Village House, Now Reduced, What a..

REDUCED in price - Village House to renovate, this house is at the edge of a village with a big community spirit. It sits just outside the centre of the village about 2 minutes from the local bar/shop, church, school and salle de fete. The house is constructed of stone with the main house roof being slate, the outbuildings attached to the house are covered in fibro cement or metal.

On entering the house via the conservatory/porch you go straight into the main living area which is the typically French open kitchen/living room with two bedrooms off to one side and a shower room and wc off to the other side.

Also in the conservatory/porch you will find another door, this gives access to a large barn with access to the attic area over the main part of the house which could easily be converted to bedrooms.

The living area of the house could easily be extended by opening up the various rooms which have been added to the house over the years by the owner. These are all solid block built units which have been used for keeping animals such as chickens and pigs in, all at present are accessed from outside.

Outside there is also a good sized garage and workshop.

The house is heated by electric and wood and has a septic tank. Also some of the windows have been replaced with double glazed units.

The department of Calvados is possibly the most famous of the three departments in Lower Normandy, the other two being Manche and Orne. The inhabitants are called the Calvadosiens and it is located in the north east of the region.

Calvados gathers many different cultural and geographical areas in one spot, there are 4 main areas: in the west of the department we find the Bessin area, mainly around Bayeux; in the south west there is the "Swiss Normande" area, a hilly land with rivers; in the centre of the department we find Caen with flat agricultural land; the Auge area stands out in the east of the department as the typical Normandy image with its half-timbered houses.

Calvados appeals to most for its many beautiful landscapes and beaches including the WWII landing beaches.
