A beautifully presented four bed longère style house packed with character and original features, with outbuildings and a spacious two bed gite, all in over three acres or 1.2 hectares.The location is glorious and less than 2km to popular Barenton. The position is rural and very peaceful, but not isolated. This property is ready to move into but with scope to extend into the attic or develop the outbuildings, subject to permissions. The internal space is impressive. With recent electricity, plumbing, a geothermal central heating system and half of the roof replaced, this is a property that keeps on giving. Early viewing is essential.

Barenton with amenities is 1.8km. Ferries and airports within two hours. Mont St Michel and the coast about an hour or around 60km. St Malo 105km. Caen 109km. Rennes airport 105km. This is a real gem of a property.

Situated at the end of a no-through lane the location is tranquil. The property has two entrances with a separate access for the gite.
