Normandy, Orne, Tinchebray, France

Renovated detached family home with over an acre of garden

This lovely detached stone house has been completely renovated since 2005, including a new roof, new septic tank, re-wiring, new plumbing and bathroom, kitchen and utility room.  The open plan living area is light and airy with a cathedral ceiling and huge granite fireplace.  There is over an acre of well maintained gardens.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated in a quiet rural setting but it is within walking distance of a village with bar, bakery, chemist and everyday amenities. The market town of Tinchebray is a short 5 minute drive away where there are restaurants, bakeries, a lake and a supermarket. It is within 10 minutes drive to the  town of Flers and 15 minutes drive to the medieval town of Domfront.  Several great beaches are easily reached within an hour including Granville. The house is accessible from any of the northern ports within 1-2 hours (St Malo, Cherbourg or Caen). It is a four hour journey from Calais.
