Entering the property is like stepping into a storybook. As you arrive at the end of a charming driveway, garden areas stretch beside you, and ample parking space welcomes you.

Mantilly is a typical Normandy village characterized by its lush green landscapes, rolling countrysides, and a slow-paced life that suits those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city living.

With a central fireplace featuring a newly installed pellet-burning stove and dual aspect windows, this room exudes warmth and inviting appeal.

Ascend to the first floor, and you'll find a peaceful landing area ideal for reading or reflection. Two large bedrooms await, each with its own ensuite facilities and unique features. The first bedroom, a spacious 25 square meters, invites with its character beams and cozy sitting area, while the second bedroom boasts original oak flooring and dual aspect windows. A second floor adds yet another bedroom with built-in storage and a well-appointed ensuite, making the home suitable for families with multiple needs.

Outside, the property offers much more than a mere garden. A decking area leads you to a lush stretch of lawn where the views of the Normandy countryside unfold before you—a perfect backdrop for gardening, children’s play, or al fresco dinners. An attached workshop of 49 square meters and a large barn of 90 square meters present additional spaces ripe with potential. With the proper permissions, these could be converted into inviting guest accommodations, an expansive entertainment area, or even a productive workspace.

Living in Mantilly introduces a flavor of French country life that is increasingly sought after by expats: picturesque landscapes, serene living, and a close-knit community atmosphere.
