*** UNDER OFFER *** In a peaceful hamlet of the Bessin countryside, around twenty minutes from Bayeux and just a few kilometres from Omaha Beach, Normandie Privilège presents an elegant 18th-century château with its guest house, outbuildings and nearly two hectares of landscaped parkland. Beyond the entrance gate lies a formal courtyard around which the various buildings are arranged. The château displays a restrained and harmonious neoclassical architecture. Its perfectly balanced façades are softened by tall multi-pane windows, traditional shutters and pale rendered walls beneath slate roofs. On the park side, the slightly projecting pavilions lend the property a quiet elegance characteristic of Norman aristocratic country houses. The château offers approximately 334 sqm of living space over two floors, with eight principal rooms including five bedrooms. Filled with natural light, the house opens broadly onto the south-facing parkland, creating an atmosphere of remarkable tranquillity, enhanced by the stone walls enclosing the grounds. Many original features have been carefully preserved: antique parquet floors, wood panelling, fireplaces, overmantels, period decorative painting and beautifully proportioned rooms. Renovation work carried out in the late 1970s respected the spirit and authenticity of the property. The house is heated by oil-fired central heating. The single-glazed windows retain their original espagnolette fittings, and the roof was entirely renewed in 2025. The layout is arranged as follows. On the ground floor, a through entrance hall leads on one side to a library and a large drawing room, and on the other to a dining room and spacious kitchen. Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while four further bedrooms and a bathroom complete the first floor. Under the eaves remain three former staff bedrooms together with several attic spaces. One of the former farm buildings was converted in the late 1990s into an independent guest house of approximately 130 sqm. Ideal for hosting family and friends in complete privacy — or for a hospitality project — it includes, on the ground floor, an entrance hall, kitchen, pantry and sitting room; upstairs are one bedroom with private shower room together with two additional bedrooms and a bathroom. Its secluded garden, partly enclosed by stone walls, also contains an old bakehouse in need of restoration. A double garage and storage building extend this part of the property. On the opposite side of the courtyard stands a former agricultural building, likely predating the château itself, comprising a carriage shelter, cider press, woodshed and technical rooms. Further outbuildings, some requiring complete restoration, suggest additional possibilities for future use. The grounds, extending to around two hectares, combine mature trees, lawns and an old pond. A rare family estate, remarkable for its balance and restraint: neither ostentatious nor frozen in time, but imbued with the quiet grace of houses that have endured through the centuries without losing their soul. ---- *** UNDER OFFER *** The price of this property is €735,000.
