3 Bedroom Character Property For Sale

This is the quintessential Normandy house - and what a gem! It currently has 2 bedrooms but there is plenty of space upstairs for more. In the words of our local colleague, 'with a little decorative work, this could become something very special'. It comes with an acre of land and a pretty outbuilding with conversion possibilities.




The property is situated in a pretty hamlet, 8kms from the delightful small town of Bernay with a great selection of shops and restaurants and a weekly market that is very well renowned for its fabulous Normandy produce. Also in Bernay there is a rail station from where there is a direct train to Paris (Saint-Lazare) with a journey time of 80 minutes.




This very authentic Normandy house, built in the particular style of the department, is situated in a very sought-after area and comes with an acre of wooded grounds and an outbuilding similar in style to the house, which has the potential for conversion into guest accommodation, subject to Planning Consent.




The accommodation, measuring 169m2 of habitable space, consists of a sitting room (42m2) with an open fire, a kitchen with a second fireplace and a shower room with WC. On the first floor there is a mezzanine of 19 m2, two large double bedrooms of 22 et 23 m2 and a large, converted attic of 40 m2. Drainage is to a modern septic tank and heating is provided by a gas-fired central heating boiler. The garden measures 4000m2 (1 acre) is largely lawned and has a good number of mature trees.




The property is located in a quiet position in a hamlet, 8kms from Bernay. The surrounding countryside is typically Norman - lush countryside (often dotted with Normandy cows), ancient woodland, pretty rivers and apple orchards. 




The delightful market town of Bernay is a short drive from the property. The town dates back to the 10th century and its winding streets are lined with the famous Normandy 'colombage' (timbered) buildings. The town offers a good selection of restaurants, cafés, bakeries and shops and there is also an excellent weekly market, held on a Saturday. Bernay also has a train station which has a direct route into Paris - the journey takes 1h15mins. 




The golden sandy beaches of Deauville and Trouville are within easy reach (50mins), as is the popular harbour town of Honfleur. 




The ferry ports at Caen (Ouistreham) and Le Havre are both a little over an hour away.
