Former farmhouse of 253 sqm in Canville-la-Rocque – 4 bedrooms + a 50 sqm gîte renovated in 2023

Stéphanie Nash and Leggett Immobilier International are delighted to offer for sale an exceptional former farmhouse in Normandy, located in the heart of the Cotentin, in the Manche, just a few kilometres from the beaches of the west coast. Set in a preserved rural environment with no immediate neighbours, this rare property provides an ideal setting for developing a gîte business, an equestrian centre, or any tourism- or nature-based professional activity.

The property sits on approximately 9,000 m² of land and comprises a 204 m² main house offering four bedrooms and generous living spaces, along with an independent 50 m² gîte, fully renovated in 2023 and ready for immediate use as a holiday rental. Numerous outbuildings and barns complete the property, offering exceptional development potential. These buildings can be converted into additional gîtes, stables, or storage spaces.

Set on approximately one hectare of land, this authentic character property in Normandy is arranged around a large central courtyard, offering an ideal setting for a charming gîte project, a tourism-related business, equestrian use, or simply a beautiful family home.

The main house, with a surface area of around 205 m², immediately impresses with its warm atmosphere, generous proportions and well-preserved authenticity.

From the moment you enter, the charm is evident, with a formal entrance featuring a stone staircase, beneath which lies a functional space that can be used as a cloakroom or wine cellar. A 10 m² office, enhanced by original cement tiles, provides an ideal workspace for remote working or managing an on-site professional activity. The ground floor also includes a cosy living room with an open fireplace, as well as a separate WC.

The house then opens onto a bright and spacious 31 m² living area, flooded with natural light thanks to its French doors and skylights. This welcoming space combines a dining area, a high-quality fitted kitchen, and a lounge, creating a perfect setting for family life or entertaining guests. Direct access leads to a paved terrace, ideal for outdoor dining. A large and highly practical utility room of approximately 15 m² completes this level.

Upstairs, a hallway leads to two generous bedrooms of approximately 15 m² and 27 m², a dressing room, a WC, and a large 12 m² bathroom fitted with both a bathtub and a walk-in shower, offering excellent comfort whether as a main residence or for use as bed and breakfast accommodation.

The top floor features two additional bedrooms of 21 m² and 20 m², with access to a shower room of approximately 4 m². This area, which requires some refreshing, provides further potential to increase accommodation capacity—an important asset for a holiday rental or gîte business, or as a dedicated space for children.

Two outbuildings adjoining the main house further enhance the development potential of this former farmhouse, allowing for the creation of independent accommodation, storage areas, stables, or workshops for DIY enthusiasts, depending on your plans.

The property also includes a separate 50 m² independent house, comprising a lovely 24 m² living space with kitchen, dining area and lounge, complete with a wood-burning stove. It offers two bedrooms of around 10 m², a separate WC, and a 4 m² shower room with space for a washing machine. A garden to the rear awaits landscaping, and adjoining the house are an open garage and a closed garage.

Surrounding the central courtyard, you will find various hangars, garages and former livestock buildings, offering extensive possibilities for conversion or storage.

Heating is provided by an electric system.

Combining period charm, comfortable living spaces and strong potential for economic development, this property represents a rare opportunity to realise a rural tourism project, gîte business or equestrian activity in Normandy, in a peaceful and sought-after setting—or to create a magnificent family home.
