🔥 Our feelings towards the stones this house is made of definitely fluctuates between loving the history and character they bring, to never ever wanting to ever see them again after repointing every single one of them!
But fortunately we are back loving them and so so pleased we did not just cover them up with plaster board in the renovation which was very tempting to do at times..and we remind ourselves of this as we are starting to smash off the plaster board on her sister house next door!

🔑 We have some exciting news to share - as of a couple of weeks ago, Glatigny farmhouse has a sibling! We acquired the house next to it.🤩
Whilst it is some way off being up to the high standard we want to offer to our guests (it will need full gutting, retrofit of foundations, insulation, internal restoration and a whole new roof for the lovely old Norman barn, just to name a few things), it does have a rustic charm about it even now.😊
This lovely property is the same age as Glatigny Farmhouse (around 500 years old) and was originally an agricultural building (likely for animals, with a hayloft), but was transformed in to a home some time ago.
It’s changed a bit over the last few hundred years, but is now a 3 bed, 2 bathroom stone house, with a large garden. 1 bedroom and bathroom is 1 the ground floor.
.
We and are planning a full programme of renovations to balance highlighting its original character whilst injecting a good dose of modern style and comfort, and can’t wait to get cracking! 💪🏽
.
That said, the property is habitable, with lots of Norman charm, albeit pretty basic. Should you be interested in a stay before we have completed our renovations, please do reach out and we can give you more information.
PS We’re particularly interested in any tradespeople that may be interested in staying (in Glatigny Farmhouse) and helping us do some of the work. 😉
.
Keep you updated…😁😁

Make sure you pay him a visit - Le Vieux Presbytère. (If he is not there just give the phone number a call and he will be more than happy to leave the orchard to give you a warm welcome!) . 🍏
Are you a Calvados fan?

🍎 You have to try the local Calvados, it’s a cultural activity after all… Look out for this sign 👉when you drive in to La Haye du Puits, it will take you to Pierre’s farmhouse where his family have been growing apples and making Calvados, Pommeau, Cidre and juice for many many generations.
And trust me he is very generous with the tasters!
Let us know what you think when you try it..?
