House Carentan-les-Marais - 3 bedrooms - 187m²

In the heart of the Cotentin and Bessin Marshes Regional Nature Park, in a peaceful setting amid unspoilt bocage countryside, Bayeux Sotheby’s International Realty is pleased to present this charming, typically 18th-century farmstead for sale. It comprises a main house offering approximately 187m² of living space, together with a range of outbuildings.

The property is situated approximately 5 kilometres from Carentan, a lively town with a wide range of shops and services, as well as a railway station on the Paris–Cherbourg line, which departs from Paris Saint-Lazare. The coast and the historic beaches of Utah Beach are approximately 15 minutes away.

The property extends to approximately 8 hectares, comprising a landscaped drive, an entrance courtyard, an ornamental garden, former agricultural land and contiguous meadows surrounding the property.

On entering the house, you will be struck by the quality and beauty of the Valognes stone staircase leading to the upper floor. On either side of the entrance, there is a dual-aspect sitting room with a period-style fireplace and a double-coffered ceiling, and a dining room typical of the region, featuring a particularly striking stone fireplace. Beyond this, on one side, is a beautiful, contemporary fitted kitchen with a French door opening onto a terrace overlooking the ornamental garden; on the other is a study with a cloakroom and guest WC. A utility room and boiler room complete the ground floor.

The first floor comprises a landing and corridor leading to three lovely, generously proportioned bedrooms, two of which are through-rooms. One has its own shower room, while a second bathroom, with a shower, vanity unit and WC, serves the other two bedrooms.

The second floor, beneath the eaves and featuring four dormer windows, offers excellent potential for creating additional sleeping accommodation. The entire space is insulated.

The outbuildings are built of stone and cob and include a barn used as a garage, a former cider press, two horse boxes, a tack room, a storeroom with a lockable cellar and a woodshed. Former haylofts are situated above. In addition to these former farm buildings, there is a former livestock shed of approximately 700m² with outdoor pens. This could be converted for equestrian use, with the creation of additional stables, paddocks, an outdoor arena and/or an indoor riding school.

Our view: a property ideally configured for a small horse-breeding operation, whether for French Trotters or Selle Français horses, particularly as it is situated in a renowned breeding area close to famous stud farms and equestrian centres. The estate would also be well suited to a small-scale cattle-breeding operation.

• 187 m² home with 3 bedrooms in a peaceful, preserved bocage setting.
• 18th-century farmhouse with outbuildings, about 5 km from Carentan.
