Character property in Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, since its construction in 1850, this property has remained in the same family and each generation has evolved the spaces, the volumes, but has maintained the elements that bear witness to the period.

Today, it presents more than 200m2 of living space divided into 10 main rooms, where styles blend, touches Neo-Classical, Second Empire, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, contemporary.

1900 tiles, stone and granite paving, parquet floors, beveled windows, old fireplaces.

- Ground floor: Is made up of large living rooms; some turned and open onto the garden, others more intimate, with fireplaces. The glass roof, initially for use as a laundry, has retained its zinc work table, its granite tubs and its pumps; It now offers an additional living space opening onto the rear terrace.

- 1st floor: A landing leads to a mezzanine (with library), two bedrooms, an office and a shower room & WC.

- 2nd floor: Consists of two other bedrooms, a bathroom and wc.

- Outside: An area reserved for parking from the entrance.

A first courtyard at the front, shaded to hide the main street.

At the rear, a terrace and another courtyard, sunnier (south) and planted, with 2 large stone cellars.

Finally, due west, an enclosed garden, with a pond and a secondary exit leading to an alley at the rear (which leads to the shore, 150m away).

The last major works (roof, attic) were carried out at the end of the 90s. Work is still to be planned, in particular to bring this complex up to current standards of comfort, but the well-preserved period features will only be better highlighted.

The department of Manche is in Lower Normandy and is bordered with Calvados, Orne, Mayenne and Ille-et-Vilaine. The English Channel in the west, north and north-west coastlines makes getting here to its many ports very easy from the UK. There is also an airport in Caen and many others are easily accessible in the surrounding regions such as Rennes airport.

History is all over the department through its museums and heritage, discovering the local traditions and culture as well as Chateaux, religious monuments, water mills, maritime sites and gardens is easy to do. The biggest 'must-do' is a visit to Mont Saint Michel.

Tourism plays a major role in the economy of the department which is fine because there is so much to see and do.
