La Fermette stands in the farmland called L'Aide Frechu (formerly known as L'Etre Frechu). Also at L'Aide Frechu is the original bakery (La Boulangerie) and a large granite barn (La Grange). These buildings may be converted for lettings at a future date.
A natural spring rises on the land with an original water pump and brook which runs down to a large pond. The pond is surrounded by trees and attracts wildlife - ducks, coypu and frogs.
The house is reached by a short private track which joins the main road connecting Mortain and Domfront.
