House Barneville-Carteret - 3 bedrooms - 230m²

Barneville-Carteret – Charming Stone House

This delightful stone house is located in the northern part of the Cotentin Peninsula, a region renowned for its wild landscapes where majestic cliffs blend seamlessly with rolling sand dunes.

It embodies all the beauty and authenticity of 18th-century Norman heritage.

A unique home, it reflects traditional craftsmanship in its construction while offering modern comforts thanks to its renovation (underfloor heating, aluminum double-glazed windows).

The result is a property that retains a rustic charm with the warmth and coziness of an old-world home.

Architecture and Materials

Stone houses in northern Cotentin are built from local rock, mainly granite or schist, sourced from nearby quarries.

Mullioned window surrounds blend harmoniously into the natural environment.

These materials provide exceptional resistance to the elements, especially the coastal winds and frequent rainfall.

The thick stone walls—often over 50 cm—are a hallmark of these buildings.

Roof

The slate roof, with its steep pitch, ensures efficient water drainage.

The roof is in excellent condition.

A Cozy Interior

Inside, the home is a true haven.

Terracotta tile floors combined with exposed oak or chestnut beams preserve the rustic character while offering a warm, welcoming ambiance.

An Enchanting Setting

The house fits perfectly into its surroundings, nestled in a garden framed by traditional stone walls, often adorned with hollyhocks, New Zealand flax, lavatera, and wild or exotic plants typical of this temperate region.

Just a short distance away lie the fine sandy beaches of the Dunes d’Attainville, and the lively atmosphere of this popular seaside resort in summer makes it an ideal place to live or vacation.

Detailed Description

Dating back to 1790, this residence has stood the test of time and been tastefully renovated to incorporate modern conveniences while remaining faithful to its character.

A small workshop offers space for garden tools.
