PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Conveniently located 10 minutes from St Lô in rural Normandy, this traditional 'longere' has been fully renovated and has double glazing and oil-fired central heating. The adjoining accommodation provides potential for useful income, both with separate access. The mature level gardens and trees surrounding the house give both privacy and pleasure

With easy access for the main county town of St Lô and local market town of Torigni-sur-Vire, this ivy clad Norman long-house sits amid rolling farmland. A private drive leads to the house, with parking areas and gardens in front and to the side.
