French property in Normandy - Calvados - Lovely old 5-bedroom farmhouse, near the coast with established B&B business & plenty of land and outbuildings

The entry to the property is via a private drive which leads into the central courtyard, surrounded by the main house and the outbuildings.

The ground floor of the main house has the large dining room with a cosy woodburner, tiled floor and stairs leading to the first floor. All rooms have oak-beamed ceilings.

The kitchen is stunning and has custom oak units throughout, blended with original features and a tiled floor. The old fireplace currently houses a Godin range cooker and there are plenty of custom-built storage cupboards. The sitting room is carpeted and has a working fireplace and exposed stonework walls. At the rear is a utility room with sinks, laundry area, the oil-fired central heating boiler and a separate WC.

The first floor has five bedrooms, two of which are currently the bed & breakfast accommodation. One has en-suite shower, basin & WC - also a balcony overlooking the garden. There's a family bathroom comprising roll-top bath, separate shower, basin & WC. Two other bedrooms are doubles and look out onto the courtyard.

The fifth bedroom has en-suite shower (very large), with contemporary styled basin & WC. There's a dressing room nearby and the upper hall area has built-in bookcases - this area is currently used as a study area. A useful storage room at the rear could easily be converted to further bedroom space.

Adjoining the house is a large workshop which has plans for conversion to separate accommodation. The extensive outbuildings are sound and also offer scope for further conversion.

The gardens surround the property and there's a productive vegetable garden with greenhouse nearby. The fields are flat and have easy access.

The proximity to the coast is a real bonus here, in under 10 minutes you can be at the popular resort of Grandcamp Maisy and from there you have all the D-day beaches extending east towards Caen and the ferry port of Ouistreham.
