Character Stone House, Sourdeval, Manche

Property Description

A detached family home, with character features, standing centrally in over an acre of grounds.  The location is rural, peaceful and quiet, yet only a few minutes drive from the town of Sourdeval with its weekly market and supermarkets.  The stone barn could be converted into a separate dwelling.

Normandy has been a favourite spot for British buyers for many years, given its accessibility by car ferry and proximity for travel to and from the UK.  It makes it ideal for weekend breaks.  Sourdeval is a cheerful little town, well placed for a day trip to Mont St Michel, seaside resorts like Granville and the historic D-Day Landing beaches. Within 15 minutes drive there is an 18-hole golf course, the Lac de la Dathée, ideal for walking, fishing and boating and the Forest of St. Sever.

The accommodation has been sympathetically renovated to create a comfortable family home.  It stands at the end of a quiet country lane with only 2 other properties in the vicinity.  There are superb views from the front of the property. Running adjacent to the house is a stone barn which, subject to planning, could be converted into a letting gîte.
