A large townhouse to be renovated, from the 16th and 17th centuries, with outhouses divided into apartments, nestled in the town of Falaise in Normandy’s Calvados department. The property stands on a calm street. The old edifice was doubtless an important home at the time of the Catholic League of France – a major participant in the French Wars of Religion. As early as in the 14th century, this part of the town was home to the burghers of Guibray – a district of Falaise. Their land initially belonged to the abbots of the local Abbey of Saint John. Fairs were held here and there were many inns in this district too. The house was probably one of those inns. It is set back from a small square that still bears the name of one of the members of the Catholic League of France in Falaise, from the time of the French Wars of Religion. Nicknamed the Hôtel du Grand Coq, the edifice was later the home of a wealthy parliamentarian. It lies near Notre-Dame de Guibray church and is tucked away on a well-preserved historical street, a short stroll from specialist food shops and amenities. On the street side, the noble edifice has an appearance that is typical of the 16th and 17th centuries. The structure is more wide than tall and is made of Caen stone. On the court side, the building is made up of three dwellings that form a square courtyard, half of which was later linked to the initial dwelling. The edifice’s rear elevation bears witness to the redesigns that have taken place over the course of the centuries: there are corbels, roof slopes and the remains of a tower that was reduced in height and which dates back to at least the 16th century. On the left, a stone elevation is coated with rendering in the modern part. Beyond it, there is a small outhouse with a slate roof and two small-paned windows. Lastly, with its back to the street and leading out through the rear elevation of the main dwelling, there is a former forge that has been converted into a dwelling. It has seven windows. From the court, steps lead to the back of the plot. The property’s walls enclose the whole plot. In the central court, low walls demarcate different small gardens. To the right of main section, on the court side, there is a timber gallery that connects to the different apartments on the first floor.

Ref.4893 : 15th-c. listed manor house in need of restoration, with a habitable annexe and garden, in Normandy In the heart of a small village of some 180 souls, at the gateway to the valleys of ‘Swiss Normandy’ – renowned for their idyllic, rolling landscapes dotted with hedgerows – a stunning Renaissance manor house has stood for over 10 centuries. Situated in the heart of the Orne department, in a region of stud farms, lakes and rivers, sharing the countryside with neighbours as discreet as they are reassuring, this manor house remains a local curiosity, its history being so rich in events. Just a few leagues from the shops and services needed for daily life, the property also benefits from its proximity to well-served towns, such as Falaise, less than 15 km away. Undoubtedly aimed primarily at those who appreciate authenticity, this property – which features a renovated annexe – will offer everyone the opportunity to settle in and complete the restoration of the manor house under the watchful eye of the Historic Monuments authority. 1) THE MANOR HOUSE: Its construction dates back to the 15th C. (around 1589). It is a late Renaissance ‘house’, situated at the centre of a complex of farm buildings forming a front courtyard and a rear courtyard. The manor house comprises a main building with its principal façade facing east, featuring a rear wing at right angles to it, adjoining a square tower which was probably decapitated during the Revolution and which contains a fine spiral staircase. The roof is covered with flat tiles, with the exception of the tower, which is temporarily covered with corrugated steel sheeting. The complex comprises two distinct courtyards, both flanked by more or less adjoining outbuildings, as follows: Front courtyard: former stables, equipment sheds, barn, bread oven and well. Rear courtyard: henhouse, pigsty, cart shed, barn and well. There is also a cider house with an attic used for storage. Today, only the structural framework of this building remains, excluding the roof structure and roofing. At the gable end stands a dwelling for the estate’s farm labourers, now in ruins. The manor house has retained a few period features, including several fireplaces, mullioned windows, a watchtower and a semi-circular archway… The cornices and roof structures are remarkable, as are the floor rafters. 2) THE DWELLING : Built of mortared rubble stone over two storeys and topped with a small-tile roof, this house underwent a complete restoration some fifteen years ago, enabling the owners to settle here rather than restoring their manor house. It is now a comfortable home with around 100 square metres of living space, laid out as follows: Ground floor: Entrance leading to a straight staircase with a quarter turn, featuring wooden balustrades with balusters. Access to a bathroom with shower – terracotta tile flooring. Separate toilet with washbasin. Living room (20 sqm), with fireplace (wood-burning stove) – terracotta tile flooring – exposed beams. Ceiling height under beams: 2.30 sqm. Kitchen/dining room (18 sqm) – terracotta tile flooring – exposed beams. Utility room (5.80 sqm). External access. Storage room / Boiler room (3.78 sqm). First floor: Carpeted landing (4.61 sqm). Bedroom 1 with carpeted floor (17.95 sqm), with a mezzanine for additional sleeping space. ‘Cathedral-style’ ceiling. Bedroom 2 with glued solid wood flooring (13.50 sqm) – Tiled shower room with adjoining toilet (recently fitted). ‘Cathedral-style’ ceiling. Ceiling height 4.80 m. OUTBUILDINGS : By definition, every manor house leads a self-sufficient existence, reflected in the presence of a large number of buildings, each with a clearly defined purpose. This manor is no exception to the rule, but the passage of centuries has taken its toll on certain buildings, which are now either completely destroyed or in a state of ruin. Consequently, the location of the farm labourers’ cottage, situated between the gable end of the manor and the former henhouse, can now only be discerned by the presence of a few low stone walls. The bread oven has also disappeared. However, extending from the wing of the manor house, a long building without a roof structure remains, which served as a cider house and cart shed. This 18th-C. building underwent emergency restoration to prevent its collapse, including that of the stone porches. On the east side of the manor house stands an imposing stone building with a tiled roof, which formerly served as stables and a hay barn. This building has now been restored. LAND : The property is situated in the heart of a village of some 180 inhabitants, on the outskirts of the famous and renowned ‘Normandy Switzerland’, including its iconic town of Putanges, less than a league away. It features a wooded and flower-filled park of just over one hectare, offering distant, rolling views of the countryside. Numerous fruit trees (apple, pear, plum, cherry, quince and mirabelle plum) dot this peaceful and serene setting. The grounds require minimal maintenance in the immediate vicinity of the property; a plot to the north, is looked after by a neighbouring farmer, as part of good neighbourly relations. A small stream marks the northern boundary of the property, which covers an area of 2.9 acres. By order of 4 May 1990, the Renaissance manor house was listed in its entirety on the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments. This property is a historic monument (allowing fiscal tax cuts if you pay taxes in France).

