Location
The property lies between two seaside towns in the south-west of France’s Manche department in Normandy. One of these towns, which has over 12,000 inhabitants, can be reached in ten minutes by car. It offers all shops and amenities for everyday life, as well as schools. From the train station, you can get to Paris in three hours. The other nearby town has over 4,000 inhabitants. It is one of the oldest coastal towns of Mont-Saint-Michel Bay. Its beach is well known. The property lies less than 200 metres from a beach and less than one kilometre from town-centre shops. Paris is only around three and a half hours away by car via the A84 motorway.
Description
Just outside the town, a public road runs along clifftops with a sweeping view of the neighbouring town, its vast beach and Mont-Saint-Michel Bay. The property is hidden behind a gate and tall hedges. It lies on high ground. A tarmacked drive runs up to the home. The dwelling mainly faces south. With part of it facing west and with its high position, you can admire a sea view from the house. It was built in the late 1970s in an L shape. It has a basement, a ground floor and a first floor in the roof space. The walls are made of concrete breeze blocks, coated with rendering. Slate facing covers the south and west elevations. The house is crowned with a hipped roof of flat tiles with broad eaves and a gutter attached to the roofing. A protruding section of the house has a triangular gable end with a first-floor balcony. On the south side, the roof has a double shed dormer, which also has eaves.
The house
The ground floor
The entrance door is on the south side. You step into a hallway that connects to rooms on both sides. A vast L-shaped reception room faces south and west. It features an imposing stone fireplace with an insert. Windows bring in an abundance of natural light and lead outside onto a large L-shaped terrace of pale stonework laid in an opus incertum pattern. A kitchen set back opens out into a dining area, which is also bathed in natural light and has a view outside. On the other side of the entrance hall, there is a hallway with cupboards that connects to an office, a bedroom, a lavatory and a bedroom with a bathroom. The floor is mainly covered with polished terracotta tiles.
The first floor
A spacious landing with cupboards connects to four bedrooms, including a main suite on the west side with a balcony that offers a magnificent sea view. This suite includes a walk-in wardrobe, a bathroom and a lavatory. Three other bedrooms share a bathroom and a lavatory. Two of these bedrooms have a view of the bay. The floors are carpeted, except in the bathrooms.
The basement
You reach the basement via stairs from the ground floor. A hallway connects to a garage, a games room with a sauna, a wine cellar, a utility room, a boiler room and a walk-in wardrobe. The whole basement is in very good condition, with floors of polished concrete and tiling.
The garden
The grassy garden is hilly and follows the natural slope of the plot. It is demarcated with hedges. A tarmacked drive runs across it and leads to the house and its adjoining garage. There is a swimming pool on the west side. It lies beside a barbecue area. And further away there is a pétanque court at a lower level.
Our opinion
This family home is a delightful gem, nestled just a stone’s throw from beaches, yet perched upon high ground in a renowned seaside town. The dwelling is comfortable and welcoming. Through the many broad windows that punctuate the facade, natural light floods the spacious reception room, from where you can admire far-reaching vistas across the famous Mont-Saint-Michel Bay. The property enjoys absolute privacy. The haven includes a vast garden, a terrace and a pleasant swimming pool. Indeed, it has all the ingredients of a true holiday home, where you can laze and have barbecues under the Normandy sun.
