Location: 





The property is situated in the southwest of Normandy, near the borders of Manche and Calvados,  approx. 5 kms from Sourdeval, the nearest town. Sourdeval has a good selection of shops and there’s an excellent weekly produce market, held on a Tuesday. The property is a short stroll from a lovely footpath alongside the River Sée.





The nearby market towns of Vire, Villedieu-les-Pôelles, Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët, Mortain and Tinchebray are all well worth exploring.





The beaches on the west coast are an hour’s drive away and Sourdeval is approximately 80 minutes drive from the port of Caen and an hour and forty minutes from Cherbourg. A little further afield are the D-Day landing beaches and the Mont St Michel.  The Lac de la Dathée, ideal for walking, fishing and boating, and an 18 hole golf course are within 15 minutes drive,  as is the Saint Sever forest.
