This charming property is set in the heart of almost 5 hectares of beautifully fenced, shaded pastureland, featuring a pleasant garden, a lovely orchard and a vegetable patch. Separated from the road by a tree-lined driveway gracefully bordered by beds of daffodils, it overlooks the rolling landscape of this part of Normandy, facing south. The house is of traditional construction, built from local stone, spread over two floors and a large attic, yet featuring modern comforts (heat pump heating, large wood-burning stoves). Beautiful, light-filled living spaces, spanning the width of the house, welcome visitors, whilst a ground-floor bedroom looks out onto the pasture. Upstairs, a huge study-library invites you to read whilst keeping an eye on the horses or deer. Two further bedrooms share a bathroom. The spacious layout makes it easy to move around this 195m² house (plus a 15m² utility room/garden entrance). It also features a flower-filled terrace, perfect for soaking up the sun whilst looking out over the garden and pastures. 2 wells. The horses will also benefit from a practical stable comprising three large stalls (3 x 4.50 m) on a rubber surface and a tack room, accessed via a sheltered corridor and opening at the rear onto an easy-to-clean concrete area for washing or grooming. Riders will appreciate the large 60 x 20 metre fibre-reinforced sand arena, situated on higher ground and accessible from the stables. Well-surrounded, it offers an incredible view of the grounds and the horizon. The equipment and fodder shed, which extends the stable area, provides easy storage for the tractor or bales. The icing on the cake is a building facing the courtyard: beneath a large open loft, it houses an indoor swimming pool heated by a heat pump. A rest room and toilet facilities complete the pool house. For storing garden tools, a workshop adjoins two garages with sectional doors and a pond awaiting the spring arrival of water lilies, amongst which carp swim. The greenhouse is ready for cold-sensitive vegetables, and the vegetable beds await the end of the frosts: this house is a little paradise, serene and welcoming, just 20 minutes from the outskirts of Caen, 10 minutes from the heart of Villers-Bocage, a small, vibrant town, and 6 minutes from the A84 motorway junction.
