House buy in Fleury Normandie

This detached 2-bed stone house definitely has a great sense of grandeur. The symmetrical frontage and large french windows match perfectly the fantastic flagstone floors and large fireplace inside. The long gravel drive leads up through the 0.75 acre garden that surrounds the house. Just a short drive from a lovely market town and 25mins from the beach, it's a perfect spot for exploring the area. The house was first renovated in 2001/2 when works included the rewiring, new plumbing and electric heating, installation of new kitchen and bathroom, shutters and woodburner. The hotter cylinder and shower were fitted in 2019/20. The house would probably benefit now from some modernisation, but it is a perfectly comfortable home and potentially an ideal project for someone looking to put their own stamp on a property with lots of character features to work with. There's a total of 92m2 habitable space. Here's the layout: Ground floor Sitting room - 5.7 x 5.47m2 - Tiled floor, exposed stone wall, granite fireplace with wood-burning stove, exposed beams and french doors leading to the garden. Kitchen - 5.48 x 2.78m2 - Tiled floor. Front facing window, ceramic sinks.

Hatch to loft The house has mains water and electricity connection. There is a telephone line to the property, but it is not currently in use but there is broadband internet connection. Heating is provided by the wood-burner and electric convector heaters. The windows on the first floor are double glazed and drainage is to a septic tank Outside The garden covers just over 3/4 of an acre, predominantly laid to lawn with some mature trees and shubs. It could either remain a low maintenance lawn, or it could be seen as a blank canvas for a green-fingered enthusiast. There is a block built garage with corrugated iron roof at the rear of the property. Location The house is in a pretty rural hamlet, entirely surrounded by its' own garden and with views down the valley. Villedieu-les-Poeles is a short drive away. A pretty town with an indoor swimming pool and a fantastic local produce market on Tuesday mornings. The beach at Granville is 25mins due west and Mont St Michel, Bayeux and Arranges are all well within an hour's drive. The Normandy landing beaches, Dinan and Rennes are a little further away, but easily accessible for a day trip. The ferry port at Caen is just an hour away, and Cherbourg is a 90min drive.
