Countryside house for sale in Manche - VIRTUAL TOUR

House and Gite set in over 2 hectares of land with several outbuildings and no neighbours

The main house has been completely renovated and offers comfortable one bedroom accommodation.  The attached gîte has 2 bedrooms and will require a kitchen but is otherwise ready to use.  The solitary position of this property is appealing, as are the outbuildings which are all in good condition and the land which surrounds the property.  The gîte has had a new roof and windows in the gîte and two doors have been replaced.  The property was rewired in 2021.

The property is located in Manche in the Normandy region of France near the pretty town of Barenton which is nestled between thriving towns such as Mortain, Domfront and Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët. There is a local supermarket, florist/gift shop, electrical appliance store, builders merchant, kebab shop, a wonderful boulangerie, bars, a bank, doctors, restaurant, a car dealership and more.  The UNESCO Heritage site of Mont St Michel is 58 km away and the coast at Granville is about 1 1/2 hours’ drive.  It is about 25 minutes to a 9 hole golf course Golf De Bagnoles – Route de Domfront at Bagnoles sur Orne.  The ferry ports are within easy reach – 1 hour to Caen Ouistreham, 4 1/2 hours to Calais, 2 1/2 hours to Le Harvre port or Cherbourg. It is about 2 hours 15 mins to Paris by train.  More extensive facilities can be found in the historic town of Domfront,  and the town of Flers with a swimming pool, bowling, restaurants, shops and schools.
