In the heart of the village of Genets, a property complex comprises a 16th-century building with mixed residential and commercial use, offering 7 rooms and 121 m² of living space, and a separate stone building used as a garage with a 36 m² footprint and an attic above, extending onto a south-facing garden of approximately 100 m² and a front courtyard.

The main stone building is a former bastion steeped in history, which has been completely renovated. The exposed stonework and monumental wooden staircase give it a unique charm. Currently used for mixed residential and commercial purposes, it can easily be converted into a shop, office, or other office space, but it also provides an ideal foundation for conversion into a single-family home. It is laid out as follows:

- Ground floor; The main house comprises a 28 sq m room with an entrance on the main street, used for commercial purposes; a 15.20 sq m room with an entrance on a dead-end street, also used for commercial purposes; and another 7.4 sq m room, used for residential purposes.

- First floor: a 19.80 sq m main room and another 15.30 sq m room, both used for residential purposes.

- Second floor: a 25 sq m main room and another 14.80 sq m room, both used for residential purposes.

The windows are single-glazed wood, and the property is connected to mains drainage.

An additional stone building, currently used as a garage, is located 30 m from the main house in an adjacent dead-end street. It could be converted into a house with approximately 60 sq m of living space. There is a courtyard at the front of the building and a south-facing garden of approximately 100 sq m at the rear, offering complete privacy. Water and electricity are available within the building, and mains drainage is connected to the property line.

The department of Manche is in Lower Normandy and is bordered with Calvados, Orne, Mayenne and Ille-et-Vilaine. The English Channel in the west, north and north-west coastlines makes getting here to its many ports very easy from the UK. There is also an airport in Caen and many others are easily accessible in the surrounding regions such as Rennes airport.

History is all over the department through its museums and heritage, discovering the local traditions and culture as well as Chateaux, religious monuments, water mills, maritime sites and gardens is easy to do. The biggest ’must-do’ is a visit to Mont Saint Michel.

Tourism plays a major role in the economy of the department which is fine because there is so much to see and do.
