A former 13th-century manor house with parklands, pond, pool and farmyard on the way to the Mont-Saint-Michel in the Granville hinterland. From a side road, a wide driveway lined with two triple rows of sycamore maples leads to the entrance gate framed by two stone pillars, which opens onto the main courtyard. Two lodges stand guard, separated from the dwelling by a well-defined lawn. One of these lodges dates back to the 16th century. Embrasures in the wall testify to the age of the building. The other lodge was built in the 19th century. On one side, three buildings forming a U surround the farmyard. The first building to be erected in the 13th century was a rectangular dwelling with two storeys plus an attic. In the 18th century, a shipowner from Granville commissioned its extension, effectively doubling its length. In the 19th century, one of his descendants added two short wings at either end to house horse-drawn carriages, as well as a terrace running along the rear facade, accessed from the garden via two straight flights of stairs. The terrace is supported by arches creating a wide loggia. All the buildings are of dressed stone or coursed rubble masonry, with slate roofs varying in shape. And finally, at the back of the residence, an oval Napoleon-style pool lies next to a pond and rose garden. Meadows and groves of trees encircle the complex.
