This beautifully renovated 3-bed cottage is the perfect property for anyone looking to buy a good-sized smallholding with bags of Normandy charm. The house is within easy reach of the shops and services at St Sever. The also house benefits from being on mains drainage.
This renovated cottage with over six acres of good grazing land would make for the ideal smallholding. The land is currently arranged as a pretty landscaped garden area with adjoining paddocks complete with a babbling stream running through it.
The property has been completely renovated by the present owners over the past five years. This includes a new roof, an extension, new bathrooms and kitchen, new wiring and plumbing. The renovations have been sympathetically done and are in character with the house. The property is perfect for those wanting to move into a ready to go smallholding where time and effort can be spent in the Normandy sunshine, rather than renovating inside!
The property is tucked away in a small hamlet near the bustling small market town of Saint Sever, which enjoys glorious surroundings, being set almost at the edge of the Forest of Saint Sever. Saint Sever boasts a supermarket, shops, restaurants, bars, a butcher, deli and chemist as well as a fabulous Saturday market where the streets fill with colour, sound and the evocative scents of local gastronomic specialities cooking. On top of that, take a dip in the excellent open-air swimming pool, which opens during the months of July and August! The larger towns of Vire and Villedieu-les-Poêles are about a ten-minute drive away.
