About the home

This attractive property was purchased as a ruin in 1997 & after 8 years of patient restoration has been converted into a comfortable & spacious holiday home while still retaining its unique traditional rural character with 1 double bedroom, 2 twin bedrooms & 3 bath/shower rooms, a sitting room, dining room & fully equipped kitchen.

It is ideally situated for a relaxing holiday with lovely walks in this hilly scenic countryside & yet within easy reach of interesting historic & medieval towns which have excellent super-marklets, local markets & restaurants. Due to the excellent French road network it is easy to get to other places of interest such as the Normandy beaches,
the Bayeux Tapestry, Mont St Michel & numerous interesting chateaux & gardens & golf courses.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The spacious accommodation is on 3 floors with 2 bedrooms & bathroom on the 1st floor & 1 bedroom plus shower room in the attic with the possibility of an extra fold-up bed being made available on the landing of the attic. The kitchen has a breakfast table with 4 chairs.

The sitting room is furnished with a large comfortable sofa, 2 arm chairs & several upright chairs plus satellite TV & a music centre. In the dining room there is a large oak dining table & chairs, a writing table & private amoir(oak cupboard). Each of these rooms have a wood-burning stove in the large traditional granite fireplace & the floors are tiled with rugs with ceilings supported by attractive old oak beams.

Please note that the stairs in the house are quite steep but quite accessible for the elderly & young children with care.

Regrettably there is no land-line telephone available nor internet connection but mobile reception is good. However there is an internet cafe in Tinchebray(6 miles).

Further details outdoors:
There are extensive gravel terraces to the front & rear where garden chairs & tables are available for enjoying ones meals outside or on the lawn under the shade of the apple trees. A BBQ is available but charcoal is not supplied & there is a boule set for playing boule. In summer a plunge pool is available at the rear for cooling off! At the rear of the kitchen is a roof terrace where drinks can be taken in the evening watching the sunset.

There is a large orchard to the front of the house & a field to the rear with young wood lands on the boundaries of the property in which to explore. An attractive sunken footpath can be followed below the laundry green.Not far away is a farm owned by English people where children can see a variety of farm animals such as horses, pigs, goats, geese, hens, turkeys, chicken & ducks.

Further details

There is an English caretaker who lives within 5 minutes walking distance who is able to deal with any problems & advise guests about places to visit. Our neighbour who is French & speaks a little English lives in the nearest house to ours & is employed to look after the garden & the plunge pool during the summer. The plunge pool is only available from 15th June when the weather is warm enough.

If required a cleaner can be made available by arrangement with the caretaker.

Also in the winter months there is an additional charge for electricity in excess of 8kh/day.

Kitchen & breakfast room

The Normandy / Orne region

This southern part of Normandy is very rural with livestock farming being the principal agricultural activity. The countyryside is hilly with many small fields surrounded by banks of trees & dotted with woodland. The climate is similar to that of southern England & temperatures in the summer can reach 30C(86F).

Due to the excellent roads of this region it is easy to visit places of interest in a day such as the medieval town of Domfront(13k), Falaise the birthplace of William the Conqueror(57k), Mont St Michel(67k) & Bayeux to see the famous tapestry(82k).

The Flers area

Flers(15km) is the nearest major commercial & shopping centre with several large supermarkets plus a street & covered market twice weekly for local produce, swimming pool, bowling alley, wine cellar & a variety of good restaurants. There is good local shopping at Tinchebray(10km) with an excellent supermarket & 24 hour filling station. Nearby in the village of St Cornier des Landes(3km) there is a mini-supermarket with its own butchery, bakery & wine cellar.
