Traditional 3-Bed Country House, Saint-Martin-De-Landelles, Manche

Property Description

This beautiful 3-bedroom property has a great sense of character and many of the unusual and original features remain.  The garden covers ¾ of an acre and there is also the opportunity to buy the adjoining woodland & outbuilding.  Situated in a beautiful location, just 1km from the river and 3km from a good range of shops and amenities.

The garden is well stocked with a range of shrubs and trees, but the adjoining area of woodland is also available for an additional €25,000.  Included in that plot is a detached stone house and bar that previously had planning permission to convert into a dwelling.  That permission has now expired, but plans could be resubmitted if the new owner was interested in a development project.

The interior of the house would benefit from being updated, but with those amazing windows and the beautiful stonework, it has the potential to be something really quite special.  There is a total 171m2 habitable space.  Here’s the current layout:

Ground Floor
Sitting room 6.39 x 6.08m with lovely feature window and door to the front garden.  Beautiful granite fireplace with wood-burning stove and wood flooring. The galleried landing runs above the seating area.

Additional plot of land:

The additional wooded plot of land covers half an acre and contains an old stone house (which has lapsed outline planning permission).  The dimensions of the house are 5.94 x 5.37m and it has a concrete floor, fireplace as well as window and door openings.  There is also an attached block and stone barn measuring 11.96 x 5.72m.  This additional plot is available for €25,000 in addition to the advertised price for the house.

Location:

The house is in a lovely location, just 1km from the river in Vézins and the nearby town of St Martin de Landelles is only 3km away.  Here you’ll find plenty of amenities including a bakery, post office, restaurant, bar, supermarket, butcher, school, tabac, hairdresser, petrol station and garden centre.  

The house is only 10mins from the bustling market town of Saint Hilaire du Harcouët, which is always wonderful to visit and boasts the largest fresh produce market in the area. There are lots of other lovely towns in the area that are well worth exploring, one of which is Mortain which has a great outdoor swimming pool and lovely waterfalls.  The coast is around 30mins away and the ever popular site of Mont-Saint-Michel is just 35 mins away.  

Cherbourg, Caen and St Malo ferry ports are all well within easy reach (1.5 hours at most).  The nearest railway station would be at Vire (30 mins away) and here regular trains run into Paris with a journey time of 2h 35mins.
