The Project:
This house has such quirky features and such great charm, but it is definitely a property one would consider 'a project' and there is considerable work and imagination needed to realise the potential. However, if you are looking for a home you can make your own, this property would definitely be a great contender.

The house is in a lovely village, between the popular market towns of Domfront and Bagnoles De L'Orne. The beautiful Foret D'Andaines is very close by and is perfect for hiking, biking and horse-riding.
