NORMANDY BARN CONVERSION. Detached 3 bedrooms, 20 mins beach, countryside peace!

This recently renovated, relaxing and tranquilly located holiday home is a charming and characterful detached 3 bedroom Converted French Normandy Barn. It is set within its own private large garden, in the heart of the picturesque Normandy countryside. The barn is located in a rural setting, on the outskirts of the village of St Aubin des Bois, and just 25 minutes drive from the expansive sand dune backed Normandy beaches.

The barn is just a short drive from the historic and enchanting market town of Villedieu-les-Poeles, famed for its fine copper-ware artisans, cafes, bars, beautiful shops, artists and many restaurants. This market town has become a well known centre for local artists and artisans, with various studios displaying their craft. There are many art exhibitions and festivals over the summer here. Our local village, Saint Aubin Des Bois, has its own famous Tractor Festival during August! If you love steam engines, tractors and retro vehicles, you will love this day!

If your family like peace and quite, then this is a great place for your family to relax, and unwind, in the heart of the Normandy countryside.

Our barn conversion is less than 1 hours drive from Caen car ferry port. The property can comfortably sleep 5 as it has 3 bedrooms, two of which have queen size double beds and the third bedroom contains one single bed and another pull-out bed. The spacious open plan lounge / kitchen / diner has all you need to enjoy self catering at your own convenience. There is a family shower room with downstairs WC and the house also has a washing machine, ceramic hob/oven, fridge freezer and microwave within the fully-equipped kitchen area.

This property is situated in the heart of the Normandy Countryside, yet just 25 minutes from beautiful beaches and 25 minutes from Mont Saint Michel Unesco world heritage site – this is the world-famous island abbey and the second most visited tourist attraction in the whole of France!

Endroit trop éloigné de tout commerces de bouches.

La maison n'était pas agréable car pas de grande fenêtre qui donnent sur le jardin, chambres trop petites et salle d'eau avec toilette inapproprié pour 5 personnes. L'état général du mobilier est extrêmement moyen et décevant de plus une odeur de remontée d'égout en permanence dans la maison. Bref je ne recommande pas.

Pour un amoureux de la nature comme moi, je suis totalement satisfait.

Au calme à la campagne, les personnes qui s'occupent de la maison sont adorables, les magasins à moins de 15min et beaucoup d'autres découvertes à moins d'une heure (en voiture bien-sûr).

Rural barn in lovely area with plenty of potential

The barn is located in a rural area with plenty of space, green and quiet. Lovely country setting! The local town is tiny and does not have any shops or a bakery. The barn has an oven however, so you can use it to bake some fresh bread. (Shops are app 10-15 min. ride by car) Furthermore you are close to the main roads. It is a good place to visit places you want to see like -Mont-Saint-Michel (app. 30 mins) and the landing beaches (just over an hour). The barn has three medium sized bedrooms and can easily sleep four. Five is possible, but I would not recommend it; the bathroom is tiny and for five to relax in the living area would be a bit cramped. (We were a family of four with teenagers and a dog.) We had a good week, regardless of the bad weather we had all week. We played boardgames at the dining table and watched a few of the movies using the dvd-player and the movies that were in the house. We walked a lot in the local area with our dog. One evening we walked to the village and played table tennis there. The local hosts as well as the owners are lovely people and communication was never a problem. Always got a quick response. A few issues with the house made our stay less comfortable than it should have been, like the (smell of) dampness and other minor things, like no lock on the bathroom door and a leaking shower enclosure. It is a lovely place, run by lovely people. It does need some TLC in some places and truly has all the potential for a lovely holiday home.
