Perriers En Beauficel - 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. Several major supermarkets, shops and good quality restaurants can all be found in Vire. 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. There are numerous opportunities for outdoor pursuits close at hand, including walking, cycling, horse riding and fishing. The River See, famous for its salmon fishing, is 5 minutes away, and the nearest access point to the long distance footpath, bridleway and cycle track linking Vire to the Mont-Saint-Michel is just a 10 minute drive. An 18-hole golf course is 10 minutes away, alongside Lake Dathee, with its nature reserve, footpaths and water sports centre. The property is approached from a rural lane with no through traffic. A quarter of a mile long, tree lined drive winds up past the lake through the lovely grounds to the house itself. Immediately in front of the house are two terraced areas of very well maintained gardens, with mature trees, shrubs, lawns, and various fruit trees. The majority of the land is made up of organic pastureland, with the added bonus of a large vegetable patch, an orchard and woodland, which with careful management will provide a continuous supply of logs for the Rayburn and the wood burner. There are views stretching for miles across the beautiful valley of the River See, and a wide variety of flora and fauna can be found on the doorstep. The house is built of granite with a slate roof. It has been fully renovated to a high standard by the present owners, to provide comfortable, low cost living. It is partially double glazed, and a combination of solar panels with a wood burning Rayburn provides more than enough hot water for the whole year. The Rayburn also heats the kitchen, and is an excellent cooker. A lean-to workshop runs the length of the house at the rear, and there is an underground cellar with external access to the side. Close to the house is a stone built detached barn currently in use as a garage and general purpose storage area, another small stone building, and a former bake house with bread oven which, if renovated, would make a lovely gite. Inside, there are numerous exposed beams and stone walls. The property consists on the ground floor of a kitchen, utility/bath room, WC, living room, dining area, sun room, office and workshop. On the first floor are a landing with mezzanine, 3 bedrooms (one with private bathroom) and a WC. Ground Floor The property is entered via the kitchen (6.1 x 3.1).
