Amber Ashby and Leggett International are proud to represent this charming stone countryside house near Mortain, a lovely Normandy retreat and an ideal lock-up-and-leave holiday home. Set at the end of a quiet country lane, the property offers a peaceful setting, a secluded garden and comfortable accommodation, with the towns of Mortain, Barenton and Domfront all a short drive away.

You enter the house directly into the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, which features a log burner, exposed beams and a wooden ceiling. Stairs lead to the first floor from the kitchen. Also off the kitchen is a ground-floor bedroom with an en-suite shower room, WC and washing machine.

Upstairs, an inner hallway and landing lead to a further large double bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. There is also a spacious bathroom with a separate bath and shower cubicle, and a WC.

Outside, the house is tucked away at the end of a small driveway. The garden opens out to the left, where you will find a small apple orchard and fruit bushes. Directly in front of the house, the garden is mainly laid to lawn, with mature shrubs and trees. It is a wonderfully private blank canvas, ready for a new owner to put their own stamp on it. There may be space to create a sunny terrace for outdoor meals or morning coffee, alongside plenty of shaded spots to enjoy during warmer days.

Attached to the end of the house is a large storage barn, ideal for garden furniture, tools and equipment. Subject to the relevant planning permissions, it could also offer the possibility of creating a covered summer kitchen or family space.

Although you feel immersed in your own piece of Normandy countryside, the property is not overlooked. There are two neighbours nearby, while the local towns and their amenities are just a short drive away.

A new fosse septique system was installed in 2023.

The property is ideally situated for enjoying the beautiful Normandy countryside, whilst remaining within easy reach of everyday amenities. The nearby towns of Mortain and Barenton offer local shops, boulangeries, restaurants, pharmacies and essential services, with supermarkets, schools and medical facilities also available in Mortain. Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët, a little further afield, offers a wider choice of shopping, healthcare and amenities, as well as its popular weekly Wednesday market. The surrounding towns also host traditional weekly markets, where you can enjoy the local produce and charm of everyday French life.

For days out, the spectacular waterfalls and woodland walks of Mortain are close by, whilst the historic towns of Domfront and Vire offer plenty to explore. The magnificent Mont-Saint-Michel and its surrounding bay are also within easy driving distance, making a wonderful day out.

For travelling further afield, Vire and Flers offer railway connections, whilst the ferry ports of Saint-Malo, Cherbourg and Caen-Ouistreham provide access to the UK and Channel Islands. Rennes and Caen airports are also within reach.
