3 Bedroom (Sleeps 4) House in Mortain-Bocage

Description

'Colinwood', La Gautrais

The property is likely to be the only purposely designed wheelchair accessible holiday home in Normandy. It has rise and fall kitchen sink and cooker plus pull out cupboards for ease of access for those with mobility issues. There is a ground floor single bedroom and en-suite wet room.

Our Norman Longere lies in the heart of the Normandy countryside known as the Bocage for its enclosed fields. It is situated close to the Hamlet of Notre-Dame-Du-Touchet and the larger principal town of Mortain, a must for those interested in WW2, walking or climbing.

Our holiday home is wheelchair accessible. 3 bedrooms in total, with 2 on the first floor but crucially a single bedroom with a level access wet room on the ground floor. The 2 bedrooms on the first floor are a single and a double suitable for family or carers. There is also a family shower room on the first floor with storage areas.

There is an open plan living, kitchen and dining room with rise and fall sink and cooker. There are pull out cupboards, which are also suitable for perching stool use. The property has an accessible patio however some of the grounds could only be accessed using a powered wheelchair since it is open fields.

The accommodation on the ground floor has been designed to comply with the British Building Regulations Part M relating to people with disabilities. The entrance door has been widened to provide wheelchair access. The threshold, while slightly raised is provided with rubber inserts to make it accessible using a wheelchair.

If you are interested in WWII, Mortain is where the German Army's last offensive took place. It has a poignant small American Memorial and a petit chapel high on the hillside with breathtaking views as fat as Mont St Michel.
Mont St Michel is 50 mins drive away and is a superb historical journey through small medieval streets with its monastery perched high above.

Avranches is close by and is a pretty town with old city walls and the 'Scriptorial museum' a fascinating delve into the work of ancient manuscripts.
Walking the coast line around Mont St Michael is one of our favorite past times.
The property is ideally located to access three departments - Brittany, The Mayenne and of course Normandy.

Vitre has a fantastic castle as does Fougeres.

There are good French restaurants in Mortain as well as an English run restaurant that is a favorite for French locals as well. Notre-Dame-Du-Touchet has a bakery, a small shop, a bar which also does lunches.
