Mortain, Manche, Normandy
€230,000  |   Ref: 9670A

This detached 3 bed / 2 bath renovated country home is in a peaceful rural location, yet close to the lively town of Mortain. The property has a large garden with terrace, garage, and outbuildings.  Mortain is a great base with a good range of amenities, shops & restaurants and the surrounding area is renowned for outdoor pursuits.

The property was completely renovated in 1991 to a high standard, with continuous improvements carried out since. These include the installation of a new en-suite shower room and bathroom, full redecoration, a recently fitted woodburner, and an overhaul of the electrical system. PVC double-glazed windows and electric shutters were added in 2006, along with electric entrance gates and garage door. More recent upgrades include a new all-water septic tank, renovation of the office, and closure of the detached barn with new wooden doors to the front elevation. The result is a warm, efficient and move-in ready home that has been lovingly cared for.
