional space.

These versatile buildings could accommodate a variety of uses, including a workshop, storage space, wood store or hobby area.

A large open garage with space for two vehicles completes the property.

A Wonderful Place to Live

With its immaculate condition, generous proportions, beautiful garden and enviable location between the countryside, forest, marshes and coastline, this property offers a rare and highly appealing quality of life.

It would be equally suited to a family looking to settle in the Cotentin or to those seeking a characterful home from which to enjoy all that Normandy has to offer: village markets and local shops, woodland walks, trips to the coast, water-based activities in the marshes and long, relaxing days spent enjoying the beautiful garden.

A charming home ready to begin a new chapter, in a place where life is lived at a gentler pace.
