All three properties have separate access and garden areas. For the main house, double wooden gates lead down the tarmac drive to a parking/turning area by the house. There is a separate, detached 2 story stone outbuilding with an attached wooden garage which is currently used as a workshop and storage area.
The garden has a large lawned area with well-established hedges, mature trees and shrubs. There is also a covered pool area and an above-ground swimming pool. The garden area then leads down to the paddocks which may offer up the potential for equine use.
Location:
The house is in a rural location and has stunning views down the valley. Yet, it’s just 3.7km, either by bike or car, to the shops and amenities in Barenton. Barenton has everything you need for your day-to-day supplies, however the medieval town of Domfront is just 15mins away and here you’ll find a large range of shops, restaurants, cafes and services.
Other towns and villages in the area that are well worth exploring include Mortain, Lonlay-L’Abbaye, Le Teilleuil and Sourdeval. Flers has a swimming pool, bowling alley and schools and Vire is about a 30min drive.
The property is about 25mins away from the 9 hole golf course near Bagnoles. The ferry port at Caen is a 1hr40min drive and the lovely coastline near Granville is an easy day trip, about 90mins away.
