Amber Ashby and Leggett Immobilier International are proud to present this beautifully restored Character village home built in 1759, with Gîtes, Barns & Development Potential in the heart of the Rural Normandy countryside

Situated in the lively village of Bion, within walking distance of the local bar and convenience store, this substantial character property dating back to 1759 offers a blend of period charm, practical family living and exciting business or development potential in the Normandy countryside.

Lovingly restored over the past three years, the current owners have undertaken extensive renovation works with care and attention to detail, preserving the character of the property while improving comfort and functionality for modern living. A particular feature of the house is the custom-made artisanal oak staircase, designed as a central focal point and providing an elegant flow through the upper floors of the property.

The main house offers spacious accommodation arranged over three floors.

Entering through the front entrance, you are welcomed into a large and tastefully renovated lounge/salon featuring a historic fireplace at the heart of the home. The reception space flows naturally through to the fully equipped kitchen, installed within the last three years, offering generous storage, quality fittings and attractive floor tiles imported from Spain.

The first floor comprises two double bedrooms, one benefiting from an en-suite bathroom, together with a study and a separate family bathroom. The rooms throughout the property have been carefully renovated while retaining the original character of the house.

On the second floor are two further spacious bedrooms, including one with a dressing room, along with an additional family bathroom, making the property suitable for larger families, visiting guests or tourism accommodation.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a range of useful outbuildings and development opportunities.

An external utility room adjoins an atelier/workshop with potential for further development above, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Surrounding the enclosed courtyard are several additional outbuildings, including two potential gîtes, one where renovation works have already commenced, and another requiring more extensive restoration to create comfortable habitable accommodation.

A further large barn full of character is currently used for storage but offers significant potential for conversion into additional gîtes, a Brocante, workshop space, games room, entertaining area, indoor swimming pool or other tourism-related projects, subject to the relevant planning consents.
