Pretty, Thatched Country Cottage, Sourdeval, Manche

Property Description

With far-reaching views over the surrounding Normandy countryside, this very pretty detached, stone-built thatched cottage would be equally suitable as a permanent residence as a holiday home. The cottage has 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom with space for another, and a large beamed reception room with granite fireplace. 

The property has been well maintained and has had a number of improvements within the last few years. The thatched roof has been overhauled with a new ridge, chimney flashing and weatherproofing in 2017. The gas central heating boiler was replaced about 6 years ago and the property benefits from double-glazed windows, with new shutters installed in 2007/8. There is also a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom.  Tin the grounds is a detached, thatched studio which would be suitable for the creation of a small gîte, subject to Planning.. 

The property is situated about 3kms from Sourdeval. Extensive recreational facilities can be found nearby including local waterfalls, fishing, walking clubs, canoeing and outdoor sports. There are a number of golf clubs in the vicinity. The local village has a good selection of bars, restaurants and shops. There is a weekly market every Tuesday in Sourdeval, including livestock. The nearest ferry port is at Caen, a drive of an hour and a half.
