Spacious Detached Village House, Sourdeval, Manche

Property Description

This surprisingly spacious, detached village house has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 3 reception rooms. As a holiday home, it would be ideal as a lock-up-and-leave property but equally suitable for full time occupation. The property comes with a third of an acre of land and is just a few minutes’ drive from the shops at Sourdeval.

This substantial detached house offers spacious family accommodation and could be used as house and annexe or gîte without too many alterations.  It is in the heart of a small village with bakery and restaurant within easy walking distance.  The property benefits from wood framed double glazed windows and an efficient eco-friendly heating system. 

The property is a few kilometres from Sourdeval, the nearest town. Only a few minutes’ drive away, the town offers every amenity including two banks and supermarkets and there is a Farmers’ Market day every Tuesday.  The beaches on the west coast are an hour’s drive away and Sourdeval is approximately 75 minutes’ drive from the ferry port of Caen and an hour and forty minutes from Cherbourg. 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.
