Immaculately Presented Country Home, Percy-En-Normandie, Manche

Property Description

This immaculate 4-bed country home comes with outbuildings, studio and almost an acre of land. The property has been fully renovated and manages to strike a lovely balance between the traditional and the contemporary. It’s within easy reach of shops, restaurants and the ferry ports.





The current owner has installed a brand new kitchen, new double glazed windows with shutters on the ground floor, rewiring, new bathrooms on the first floor, custom made wardrobes to the master bedroom. The house would be ideal for someone wishing to work from home in a studio or offices or to finish converting the Triplex into a gîte.  The rooms are spacious and there is a delightful blend of character features and modern fittings.  The old bakery also offers possibilities for renovation into additional accommodation, subject to planning.





The property is situated between the towns of Percy-en-Normandie and Hambye. It is just over  ten minutes drive from Villedieu-les-Poêles and is conveniently situated just off the main road from the ferries (A84). It is less than 90 minutes from Cherbourg and an hour from Caen Ouistreham. Dieppe is about a 3.5 hour drive and Calais is about 4.5 hours drive.  The nearest airports are at Caen Carpiquet and Dinard.  The nearest beach is at Granville which is 25 minutes to the west and Mont St. Michel, Bayeux and Avranches are all within an hour’s drive.  





The pretty market town of Percy has a supermarket, shops and restaurants. There is also an excellent weekly produce market held on a Saturday.

Message from the seller: 





“What I like about this house is that it has a really happy and tranquil feel to it. The kitchen’s an absolute joy for those who like to cook.  No bad vibes in this house, no traffic noise (apart from the odd tractor), just the sound of birdsong!  It’s just a few minutes from shops, banks and all the ‘stuff’ we need in the 21st Century.”
