Sorry forgot a most important thing the price £185000 sterling.

That is very expensive, there are some lovely holdings in France for a lot less money, and more land, I was looking at one yesterday 11 ha, 4 bed , barns, €139,000, not £'s

How can you possibly value a property whilst sitting at your computer, there are possible small holding near here from €85000 to €300000 each valued by local immobiliers with years of experience.
Fully renovated with Bed and breakfast potential, the rooms are ready. Double Glazing Central Heating, Fosse up to new standards plus space for animals a very productive veg garden etc and valued at more than we are asking.
But we are looking for a quick sale due to long term illness in the family back in UK

France is a big place and like GB, with property prices ranging from very cheap through to ridiculously expensive.
Anything within easy access of "La Manche", and this extends into Brittany, is likely to attract a premium over similar properties 2 or more hours travel inland.
Without seeing photographs, Welshy's place seems very reasonably priced for the size, location, and future workability.
An 11 ha property elsewhere at a cheaper price, might prove to be a nightmare to a would be Brit purchaser with ideas of living the good life, with French bureaucracy actively preventing the purchaser from farmering.

Thank you Midtown, you have put it better that I could

Thank you for your email John I hope I have sent you all that you required

Indeed, we are selling our house considerably cheaper than houses less than 3 miles away, location location location

Thank you for all your inquires, some of you have asked if we make cider, No we don't but we have the ingredients on site and a lovely cider house with a cider press still intact, so it would be perfectly possible to make cider and perry.

Hi Merv. Thanks for the pictures. The place looks lovely - and I love the fact that the land surrounds the house. Am emailing them to my son this morning. All the best, Liz.

In answer to several e mails. The house in on mains water but we have a well used for watering veg plot, and it has never dried up and we have had a couple of very dry summers.
The 3 double bed-roomed section of house is separated by a staircase to main bedroom and en suite bathroom, so ideal for B&B
The land was grazed by cows until 7 years ago.
The veg plot is south facing and protected from the north by wall and trees and is very productive. the fruit we grow include strawberries,raspberries,blackberries red currant and gooseberry plums apples and cider apples and pears.
The pond New in 2006 is teaming with wild life.
Lastly the natives are very friendly
Hope that helps

OK I give in, I have been contacted by several people asking if I would accept an offer.
Yes we would but you need to view before we do the negotiation, you cant buy without seeing
But yes there is a little room for movement on price.
Yes there several ways to get to us from UK , Brittany Ferries from Portsmouth to Caen (3 sailing a day) and then only one hour to us. Also LD lines Portsmouth to LeHavre, City Airport London to Deauville, Euro Tunnel or Dover if your in South East of UK and many Budget Flights across UK to Dinard

Thank you Peter for your suggestion.
You can see our property on Google Earth by putting, L'Aubeniere 61430 Ste Honorine la Chardonne France

As requested more photo's available showing attic/cellar and more of outbuildings,etc, e mail me and I will send them on.

We have now found the house we want to buy in UK and would look at any serious offer.
-
More answers to questions received in e mails.
Yes it is a horse friendly area and there are many country tracks to use. The French National stud is in Normandy.
No the hunt don't go onto the land because the land is wrapped around the farmhouse, because they cannot shoot within a certain distance of a dwelling.
Although in Rural Normandy there is swimming,golf,squash,tennis,bowling,football.fishing,dancing etc all with 20 mins distance.
