Farmhouse with outbuildings and almost 3 acres of land

The property is in a quiet rural hamlet and offers potential to extend into the adjoining barns, if required.  The majoritity of the land is to the front of the property.  The substantial barns are ideal for agricultural use or for someone wishing to work from home, car or caravan storage, etc.  There is the possibility of purchasing an additional field, subject to negotiation.  Viewing is highly recommended.

It is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados,  near the market town of Sourdeval. The town offers every amenity including two banks and supermarkets. Market day is held every Tuesday morning, as is the livestock market.  The beaches on the west coast are an hours drive away and Sourdeval is approximately 80 minutes drive from the port of Caen and an hour and forty minutes from Cherbourg. A little further afield are the D-Day landing beaches, the Mont St Michel.  The Lac de la Dathée, ideal for walking, fishing and boating, and an 18 hole golf course are within 15 minutes drive,  as is the Saint Sever forest.
