Description
Attractive country house with attached house to renovate sitting in over an acre of land
This property is believed to have been built in 1921 and was probably a pair of semi-detached houses. The main house has been renovated and there is a blocked up door to connect the two properties , which could be re-opened if required. It could be used as a house and gîte or for larger family accommodation. It is in a quiet rural hamlet with a view over its garden, paddock and woodland. Viewing is highly recommended.
The house is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados, a short 6 minute drive into 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.
