Originally built in 1618 and beautifully renovated by the current owners, this 4-bed stone country house is ready to move in and enjoy straight away.  However there is still potential to expand the living space if you wanted a bit of a project to get your teeth into.  The attractive garden surrounds the house and is well stocked.  This house is well connected with local market towns and would work equally well as a permanent or second home.

The property has been carefully renovated.  An air source heat pump was installed as part of the process and the property now has an impressive B energy efficiency rating.  There is a total 205m2 habitable space arranged across 3 levels.  Here’s the current layout:

Outside:

A gravel driveway leads down to a parking and turning area by the double garage (7.4 x 6.4m). The garage has a concrete floor, sliding wood door and the roof has been renewed.  The workshops has a concrete floor, windows and doors that make it suitable as a collection’s garage or it could also offer the potential for conversion into a self contained apartment or gite (subject to planning).

The garden is beautifully presented and covers an area of just over half an acre.  Predominantly lawned, there is a good collection of mature trees, shrubs, hedges and flower borders.  There is also an attractive decking area - the perfect spot for entertaining.

Location

The house is situated in the beautiful Normandy countryside. ThIs is a great area if you like fresh local produce.  Ger and Mortain offer a good range of day to day amenities, including a very good bakery and restaurant as well as a good selection of shops.  There’s also plenty of interest for tourist visitors.  The Grand Cascade of Mortain, aka ‘the biggest waterfall in the west’ is particularly popular and there are plenty of walking routes and rock climbing.  Talking of biking, the  voie Verte cycle route network is easily accessible, so day-trips on two wheels are very easy to arrange.

The larger town of Vire is about 20mins from the property should you need any of the larger shops or supplies.  Major towns such as Domfront, Avranches, St Lo, Falaise, Bayeux and Honfleur are all within easy reach.  Caen / Ouistreham and St Malo ferry ports are equidistant and the beach is just under an hour away.
