Countryside house for sale in Manche - VIRTUAL TOUR

Ideal smallholding or equestrian property with 8 acres, potential gîte and outbuildings

This property is ideal for anyone wishing to own a smallholding and has possible income generating possibilities in the form of a small detached house (believed to have been a Shoemaker's cottage) which requires the renewal of outline planning permission to finish the renovation.  The larger outbuilding has planning permission to create a separate entrance from the road. The main house is built of block which has been rendered under a slate and tile roof.  It has been sympathetically modernised and benefits from gas fired central heating with thermostatically controlled radiators in every room, recent electrics, insulation and double glazing.  There are phone and TV points throughout the house and reliable broadband connection.  The current owner has converted the attached garage into a ground floor bedroom with shower room and toilet and utility area. 

The property is approximately 5 minutes away from a small town with amenities including a bank, supermarkets, restaurants, newsagents, doctor's surgery, vet's surgery and a school.  The larger towns of St Hilaire du Harcouët and Avranches are within easy reach for weekly markets.  It is situated approximately 30 minutes drive away from the coast and 1 hour and 15 minutes from the ferry port at Caen Ouistreham.
