Cotentin Village Home

14th-Century Charm Near the Sea

Just 7 km from the sandy beaches of Barneville-Carteret, this 14th-century Anglo-Norman home stands proudly in the rolling countryside of Cotentin. Surrounded by nearly 5 hectares of meadows and woodland, it offers timeless charm, privacy, and room to grow.

A quiet lane leads to a stone-pillared entrance and large courtyard framed by the home and historic outbuildings. Inside, exposed stone walls, beams, and a vast hearth reflect its medieval roots—while generous light and space bring modern comfort.

Property Highlights:

  • 14th-century Anglo-Norman home
  • 200 m² living space, 5 rooms
  • Nearly 5 ha of land with stream and valley views
  • Large attic ready to convert
  • 300 m² of outbuildings: barns, press, bakery, stables
  • Peaceful setting just 40 mins to Cherbourg, 3 hrs to Paris

The ground floor features a through-living room, kitchen, workshop, and laundry. Upstairs: 3 bedrooms, 2 shower rooms, and a spacious attic above. Stone details, wide-plank floors, and natural light throughout.

A rare chance to own a well-preserved slice of Normandy’s history—solid, serene, and full of potential.
