Property Gallery
This beautiful ancient stone farmhouse is peacefully set in an acre of mature gardens with lawns running down to a magnificent 10 x 5m private heated swimming pool. The surrounding countryside is Normandy at its best, rolling fields, apple orchards, spotty brown and white cows, and yet all less than ½ hour away from superb sandy beaches that never seem to get crowded. Sailing, fishing, golf available locally.
