Stunning Character Farmhouse

REDUCED in price - A stunning Character Farmhouse with beautiful interiors and nice grounds.

This substantial and beautifully restored farmhouse sits in its own grounds of 1.2 acres. Although it is only a 5 minute drive to the well served town of Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouet and other services, it rests in a corner of a small commune, untroubled by passing traffic.

Dating back to c. 1750 the building is constructed with cob and stone walls and has many exposed beams. All electrical and plumbing work has been professionally carried out and decoration has been completed to a high standard.

Passing through the dramatic galleried entrance hall you are led to a large and well appointed open plan kitchen/dining area with large island, wood burner, seating area, downstairs bathroom/shower, beautiful lounge with wood burner. A stunning oak staircase leads you to :

First floor: offering three spacious and light bedrooms- one with free standing bath and an additional luxury shower room.

There is access to another level which is floored and could give vaulted access to further bedrooms or living space.

Within the 1.2 acres, most of which is laid to grass there are many outbuildings. All are in tact, oak framed and full of character. They offer great scope for development. The present owners use them for dry storage for cars, garden machinery, furniture etc. There is also a hayloft used as a colombage terrace.

The department of Manche is in Lower Normandy and is bordered with Calvados, Orne, Mayenne and Ille-et-Vilaine. The English Channel in the west, north and north-west coastlines makes getting here to its many ports very easy from the UK. There is also an airport in Caen and many others are easily accessible in the surrounding regions such as Rennes airport.

History is all over the department through its museums and heritage, discovering the local traditions and culture as well as Chateaux, religious monuments, water mills, maritime sites and gardens is easy to do. The biggest 'must-do' is a visit to Mont Saint Michel.

Tourism plays a major role in the economy of the department which is fine because there is so much to see and do.
