Barnes has the exclusive listing of a former half-timbered press epitomising the charm and authenticity of Norman architecture, nestling in 1.2 hectares (3 acres) of landscaped grounds and bounded by a river, creating a bucolic environment on the outskirts of Caen (Caen-Lisieux road / 12km (7 miles) from the A13 motorway / 2.5 hours from Paris - 10 minutes from Mézidon-Canon station). The main house has a floor area of 220m² (2,368 sq ft) and features, on the ground floor, a good-sized entrance, a spacious 64m² (689 sq ft) dual-aspect lounge/living room with insert fireplace, a kitchen, an office, a bedroom and a shower room. Upstairs, a spacious landing with a soaring ceiling leads to 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate toilet. Each room has retained hallmark period features: exposed beams, generous proportions, and noble materials. The half-timbered outbuilding has a charming 60m² (646 sq ft) studio apartment (with kitchen, bathroom and toilet) upstairs and, on the garden level, a double carport, a boiler room, and a wine cellar. Outside, the enclosed garden, planted with large trees and bordered by a river, also has a tennis court in need of renovation. This authentic property with great character offers a simple blend of charm and nature, in a wonderful location that is both bustling and relaxing. Barnes is also in the Côte de Nacre area! From Ouistreham to Port en Bessin, and from Caen to Bayeux! Fees payable by the seller - Christophe Lhomme - Sales agent - EI - RSAC 508 574 969
