Le Favril, Eure
€249,000

A beautiful pair of thatched properties, in "L" formation, which includes the main house in one building, and a "Maison d'Amis" - double garage with kitchen and apartment over - that has seen up to 50 people sit down for a meal.

The house is typically Norman in design, with full central heating and double glazing, and a log burner which heats four rooms. The maison d'amis features traditional single glazed windows, and a beautiful spot-lit "cathedral" ceiling, the salon can be divided to make an extra bedroom if required. The garage has a workshop. The former swimming pool could be reinstated at minimal cost if desired - all equipment remains in situ. At the moment it is used for fish and is a balanced environment (ie no need to feed the fish) for large koi and goldfish. They breed each year. There is a gazebo and barbecue on a terrasse in that area. Outside buildings include a poultry house, pig sty, wood shed, green house, poly-tunnel, "Three Bears Cottage" playhouse, and a tree house. The typically "English Country Garden" is full of shrubs, bulbs, perennials, 20 fruit trees, and mature trees of oak, birch, pine and fir, with two vegetable gardens.
