About this property

Set in peaceful, beautiful surroundings beside an old mill, this former bake house overlooks a tranquil wooded valley, waterfall and millstream. Restored by the English owners who live next door, it is the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Situated not far from the town of Balleroy which has a bar, a supermarket and two boulangeries where you can buy bread, croissants and mouth-watering cakes. In the surrounding countryside are pretty villages, forests, a lakeside leisure centre and wonderful opportunities for walking or cycling, starting on your own doorstep. The area around the cottage is a haven for wildlife, and visitors have reported seeing deer, hares, foxes and kingfishers to name but a few. Egrets, and for the last four years black storks, are occasional visitors. The cottage is set on a slope overlooking a valley and has accommodation on three floors. On the main floor is the living/dining room, with views of the valley and waterfall.

A good base to return to after a days sightseeing.

This property is convenient for visiting the D Day landing beaches and museums as well as Bayeux. It is in a very quiet, rural location. We felt that the gite is perhaps in need of some upgrading/redecoration, particularly the bathroom.

Zeer rustig gelegen kleine cottage, vriendelijke ontvangst

Drie etages telt deze kleine cottage, middelste woonkamer en keuken, andere slaapkamers. Goed uitgesruste keuken, goede bedden en badkamer. Het was erg warm waardoor het op de bovenste etage lastig slapen was. Paar kilometer van de bewoonde wereld. Vriendelijke ontvangst door Engelse eigenaren.

gîte with heart and soul

It is a charming cottage with all the necessary amenities and many more. The gîte ist he perfect location if, on the one hand, you want to enjoy the quiet and picturesque rural countryside and, on the other hand, you want to explore the various chateaux, gardens, historical sites and towns all around. Coming back from our various excursions, we have always enjoyed the cosiness of the house especially when sitting by the fireside. Looking at the pastures every morning has been the perfect start of the day.

About the host

Hosted by Stephen BUSS

Hi I'm Stephen - I've lived & worked in France for the last 30 years. I'm an agent commercial (property agent) which is quite different from my former career in the UK. I've been self employed here since 1995 & my work has taken me around some beautiful parts of this region. Still much to explore and never get tired of it.

Why they chose this property

We first came to Normandy over thirty years ago to visit a friend, with no intention of buying a house. We went back owning a watermill. Well, not quite, but we'd put in an offer. The sale went through and a few years later we moved here permanently and began the massive task of renovation.

We love the isolation here and the absence of noisy neighbours, which is what first drew us to it. The surrounding woodland and meadows never cease to surprise us with the abundance of wildlife. The town shops are only a few minutes away, the ferry ports less than an hour, so we're not exactly cut-off from civilisation.

What makes this property unique

It's a great central location here, Bayeux is only a 30 minute drive, the tapestry and Cathedral are a must. The lovely beaches are about 45 minutes which are great for family relaxing or to do the historic and moving tours of the D-day landing sites.
The world famous Mont St Michel is about and hour and a half west of here.
If you want to visit Paris for the day, the trains go from Bayeux and only take 2 hours each way.
This cottage can offer peace & quiet for relaxing on-site, you only have ourselves & the wildlife for neighbours. The views up & down the valley from the cottage are unique.
