The arrangement of space at this 2-bed inverted stone house is so clever. To make the most of the beautiful rafters and roof space, the sunlight and the views, the living areas are on the first floor, while the bedrooms are at ground level. The garden covers approx 1 acre and the lovely town of Vire is just 3km away.

The house is interesting from the moment you step in the front door. The stairs take you up to the kitchen end of the living area where you look straight through the original beams and stone walls to the far end of the property, right at the other gable end. Large picture windows to the south and east let in plenty of light and there is a lovely view from the west facing window in the kitchen. Two wood burning stoves keep the space very cosy.

The ground floor is where you find all the practical elements of the house. Having said that, the master bedroom is enormous with doors to the garden, enormous windows and an equally sumptuous ensuite bathroom. There is also an adjoining storage area that is connected to the house that could potentially be converted into additional accommodation.

The garden is covers almost 1.25 acres and is very pretty. Surrounded by mature trees and mostly laid to lawn, there is an ornamental pond that is particularly popular with the local wildlife.

The house is just 3km from Vire, so an easy bike ride to pick up the morning croissants. Vire is a good sized town with all the amenities you might need. There is a mainline train station with direct trains to the coast at Granville or Paris. Fridays are where the fresh produce market comes to town and if you need a mid-week top up, you've also got the Tuesday market in nearby Sourdeval just 13km away. THe beach at Granville is approx a 50min drive, so perfect for day trips. Other activities in the local area include a riding school, bowling, 18 hole golf course, lake, swimming pool, skate park, gym and of course, schools, supermarkets, hospitals etc etc.
