This lovely Hotel Particulier, dating from 1750, is set in 0.43 acres of parkland planted with trees and comes with convertible outbuildings. The house comprises 10 main rooms including, an entrance hall with a large staircase, a dining room, a sitting room with Versailles parquet floors, 4 bedrooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms, two washrooms and attic space to convert. The property is only 11 km from the beach, and roughly 25 minutes from La Haye du Puits. The town was half destroyed by WWII but patient reconstructions have returned it to its former charms and now it centres on a lovely chateau, with Wednesdays being the main market day. There is a public garden ideal for picnics and the town plays a part in the tradition of horse-riding and horse breeding that started in the C17th by the King’s Minister Colbert who created Royal Stud Farms. There is a green lane (La Voie Verte) which is especially for horse-riding, although hiking and cycling is also allowed, and there are numerous local horse races. Ferries in Cherbourg can be reached in 30mins.
