Normandy, Manche, Sourdeval, France

Farmhouse with attached garage and further outbuildings set in almost 3/4 of an acre

The property benefits from double glazed windows (except 1) and could be lived in entirely on the ground floor as there is a downstairs bedroom, shower room and toilet.  There is room to create additional bedrooms in the loft space if required.  It is in a quiet hamlet with 2 neighbours.  The colourful gardens would definitely be of interest to a keen gardener.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados,  and close to the thriving market town of Sourdeval. 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 15 minutes drive,  as is the Saint Sever forest.
