AHIN-SP-001846 Nr Coulouvray-Boisbenâtre 50670 Converted barn with outbuildings and over half an acre of land

This house has been modernised by the present owners over the last 20 years. The steel sheet roofing was done in 2011 and there is a mixture of double and single glazed windows and doors. The woodburner with backboiler was installed to run the heating system in about 2012. It offers comfortable accommodation with a pretty garden and several outbuildings. There is room to extend the accommodation into the adjoining barn, subject to planning. Viewing is highly recommended.
