Countryside house for sale in Manche - VIRTUAL TOUR

Superb family home in Normandy with 2 gîtes and just under 3 acres

This delightful Farmhouse is believed to date back to the 1700's.  It stands in a small rural hamlet  in a private position.  There is a large garden and separate seating areas for each of the gîtes and a charming summer house.  A long gravel drive with a turning circle  leads up to the property and parking area.  Formerly there were 2 letting rooms in the main house - one of which is a family room. Gîte 1 has one main bedroom and a small children's room and Gîte 2 has one bedroom but can accommodate an additional person comfortably.  Peak season, when the owners are in residence, the B&B rooms rented out for 120€ and 70€ including breakfast, alternatively the main house can be rented out as a gîte for 175€ per night .  Gîte 1 rents out for 135€ per night peak season and Gîte 2 is 95€ per night in peak season.   Ideal for those wishing to buy a home and income or a lifestyle choice - viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated near a small French village with a local store, small restaurant and Patisserie.  St Hilaire, Brecey and Mortain are all just 10-15 minutes drive away, and all have either indoor or open air swimming pools. A 20 minute drive will take you to the larger town of Avranches, and Le Mont St Michel and the beautiful beaches are just 35-45 minutes away.  The nearest Port is at Saint Malo 66km or Caen Ouistreham – 121km.
