Property description

The property is a rambling 17th century farmhouse in the heart of the Calvados countryside. Built from Caen stone its exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and floor to ceiling fireplaces are packed full of character and it has been lovingly renovated and restored.

The farmhouse is currently used as a family home plus two gites for rental although it has also recently been used as three gites. The specialist gite business is ten years old and a leader in its field. It enjoys great success, generating a very healthy income stream with the possibility to expand (average rental income of €30k per gîte per annum).

The house has been completely renovated and if you require a 'turn-key' property with a healthy income this is it. On the other hand if you're looking for a project there are plenty of outbuildings and attics with potential and the opportunity for expansion. The grounds offer enough space to grow vegetables, raise livestock and stable a pony without being overwhelming.
And above all you're in the countryside but close enough to everything not to feel isolated or inconvenienced.
