3-Bed Riverside House, Sourdeval, Manche

Property Description

Set within the historic Moulin du Rocher estate, this characterful home is situated in the beautiful Vallée de la Sée. Shrouded in history and with gardens overlooking the river Seé below, this is now a peaceful riverside home, conveniently close to local amenities in nearby Sourdeval.





Part of a former paper-making site dating back to at least the early 19th century, the house has been updated recently with a new kitchen, wood-burning stove and septic tank system. As you can see in the photos, the property is currently fully filled with books and furniture but behind the belongings, it has retained plenty of character, including exposed beams, granite fireplaces and an ornamental fireplace in the principal bedroom.
