Normandy, Manche, Brécey, France

Well renovated old bakery with separate barn and quarter of acre

This lovely cottage has been renovated over the last 12 years by the present owner including a new roof in 2020, double glazed windows and door in 2022, partial rewiring and a new hot water tank in 2023 and a new septic tank in 2022. It has also had a new kitchen and bathroom.  For the last 12 years it has been rented out as a holiday cottage and over the last 5 years it has generated an income of approximately £7,000 per year.   An outline planning application has been submitted for the conversion of the barn into a separate dwelling.  Viewing is highly recommended.
