House in PASSAIS LA CONCEPTION , Orne , Normandy

This is a deceptively spacious property situated in a quiet rural hamlet. An end of a terrace of 200 year old rural dwellings, this is a south-facing, double fronted stone farmhouse that has been extended at the rear to incorporate a pretty colombage building with an adjoining former bread oven.
Surrounded by fields the buildings are ranged along a private lane for access. The barn faces the house across the access lane.

Ground Floor.
You enter a large 27m2 hallway with the large and light double aspect 37.6m2 living room with feature fireplace and woodburning stove to your left. Ahead of you is the bright kitchen of 23m2 with doors leading to a sunny patio area. Beyond the kitchen towards the back of the house, you find a small utility area that also houses the hot water heater and a good sized 16m2 work room with stairs leading to the third bedroom on the first floor, making it easy to divide the house should you wish to.

First Floor.
Wood stairs with glass balustrading take you to an impressive, light landing that acts as a reading/office area of about 32m2 into eaves and taking into account the stairs.

To your left is the large triple aspect master bedroom of 32m2 and to the right of the stairs is a shower room of 5.49m2. Another doorway that goes through to the second bedroom of 21m2 into eaves. A door off this bedroom goes to a vestibule with storage and another shower room of about 3.5m2. Off here is the third bedroom of 17m2 that has ladder stairs that lead to the work room on the ground floor.

The house has been completely renovated with new plumbing, electrics, septic tank. It is wonderful, light and very cosy having been well insulated as part of the renovation work. Double glazed throughout, the space is excellent and the house is economical to run. The owner has taken care to use quality materials, solid wood flooring, traditional tomettes on the ground floor and has emphasised the character with exposed beams throughout.

Outside.
The garden to the side and rear of the house is mature with fruit trees and other mature planting. There are raised beds for an easy to maintain vegetable garden and a lawned area. Across the access lane is a huge stone barn that provides useful additional storage and/or workshop space.

A gorgeous home and not to be missed.
