BACK ON THE MARKET - A quiet location being that the property is the last of only 4 properties on a private lane so has absolutely no passing traffic. You are surrounded by farm land with peace and quiet assured. There are apple, damson, cherry, quince & chestnut trees and a huge mature walnut tree. The current owners harvested over 60kgs of nuts during 2023 season.
The land is L- shaped, to the front and large expanse to the side, all very private. The house itself is south facing. It is a very short drive to the nearest town of Saint Hilaire du Harcouet which has lots of shops and bars / restaurants and a famous weekly market. If you know the TV series 'Escape to the Chateau', it is where Dick and Angel purchased their chickens.
The property is a 2.25hr drive from both Cherbourg and Caen, both toll free and stress free. St Malo is even closer, about 1hr. There are lots of places within easy drives, the Normandy beaches, coastline and bigger towns like Rennes and not forgetting Mont St Michel.
Tax Foncieres for 2023/24 which was 494 Euro.
The septic tank was inspected in May this year and passed on all aspects except one. There was no inspection access to view where the pipes split for the filter bed. The current owners carried out these works in the summer so it would now fully pass an inspection.
Open to negotiation for some of the furniture and fixtures and fittings, including a fridge in the kitchen plus a fridge freezer in the utility, a washing machine and electric cooker.

The department of Manche is in Lower Normandy and is bordered with Calvados, Orne, Mayenne and Ille-et-Vilaine. The English Channel in the west, north and north-west coastlines makes getting here to its many ports very easy from the UK. There is also an airport in Caen and many others are easily accessible in the surrounding regions such as Rennes airport.
History is all over the department through its museums and heritage, discovering the local traditions and culture as well as Chateaux, religious monuments, water mills, maritime sites and gardens is easy to do. The biggest 'must-do' is a visit to Mont Saint Michel.
Tourism plays a major role in the economy of the department which is fine because there is so much to see and do.
