Why this property will seduce you

  • Unobstructed Cathedral View: South-facing walled garden with clear view of the cathedral.
  • Exceptional Historic Architecture: U-shaped private mansion with inner courtyard, typical of the 18th century.

Bayeux Sotheby’s International Realty presents for sale, in the heart of the city center of Bayeux, in one of the most sought-after streets, this magnificent private hotel built according to a U-shaped plan with two side wings delimiting an inner courtyard. It is complemented by a south-facing garden, fully enclosed, with an unobstructed view of the cathedral and situated on an overlook accessible by a lovely staircase. This residence is part of the local history of Bayeux; indeed, between 1906 and 1912, it served as the new episcopal palace; Bishop Thomas Lemonnier acquired it following the implementation of the law separating the Churches and the State, which deprived him of the enjoyment of the Dean's hotel. This historic property, built on three levels, offers a living space of approximately 416m². Once you pass through the imposing carriage door, you will discover a spacious entrance hall with a large double door opening onto the inner courtyard. To its left is a landing and its grand staircase with a beautiful wrought-iron handrail. Continuing onward, there is a reception room that needs restoration, and to the right, a typical kitchen with preserved antique elements (beams and joists, stone floor from Bessin, a stone fireplace). In the right wing, there is a small intimate office with a very beautiful, stylish stone fireplace, service areas including a service staircase, guest toilets, an original east-facing veranda overlooking the courtyard, a pleasant living room with a bow window, a worked fireplace, and a lovely French ceiling, all creating a "so British" ambiance. The noble floor typical of the 18th century features two magnificent crossing reception rooms, namely a dining room with its coffered ceiling, a parquet floor, and a lovely Alsatian stove, a large living room with woodwork, parquet flooring, and a fireplace; sculpted trumeaus enhance the spaces; extending from the dining room are a landing, a kitchen, a bathroom, and toilets. The right wing holds a landing for the service staircase and two bedrooms; as for the left wing, following the ceremonial living room, there are two bedrooms with their authentic elements and a bathroom. A walkway allows access to the rooms from the outside. The second floor is exclusively reserved for sleeping spaces and sanitary facilities composed of six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and toilets. The dormers on the inner courtyard side are inspired by classical style and designed in the spirit of seaside architecture. Outbuildings and dependencies complete the property: two cellars in the basement of the right wing, a workshop or small garage, a storage room, a boiler room. Throughout your visit to this residence, you will undoubtedly be charmed by the ambiance that emanates from the place. Some work is to be expected. This property, ideal for a family, can also be considered for a guest house. It is one of the most iconic hotels in Bayeux.
