Normandy, Manche, Barenton, France

Attractive stone farmhouse with several outbuildings set over an acre of land

This property stands at the end of a lane, surrounded by its own land.  It has been renovated by the present owner with the exception of the kitchen and entrance hall, and the renovated rooms have been rewired. There is the possibility of creating extra bedrooms in the loft space, which is boarded.  It would be ideal for someone wishing to work from home to utilise the large barns.  The owner is in negotiation to obtain some more land which would make the total nearer to two acres.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is located in Manche in the Normandy region of France near the pretty town of Barenton which is nestled between thriving towns such as Mortain, Domfront and Saint-hilaire-du-harcouët. There is a local supermarket, florist/gift shop, electrical appliance store, builders merchant, kebab shop, a wonderful boulangerie, bars, a bank, doctors, restaurant, a car dealership and more.  The UNESCO Heritage site of Mont St Michel is 58 km away and the coast at Granville is about 1 1/2 hours’ drive.  It is about 25 minutes to a 9 hole golf course Golf De Bagnoles – Route de Domfront at Bagnoles sur Orne.  The ferry ports are within easy reach – 1 hour to Caen Ouistreham, 4 1/2 hours to Calais, 2 1/2 hours to Le Harvre port or Cherbourg. It is about 2 hours 15 mins to Paris by train.  More extensive facilities can be found in the historic town of Domfront,  and the town of Flers with a swimming pool, bowling, restaurants, shops and schools.
