Brouains - House For Sale

The property is 75 minutes from the ferry port at Ouistreham, and 20 minutes from the fast rail link to Paris at Vire, making day trips to the capital a reality. All modern conveniences are to be found in Vire, including several major supermarkets, shops and good quality restaurants. The world famous Mont-Saint-Michel is an hour away, as are the beautiful sandy Atlantic beaches between the Mont and Granville to the north. The River See, famous for its salmon fishing, is just down the road, as is the nearest access point to the long distance footpath and cycle track linking Vire to the Mont-Saint-Michel. The pretty little market town of Sourdeval is 5 minutes away by car. The front and side doors of the cottage open directly onto the two narrow village streets which border it. There is no rear access, and no garden or additional land, making this the ideal purchase for those who prefer to ?lock up and leave', without having to worry about who is going to mow the lawn in their absence. The cottage is built of stone, with a natural slate roof. It consists essentially of three rooms of irregular plan stacked one upon the other, connected by a corner staircase. A cellar below is entered by a separate, external door. The cottage is fully insulated, with PVC double glazing already fitted to the majority of the doors and windows. The current layout, from the ground upwards, is: cellar; kitchen/diner/living; bedroom 1; bedroom 2. The cottage is entered at the front via a short flight of steps covered by an open sided porch. This leads to the kitchen/dining/living room (4.1m x 5.0m). Wooden floor, side entrance door and window, carved granite fireplace. Breakfast bar, incorporating sink unit. Water heater in wall cupboard. Stairs lead up to bedroom 1 (4.7m x 4.0m). Windows to front and side, exposed beams, carved granite fireplace, under stair shelving. Within this bedroom is the shower room and WC. Tiled floor and walls, window to side. Stairs lead up to bedroom 2 (3.9m x 5.0m). Exposed stone wall and chimney breast, window to front. Stairs below the entrance porch lead down to the cellar (3.5m x 3.9m). The cottage is ready to move into, and represents very good value for money. It provides an ideal base for a couple or a single person from which to explore this beautiful part of the world.
