7 bed villa for sale

La Folie, Calvados, Normandie

Entering the property via the private driveway we find a separate area for parking in front of the main house. A large hedge offers privacy from the barns and agricultural areas. The spacious entrance hall offers access through to the fully fitted farmhouse kitchen (31m2), featuring wood burner and exposed beams, double aspect window and access to the rear utility room with shower and W.C. From the kitchen we go through to the main living area (34m2) offering exposed beamed ceiling, triple aspect windows and an open fireplace. The ground floor is rounded out with a huge saloon of 40m2, used as a dining room for family gatherings or possibly as a breakfast room if exploiting the property as a gîte or chambre d'hotes. Ascending the impressive Calvadosian style staircase we find a hallway running the length of the first floor. From which we have access to six bedrooms and three shower/bathrooms. The bedrooms are spacious and light thanks to the large south facing windows allowing the sunlight to flood the rooms. A staircase leads from this landing upto the 7th bedroom and two storage areas in the loft. On the farm side of things we have two enormous stone barns, one attached to the main house and the other forming an L in a southerly direction. Offering various entrances and uses (Ask about conversion possibilities), they offer a myriad of possibilities. At the rear of the barns there is a large hard standing area and further agricultural structures. The layout of the land offers owners visibility of animals from the farmhouse both to the front and the rear. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and electric radiators. It has a very attractive 'D' energy rating, uncommon for such a distinguished property. Located just 8 minutes from the busting small town of Trevieres with its weekly market and just 12 minutes to the train station of Lison, with trains to Paris (2h30) this property offers a new lifestyle and many possibilities for the new owner.
