Large 18th Century Renovated
Farmhouse, Sleeping 9
Large Enclosed Garden for Children and Pets

Fully renovated in 1998 to a high standard,
"La Basserie"is a typical large 18th century Normandy farmhouse.
It is built on a hillside in a delightful and secluded rural position on
the fringes of the small village of Ver, close to the charming market
town of Gavray. The cottage is situated 15 minutes from the west coast
of the Cotentin Peninsula, about halfway between the cathedral town of
Coutances and the bustling port of Granville.
There is no shortage of things to see and do in the surrounding area.
Historic towns, abbeys and chateaux, fabulously unspoilt beaches,
estuaries and harbours. There are local markets most days of the week,
an excellent choice of shops, good restaurants and nightclubs.
There are sports and pastimes for every taste, from riding, golf and
cycling to sand yachting, tennis, ice skating or even bungee jumping.
The beaches are just 15 minutes away. Visit Granville, the famous Mont
St. Michel, Coutances gardens and cathedral, or the famous tapestry at
Bayeux.
Nearby Granville offers the possibility of excursions by sail or
motorboat to the beautiful Chausey Islands and also to Jersey and
Guernsey. Or you may just prefer the peace and quiet of the garden and
countryside around the house. There is trout fishing within walking
distance, forest paths and hilltop walks, and the lovely market town of
Gavray is just a few minutes away.
The Farmhouse has four bedrooms, two
large doubles, one large twin or triple and one smaller bedroom that can
be a single or a double with bunk beds, all of which have wonderful
views across the valley and countryside.
There are two bathrooms (both with WC and bath, one with separate
shower), a comfortable sitting room, a large living room / dining room
with farmhouse table to seat 10 and a log-burning stove, and a
fully-fitted modern kitchen which overlooks the patio, fitted with gas
hob and electric oven. There is also a pantry and a utility room.
The house is comprehensively equipped with heating, dishwasher, fridge
and fridge-freezer, microwave, washing machine and of course all kitchen
utensils. Bed covers or duvets are supplied, but not linen or duvet
covers. There is also garden furniture, loungers, a barbeque, a
library, a selection of games and two cots. The property has a colour TV
and DVD player, and Broadband Internet connection.
To the front of the house is our own three acre field which guests are
welcome to use. To the rear is a delightful stepped, enclosed garden
with gravelled boules court, lawns with flower borders and a vegetable
garden.
