A very attractive granite longere with slate roof situated in a peaceful rural setting in a tiny hamlet of just 4 houses. The nearest village is under 2kms drive and towns are just 5 minutes away. The property comes with almost 3000m2 of land and is easily accessible from the ferry ports and airports.

The pretty countryside of the Brittany/Normandy borders is within easy reach of many attractions including Mont St Michel, Cancale, D-day landing beaches and plenty of fun parks and children's centres. Lively towns are close by including St Hilaire-du-Harcouet with its bustling weekly market selling regional produce, the smart towns of Avranches and Fougeres are within 20 minutes.

The region is famous for its lush dairy meadows and pretty cider apple orchards which give account to the regional cuisine. The countryside is green and rolling whilst the weather is mild.

A communal driveway leads to the hamlet where a private drive takes you to the attractive stone longere. The neighbouring houses are not too close ensuring the property isn't isolated and affording local integration, whilst allowing privacy to enjoy a tranquil lifestyle.

A tarmaced drive leads right up to the main front door through very pretty floral flower beds and the house has fields to the rear and the side.

The front entrance leads into a large sitting room with monumental fireplace complete with wood burning stove and tiled floor. Exposed stone walls and beams provide plenty of character. Two half-glazed stable doors open onto the pretty shady back terrace.

From the sitting room a doorway leads into a vast kitchen/dining room which has the same tiled floor. Huge French doors lead to a terrace and the garden and the original rear door opens onto another terrace and the garden. The kitchen has fitted units and exposed beams, whilst the dining area is open to the apex of the roof making this a lovely bright and airy room.

Beautiful character chestnut stairs lead to a mezzanine landing currently used as a library and additional sleeping area (if required) and the huge A-frame beams have been left exposed making this a unique feature of the property. From the mezzanine, two doors lead to two large bedrooms.

The first has views over the back garden and door to an ensuite shower room. The second bedroom is the master bedroom and has a dormer window, with high ceilings and an ensuite bathroom. Both bedrooms feature exposed beams and this part of the property is serviced by its own septic tank.

Back downstairs, a second door from the sitting room leads up steps to another part of the house. This could easily be closed off and turned into a completely separate 3 bedroomed gite or second house. The steps open into a large room which would be the sitting room and this then leads to a larger double aspect room which would easily convert into the gite kitchen/dining room as there is plumbing in the upper floor level above and exit pipes to a second septic tank immediately outside.

A second door from the first room leads to a large store room which the owners had planned to convert into a downstairs shower room with WC. Again there is plumbing immediately above and the pipe work outside to connect to the second septic tank.

The double aspect room has a blocked up doorway which leads to a large room currently used as a wine cellar/store room and stairs up to the upper floor level above. At present there are the stud walls in place to create three bedrooms with fitted cupboards and wardrobes under and above the huge A-frame beams and a shower room with WC (WC already installed). This area would need velux windows fitting.

Outside and to the right of the property there is a door which opens into the wine cellar/store room where there is a basic kitchen with sink and cupboard but which is large enough to be converted into a kitchen/living room. Stairs lead to a large double aspect bedroom with views overlooking the back garden and orchard and a dormer window overlooking the front garden. The plumbing is in place for a shower and hand basin whilst a WC has already been installed. This part of the property would take little work to provide a large 1 bedroomed gite.

The main house has gas central heating and double glazing whilst the 3 bedroomed and 1 bedroomed "gite" areas are electrically heated.

As described above, this substantial property is not completed but is presently "entirely and comfortably" liveable as it is and for the remaining parts, the major part of the work has been done leaving, in the main, rewiring the upstairs bedrooms, some plasterboarding and finishing and plumbing connecting, etc giving a wonderful opportunity to create a large 5 bedroomed family home with separate 1 bedroomed annexe or a very large 2 bedroomed house with feature mezzanine and a 3 bedroomed and 1 bedroomed gite. The possibilities are endless and unique as properties of this nature are increasingly rare today.

Outside at the front of the house the land includes a pretty rockery and raised flower bed with lawn and further grassed area on the raised part to the front. A gravelled parking area leads to the side garden which is laid out to lawn and flower beds with an old chicken coop which is still used partially for chickens and partially for keeping the garden furniture and the mower etc. Continuing round the back of the house, there is a pretty terrace with pergola and ornamental fish pond plus two granite outbuildings, one of which is currently used to store garden and diy equipment, freezer, tumble drier, etc and the second (without roof), which could easily be reroofed or used as an open terrace or for further storage.

The rear land includes a full cider orchard if you fancy making your own (the mobile apple-press visits each year), various other fruit trees including a very rare "poire Doudou" pear tree, peach, plum, cherry, chestnut, walnut and hazelnut trees, a soft fruit bed including raspberries, strawberries, black, red and white currants, gooseberries and Worcester berries and a herb garden. The large vegetable plot provides most of the family's vegetables each year and there is a fenced run for the free range chickens. The garden enjoys pretty views of the surrounding countryside and from the house you can see the illuminated local village church at night.

The neighbouring houses in the hamlet are a French lady and two holiday homes so peace and tranquility are guaranteed.

The local village has an epicery/bar/restaurant and the nearest town of Louvigne du Desert is just 5 minutes drive where there are primary and nursery schools, supermarkets and other commerce. The large towns of Fougeres, Avranches and St Hilaire du Harcouet can be found within 15-20 minutes.

The A84 is just 10 minutes drive providing easy access and the ferry port of St Malo, airports at Dinard and Rennes at just over 3/4 hours drive, whilst Caen is 1 3/4 hours and Cherbourg is 2 hours away.

This is the perfect property for a family wanting a renovation project to finish or to return to the good life with a small holding type lifestyle.
