This typically Norman 'colombage' property has been completely refurbished and is in immaculate condition. The renovation work manages to strike the perfect balance between the traditional and the contemporary. The property has a separate gite, studio, workshop and a pretty garden and is within easy reach of shops, markets and restaurants.
Unusually for a traditional property the interior is full of light and has a modern feel whilst retaining all of its original charm and character. There is a generous 190m2 of habitable space with a total of 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (4 bedrooms in main house and 1 in the gite/annexe).
The property is located in a quiet location in the small hamlet of Berthouville. The surrounding countryside is typically Norman - think lush countryside (often dotted with Normandy cows), ancient woodland, pretty rivers and apple orchards.
Basic shops can be found in nearby Giverville (5mins drive), whilst Brionne (10min drive) has a larger selection of shops. The delightful market town of Bernay is 15mins 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, cafes, 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 about an hour away.
