Sainte Honorine du Fay, Calvados €430,000

This beautifully proportioned property is MANY PEOPLE'S DREAM of their 'Chateau in France' and it is FOR SALE AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE. The house, which has an imposing entrance drive along a tree lined avenue, sits in wooded parkland in which there is a small pond. The house is in good condition generally, although the kitchen does require a complete make-over, allowing the new owner to fit the units and appliances of their own choice. The central heating boiler was replaced in 2011 and because the property is on mains drains there is no septic tank to maintain. The property belonged to an internationally renowned French artist, Jaques Deshaies, and it is being sold by his family. An original studio is included in the sale, which can only but add to the provenance of this lovely house.


ABOUT THE AREA

Ste Honorine du Fay is 20 minutes the seaport of Caen, so is extremely accessible from the UK. The village is also around half an hour from the Normandy beaches - indelibly associated with the second world war, but also beautiful in their own right as coastal resorts. The village is also around half an hour from Bayeau, famous for the tapestry which depicted William the Conqueror's victory against King Harold. The property is therefore ideally placed to become a chambres d'hotes business as well as having the potential to be a lovely family home with a bit of history attached to it.
