CastleBayeux (14)

Bayeux Sotheby's International Realty offers for sale, porche de Bayeux, a 460 m² Neo-Gothic-style château with all modern comforts, set in 7000 m² of wooded parkland.
The entrance hall and staircase are a unique work of architecture.
On the ground floor, organised around the entrance hall, you will discover the reception rooms, including an octagonal lounge and study with triple aspect, a vast living room with parquet flooring, panelling and a worked ceiling, a dining room and its fireplace.
The first floor comprises five bedrooms and a triple aspect lounge with a sauna. Some of these bedrooms have French ceilings, and one has its own balcony.
The second floor, with its partially sloping ceilings, has four bedrooms to complement the sleeping areas on the first level. Two other rooms can be used for a variety of purposes. A bathroom and shower room bring modern comforts to the property.
Attractive trees of various species, including a white chestnut and a purple beech, enhance this green setting.
The originality of some of the buildings will make for a pleasant stroll, as you discover a tower and a pheasantry.
A circular driveway leads around the chateau and gives access to the outbuildings: a former orangery with an adjoining chapel, a very large garage and an old pavilion in need of restoration.
Many of the historic features characteristic of charming residences have remained in place: a magnificently sculpted staircase, stained glass windows, wood panelling, parquet floors and fireplaces will catch your eye as you tour.
The château is bright and airy, with reasonable ceiling heights and rooms that are not overly spacious, making it a pleasant place to live for a family, whether as a main residence or a holiday home.
