Ref: Lot 8
Stone Farmhouse to renovate with over 5 acres including woodland in Normandy in rural hamlet
The property has direct access to bridleways and the land surrounds the property on 3 sides. It is south facing and needs complete renovation, including a new roof. There is room to extend the accommodation into the first floor and/or barns either side, or create a gîte, subject to planning. Viewing is recommended to appreciate its full potential.
It is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados, approximately 7kms from Sourdeval with every amenity including two banks and supermarkets. Market day is held every Tuesday morning, as is the livestock market and 4 miles from Mortain. The beaches on the west coast near Avranches are a 45 minute drive away and Sourdeval is approximately 80 minutes drive from the port of Caen and an hour and forty minutes from Cherbourg. A little further afield are the D-Day landing beaches, the Mont St Michel. The Lac de la Dathée, ideal for walking, fishing and boating, and an 18 hole golf course are within 15 minutes drive, as is the Saint Sever forest.
