A characterful French village house with approximately 3,520m² of garden, two outbuildings ready for conversion, and fantastic potential to create a gîte complex or small tourism business.
Set on the edge of a lively and welcoming village, this detached four-bedroom property offers a wonderful combination of space, character and potential.
The house is habitable but would benefit from some renovation and updating, making it an ideal opportunity for someone looking to create their own French home or develop a property with income potential.
The property has been much-loved as a second home for many years and retains plenty of traditional French charm.
The Village
The house is ideally positioned just on the edge of the village centre, within easy reach of the excellent range of local amenities.
The village offers:
Small supermarket
Village bar and restaurant
Pub
Boulangerie
Post office
Hardware store
Garage
Village school
This is a particularly vibrant village, making it a great option for those wanting to experience genuine French village life without being completely isolated.
The Main House
On the ground floor, a large entrance hall leads into the main lounge, which has a beautiful large fireplace and wood-burning stove, creating a lovely focal point and a cosy atmosphere.
To the rear of the property is the kitchen, overlooking the garden. It has been sympathetically decorated in a traditional French style and benefits from patio doors leading directly onto a secluded garden area — perfect for outdoor dining and enjoying the sunshine.
Also on the ground floor is a family bathroom with bath and shower over, together with a useful boot room/cloakroom, ideal for coats, boots and everyday storage.
There are also two additional storage rooms, one currently used as a utility room. Both offer exciting potential for conversion into additional accommodation or living space.
A separate WC with hand basin completes the ground floor.
Upstairs
The first floor provides four good-sized bedrooms, offering plenty of accommodation for family and guests.
Above the bedrooms is a fantastic-sized attic space, providing further storage and potentially additional accommodation, subject to the required permissions.
Outside
One of the real highlights of the property is the approximately 3,520m² (just under an acre) of garden.
The grounds offer plenty of space for enjoying the outdoors and include a variety of mature fruit trees and fruit bushes, with ample room for:
🌳 Lawns and gardens
🥕 Vegetable growing
🐔 Chickens
🍎 Fruit trees
☀️ Outdoor entertaining
🏡 Potential gîte accommodation
There is also an outside WC, which could be particularly useful if the garden were to be developed for camping or other outdoor accommodation.
Two Outbuildings – Fantastic Gîte Potential. The property benefits from two substantial outbuildings, offering an exciting opportunity for anyone looking to create additional accommodation.
One is a particularly charming and unique timber building, while the second is already classified as a house, giving it excellent potential for conversion.
Subject to the necessary permissions and renovation, these buildings could be transformed into attractive gîtes, creating the potential for a small holiday rental complex alongside the main owner's accommodation.
Combined with the generous garden, additional access and existing facilities, this could make an exciting project for someone looking to establish a small French holiday business.
Parking & Access
The main house has an attached garage, together with a gated entrance and driveway.
There is also the benefit of a second gated entrance, which could provide access to a larger parking area and would be particularly useful if the outbuildings were converted into gîtes or guest accommodation.
Location & Transport
Despite its peaceful village setting, the property is well placed for access to transport links.
The nearest train station is approximately 20 minutes away, providing a mainline connection to Paris, which can be reached in just over two hours.
The property is also conveniently located for the ferry ports:
Caen – approximately 1 hr 20 mins
Saint-Malo – approximately 1 hr 30 mins
Cherbourg – approximately 1 hr 50 mins
This makes the property particularly accessible from the UK and ideal as a permanent home, holiday home or investment project.
Services & Property Information
The property benefits from mains drainage, meaning there is no fosse septique to maintain.
Approximate annual taxe foncière: €800.
The house does require renovation and modernisation, but the main accommodation is habitable and has been enjoyed as a much-loved second home for many years. DPE G.
