About this property

Normandy Farmhouse with Pastureland

Set at the end of a no-through lane, this sympathetically restored Normandy farmhouse offers a peaceful rural setting with open views across its own 1.8 hectares of pastureland. The south-facing property is not remote: two villages with local amenities are around 10 minutes away, and the western coast is approximately 20 minutes by car. With 270 sqm of living space, five en-suite bedrooms and two reception rooms, it is well suited to family living, a chambres d’hôtes business or a smallholding, with potential to create a gîte or separate accommodation.

The accommodation is arranged to provide flexibility for residents and guests. One entrance opens through a sunroom into a reception room used for dining and sitting, with underfloor heating and an open fireplace fitted with a heat exchanger. Formerly the kitchen, its services remain in place, offering scope to reinstate it. From here, a hall with a cloakroom and staircase leads to three bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room. A substantial sliding door connects the hall to the family sitting room, which has original beams, doors opening onto the terrace and a large Godin wood-burning stove. A second staircase leads to a further bedroom with bathroom and dressing area. The kitchen has a dining area and wood-burning stove, with a separate cloakroom and laundry room nearby. Above it, a fifth bedroom with shower room and mezzanine is currently used as a studio and has its own staircase.

The house is heated and supplied with hot water by a geothermal heat pump. Outside, the attached garden and vegetable garden sit alongside three fields with excellent pasture, suitable for equestrian use, horticulture or a smallholding. A long traditional barn is divided into four sections and includes a hayloft; there is also a tiled garage with an attached shelter and a hardstanding area. The property retains original features while providing practical, versatile accommodation.

Located in the Soulles area between Coutances and Saint-Lô, the property is around 20 minutes from Saint-Lô and approximately 15 minutes from the A84. The ports of Cherbourg and Ouistreham are about 75 minutes away, while the coast, Bayeux, Mont-Saint-Michel and the D-Day landing beaches are within reach. This peaceful corner of Normandy combines countryside privacy with convenient access to nearby villages and regional destinations.
