4 bed villa for sale

Barenton, Manche, Normandie

Set in the rolling Normandy countryside with breathtaking views down the valley, this beautifully maintained stone and colombage farmhouse offers a rare blend of period character and modern comfort. The property sits in 11,297 m2 (approx. 2.8 acres) of gardens, paddocks, and meadows, complete with a selection of charming outbuildings.

Main House – 178 m2 Habitable Space
Lovingly restored with attention to detail, the main house retains original features such as exposed beams, brick fireplaces, terracotta and oak flooring, and bespoke solid oak doors throughout.

Ground Floor
A welcoming lounge (5.91 × 5.70 m) with wood floors, a large brick fireplace, and views to both front and rear leads into a light-filled kitchen/dining room with terracotta tiles, solid worktops, and quality fitted units. An inner hall connects to a practical utility room, cloakroom, and a spacious L-shaped sitting room (6.74 × 6.28 m max) with exposed stone walls, twin sets of glazed double doors, and a gas-fired boiler discreetly housed in a cupboard.

First Floor
The landing, flooded with light from multiple windows, opens to four generous bedrooms. The principal bedroom features built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. A further family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, and there’s access to a large attic offering development potential.

Grounds & Outbuildings
The landscaped gardens are home to mature oak, apple, plum, fig, and walnut trees, plus magical tucked-away seating areas. Outbuildings include a stone granary, cider press with water and electricity, a log store, workshop/garage, and further storage – several with potential for conversion. The land is divided into lawns, paddocks (suitable for horses), and courtyards, with ample parking.

Location
Peacefully set yet close to amenities, the property is around an hour from the coast and ideally located for visiting Normandy’s highlights including Mont Saint-Michel, the Bayeux Tapestry, and the d-Day beaches.