Ref.4424 : French listed manor house for sale in Normandy In the heart of Normandy, in the emblematic Pays d'Auge, on the outskirts of a market town of just over a hundred souls, a stunning estate with a fortified appearance has stood secretly out of sight for over five centuries, its only surroundings the luxuriant nature of its beautifully laid-out French-style parkland. The acknowledged heir to a past devoted to perfecting the edifice, this property today exudes a beautiful harmony and invites contemplation, exuding genuine feelings of well-being that have always encouraged the hosts of the premises to pass the torch only to sincere lovers of heritage. Everyday life, with all its many demands, is made easier by the proximity of a dynamic city only a few leagues away, with the towns of Caen and Lisieux providing all the necessary motorway, rail, sea and airport links. The Pays d'Auge is a first-rate tourist destination, within easy reach of the sea, rich in varied landscapes, sporting and nature activities, and less than 200 km from the capital. A past... a heritage... a dream... a reality... everyone will appreciate if they can invite themselves into history. The manor house was built on an almost square plan in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, before undergoing extensive alterations in the 18th century. This was clearly a ‘defensive’ property, built on a platform surrounded by a moat, with massive towers and numerous loopholes and firing points. The dwelling comprises a main body with a tower at each corner, each of different size and design depending on when they were built. The lower storey is built of small limestone rubble. It is topped by a timber-framed upper storey. A large triangular pediment, added in the 18th century, dominates the facade facing east. This facade is flanked by two symmetrical masonry towers with a hexagonal timber-framed upper storey. The south-facing facade is also flanked by two towers, one of which is cylindrical in stone and has a conical roof. The other to the north, square in plan, is a small keep. It has a limestone base. The upper storey is timber-framed and covered with five-hole tiles, the classic protection against the elements in the 17th century. An enclosed corbelled gallery joins the towers to the south and west. The original north wall is only visible from inside the dwelling, as it was lined with a timber-framed wall in the 17th century for greater convenience.

From the small car park, the eye is immediately drawn to the moat; the culvert plunges us back into history by inviting us onto the manor's grassed terraces.

A sumptuous house from the late 19th century with lush grounds, nestled 30 minutes from the English Channel in Normandy’s Calvados department. The property is just a stone’s throw from a 13th-century Gothic church. The road is lined with picturesque timer-framed dwellings and little farmhouses. A thuja hedge grows along a low brick wall with iron railings. At the right-hand end of it, a gate leads onto a shady driveway. From there, the drive lined with tall trees runs west, towards the house. The sumptuous dwelling was built at very end of the 19th century. It is an elegant home set in splendid grounds. Before, the building was known as a chateau, as were many houses built by the upper-middle classes in the period just before the First World War. Its elevations are rendered with a cream-coloured coating of local sand. The architectural embellishments are classical with stone capitals, garlands, exposed quoins and window surrounds that stand out in a pure white tone. The facade is more ornate than the garden-facing elevation. The house has a raised ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. A flight of front steps, edged with wrought-iron balustrades, leads up to the main entrance door. The facade has four windows on the ground floor – two on either side of the entrance door – and six windows on the first floor. And along the second floor, in the roof space, there are five elegant dormers. The rear elevation has two sets of ground-floor French windows that lead out to a large terrace, which you reach via a double set of steps. There are three other tall windows in the rear elevation on the ground floor and, above them, five windows on each upper floor.
