luxury farmhouse with reception room for sale Bayeux, France

A rural estate covering more than one hectare with a guesthouse and gîtes, tucked away in France’s Calvados department in Normandy. From the road, a driveway lined with poplars runs alongside an orchard to the buildings. The property covers two plots and has a total surface area of over one hectare. An entrance gate in a low enclosing wall leads into a courtyard, where the main house, dating back to the 1930s, stands. The house is made of stone coated with rendering. It is crowned with a slate roof. It has a garden-level floor and a first floor. Beside it, there is a first gîte: a low house with a slate roof. Opposite the main house, there is a former bakehouse, which is now a guesthouse. This small building has a gable roof and is extended with a lean-to. A second series of buildings lies at a right angle to the main house. This series of buildings stands beside a gravelled drive with a garden and orchard. The first building is edged with a wooden terrace and houses a reception hall with a bar. Above it, there is an unused first floor. The building is crowned with a hipped slate roof. A lean-to garage adjoins the back of this building. Next, there is a second gîte in a low house beside a concrete terrace. Then there is an elongated building from the 19th century. It has a first floor and a second floor. Exposed pale stonework forms its elevations. Many windows punctuate its facade. A roof of interlocking tiles with three wall dormers crowns the building. Inside it, there are four guest rooms and a third gîte. The property offers a 20-person sleeping capacity in total.
