Ref.4813 : 15th-C. Norman manor house with outbuildings, set on 6.17 acres of adjoining land in Calvados (Normandy) Set in the heart of unspoilt Normandy countryside, Falaise charms visitors with its refined atmosphere and exceptional heritage, dominated by the famous Castle of William the Conqueror. On the edge of the Normandy Switzerland region, the town offers a remarkable natural setting, with lush green valleys, rolling hills and wooded countryside. Nestled on the edge between town and countryside, this rare 15th-century farmhouse-manor is set in a privileged location. The property benefits from the amenities of a charming little town of 8,000 inhabitants within walking distance, whilst offering a preserved green setting. Both sheltered from the hustle and bustle of civilisation and opening onto the tranquil countryside, this residence embodies a subtle balance between privacy, comfort and historical authenticity. This remarkable rural residence of medieval origin immediately captivates with the purity of its lines and the nobility of its finely preserved exposed stone façade. Built on a rectangular plan, the house presents a sober and elegant silhouette, characteristic of grand historic farmsteads. Its thick, lime-mortared limestone rubble walls bear witness to centuries-old construction techniques and lend the whole an enduring, timeless presence. The steeply pitched roof of flat tiles, punctuated by three chimneys, enhances the verticality of the structure. The principal façade, facing west/south-west and perfectly ordered, is distinguished by an arched stone entrance, vertically proportioned openings, and a pedimented dormer set along the central axis. A mullioned window further attests to the property’s antiquity. A wide, low door to the left recalls the original access to the cellar for barrels, while at the rear, an external tower houses an elegant stone spiral staircase. On the southern gable end, the former bread oven now serves as a wood store. Today, the property benefits from modern comforts while having faithfully retained its authenticity. With a living area of 292 sqm, the main residence is arranged as follows: Ground floor: A reception room featuring a monumental fireplace, exposed beams and terracotta floor tiles (48 sqm). To the right (south side): A warm and inviting family kitchen (26 sqm), fitted with a LACANCHE range cooker set beneath the former bread-oven fireplace.
