The kitchen leads out onto the terrace, which is very sheltered and is perfect for al-fresco dining.




There is a pretty garden of about ¼ of an acre and an adjoining barn, which could be converted into further accommodation. The barn is the size of a double-carport and measures 6.15m x 5.8m.

The area is also a hub for outdoor activities, including canoeing, which you can do on the river Orne, which runs through the town.
