This large original farmhouse has been tastefully and professionally renovated by local artisans to provide spacious living accomodation whilst retaining many original features. The property nestles in the picturesque French countryside and is accessed via country lanes, providing a truly rural location. This stunning country house boasts the best of both worlds, being only 5kms from a large village and under 10 minutes to a motorway and only 30 minutes from Mont St Michel.
This property provides 7 bedrooms over two wings; one wing currently being used as the owners' residence and the second wing being used for the successful and established bed and breakfast business. The country house sits in almost one hectare of grounds and offers substantial outbuildings and a 9x5m pool and pool terrace.
The front steps lead up to the front entrance which offers onto the fully-fitted kitchen (35m²) with granite fireplace housing the cooking range, exposed beams and bespoke hand painted kitchen units with granite work tops. This offers into a utility room, cloakroom, study, boot room, laundry room (30m²), boiler room, and door leading from kitchen to south facing well- established garden and paved terrace. An oak staircase leads up to the first floor.

This gives onto the living room (40m²) with exposed granite wall, solid oak flooring, 15 kw wood burner, French doors leading onto an east-facing wooden balcony (16m²) with uninterrupted views of the valley and access to the second wing of the house. The oak staircase further leads up a few steps to a landing which gives onto a large double bedroom (16m²) with original 350 year old chestnut ceilings and exposed beams, a large family bathroom (6.5m²) also with original chestnut ceilings and beams and a large walk in cupboard, and WC.

The oak staircase continues up a few steps to the master bedroom (19m²) with exposed beams, freestanding slipper bath and en suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms (9.5m²) built into the eaves, with separate shower room complete the accomodation for this wing of the house.

The wing housing the guest accomodation can be accessed from the owner's wing, from the balcony or from the grounds. The main entrance leads into the guest's living room with 11kw wood burner, which gives onto a large family bedroom with private outside terrace and en suite bathroom (23m²). A staircase to the first floor gives onto a large double bedroom (14.5m²)with en suite bathroom, and a large double bedroom with en suite bathroom and private balcony. Both the upstairs bedrooms have exposed beams and A frames. There is oiled fired central heating in all rooms and bathrooms.

Set in just under one hectare of grounds, this property also offers a large detached granite barn (100m²) with concrete floor which could provide garaging for several cars. Outline planning permission has previously been granted for conversion into accommodation and soil studies have already been carried out for a sewerage system. There is also a two storey workshop/studio with concrete floor and a covered wood store.

The above ground 9x5m swimming pool is surrounded by around 100m² of decked terrace, providing a private area for swimming, sunbathing and outdoor living. The property is accessed via a large gravelled driveway with a turning circle and parking for numerous cars.
