Lovely 5 Bedroom Country House, Gite, Stables & 8 Acres.

Property Description

A lovely detached renovated country house with flexible accommodation, including a 2 bedroom gite and large modern barn containing 4 stables, tack room, hay store and large garage/workshop. Set in over 8 acres of land and just a 5 mins walk from a village with bakery, bar/restaurant/shop.
Automatic gates open onto a gravelled forecourt, with ample room for several cars to park and turn. To one side is the two bedroom gite with attached garage and woodstore, and a stone bread oven. The purpose-built agricultural building can be accessed from the forecourt or via a separate driveway for large machinery. The land is split into 4 paddocks, each with a water supply.
The open plan living room has a kitchen and dining area at one end and at the other a massive granite fireplace. Sliding patio doors enable you to look over the paddocks and flood the room with light. A doorway leads into a spacious lobby, a cloakroom, an office and a bedroom with french windows opening onto the garden. There is a large utility room doubling up as a boot room and with adjoining boiler room. The imposing tower houses the stairway to the 1st floor, with 4 more bedrooms (2 of which have en-suite facilities) and a family bathroom. At the top of the tower, under the glazed roof is the observatory, an ideal space to escape the family with a good book and a glass of wine!

The large market town of Vire is approx 15 minutes away and offers all amenities, as well as daily trains to Paris.
