luxury house for sale Ussy, France

Ref 4910: Manor house suitable for events, for sale, 5 km from Falaise On the lands of William the Conqueror, two leagues from the ‘Swiss Normandy’ region, at the gateway to the Duchy of Normandy, an imposing manor farm has stood for nearly three centuries – the last remaining vestige of an exceptional estate, a victim of the ravages of history… But as you round a bend on a country road, history comes into view, concealed by a curtain of trees, inviting curiosity to explore a decidedly discreet entrance, behind which awaits a surprising building of stately proportions. Beautifully situated at the heart of a protected landscape harmoniously shaped by woodland and meadows, the property stands out as an obvious source of inspiration, offering a sense of well-being and freedom. Daily shopping needs are catered for locally, perfectly complemented by the town of Falaise, which, within cycling distance, offers all the services and shops necessary for everyday life. The road links are excellent and provide swift access to rail, motorway, air and sea transport networks. Designed for hosting events, yet with the potential for a wide range of activities, this property will fulfil even the most ambitious projects, supported by the natural richness of its enchanting setting, which is ready for immediate use. Such is Normandy… beautiful, mysterious, a place for a brief visit or a holiday… which often turns into a lifelong project. The property comprises a main house built of rendered stone over three storeys and topped with a hipped slate roof. Adjoining its north-eastern side is a series of outbuildings, one of which is set at right angles, evoking the atmosphere of a main courtyard. Unlike the manor house, these buildings are smaller in scale, and some are roofed with flat tiles. The ensemble is harmonious and balanced, displaying perfect symmetry, a legacy of the Age of Enlightenment. The south-east façade is enhanced by an H-shaped veranda projection, opening onto a spacious terrace leading to the grounds. Set slightly higher up is a luxurious swimming pool, elegantly integrated into the surroundings by a balustrade safety railing. A nearby stone building serves as a pool house (housing heat pumps). Set apart from the main complex, a beautiful stone barn with a tiled ‘cathedral’ roof houses a two-part storage area reserved for farm equipment. A row of small outbuildings follows on from this, revealing various agricultural sheds (chicken coop, woodshed, storeroom, etc.). At the southern end of the manor stands a small stone building with a tiled roof, resembling a sheepfold. A large car park (70 spaces), discreetly situated behind the main courtyard, provides easy access to the manor house and its outbuildings. Set apart from the estate, and perfectly situated for its surveillance role, a ‘stylish’ outbuilding – formerly the bakery of the original château – makes an ideal caretaker’s house, with its own separate and discreet entrances. The property as a whole has been perfectly restored for use as an events venue, yet its immense potential leaves the door open for even the most ambitious projects.

THE GROUNDS The property enjoys a commanding position over a single, unbroken 22-hectare (54-acre) park, free from easements and with no neighbours directly opposite. Meadows and woodland each occupy half the space, offering the eye sweeping views into the distance, all the way to the wooded edges. It is here that the more adventurous will marvel at an exceptional ice house, the size of which speaks volumes about the importance of the original estate. Roe deer and hares may occasionally give themselves away… Beautiful pastures, set apart from the lawns reserved for visitors, could easily accommodate a few horses; in their absence, these meadows serve as an additional car park. The old latrines have been preserved opposite the south gable. The swimming pool is the centre of attention, so much is it appreciated. Facing south-east at a reasonable distance from the reception areas, it was built in 2012 as much out of necessity as for pleasure. From a safety perspective, it provides a water supply that complies with current legal requirements for premises open to the public. It also offers a high-quality experience for guests. It features two pools, one of which is for children; the main pool measures 20 x 10 metres, with a depth ranging from 80 cm to over 2 metres. The entire facility is heated by two heat pumps (15 years old). It is surrounded by sturdy balustrades, and access is highly secure. A pool house is attached to it. The plot is situated within the boundaries of the protected natural areas of Lower Normandy.

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).

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.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.

Between Caen and Bayeux, seven kilometers from the sea, in one of the most preserved villages of Bessin, Normandie Privilège offers you an old flour mill bordered by the river.Set away from the main roadways, in a gently rolling landscape, this property is situated in a setting that water seems to have designed itself. The mill is revealed at the bend of a peaceful meander of the river, surrounded by its banks, its blonde stone walls, and its old outbuildings organized around an inner courtyard.The site is ancient. The presence of a mill in this location has been documented since the early 13th century. Rebuilt in the mid-19th century and then modernized a few decades later to keep up with the evolving milling techniques, it continued operations until the early 20th century before being converted into a residence in the 1970s. From this long industrial history remains a remarkably preserved ensemble, where the original architecture still dialogues with the landscape and the water that continues to flow along the facades.The main building, built with limestone rubble, presents the characteristic simplicity of the large rural constructions of the region. Under its slate and tile roofs, the volumes retain an unusual spaciousness. The façades, simply pierced with regular windows, give the place a presence that is both solid and discreet. On the river side, the gable of the mill seems literally perched above the current. On the courtyard side, the whole composes an elegant group of buildings surrounded by old dependencies.Inside, the house features approximately 440 m² of living space, spread over a dozen rooms, to which are added more than 230 m² of outbuildings and attics. Some rooms immediately impress with their proportions. The former machine room, now converted into a living room, offers nearly 60 m² under a ceiling height soaring to 5.6 meters. A second transverse living room of 49 m² extends this sense of space. Upstairs, a vast corner office of 43 m², bathed in light, retains the same generosity with ceilings of up to five meters.The dwelling has been organized into two distinct parts, sufficiently independent to accommodate a large family, two generations, or to combine primary residence and accommodation activity under one roof.The first part, approximately 207 m², includes on the ground floor an entrance hall, a transverse living room with a fireplace, a music room, a kitchen with a back kitchen. The first floor distributes four bedrooms and a bathroom, with access to the vast attics on the upper levels.The second part, approximately 233 m², offers on the ground floor a living room with a monumental fireplace, a game room, and a laundry room that can also become a kitchen. The upstairs features an office with remarkable volumes, a bedroom, and a bathroom, while the top level combines two additional bedrooms.The outbuildings naturally extend the character of the place. The former stables in a right angle alone represent more than 160 m² of ground area, complemented by a garage, wood shed, and a large room of approximately 150 m². A rare ensemble, whose uses can remain as they are or become artistic, professional, or familial depending on the projects.Outside, the property is organized around a walled courtyard, lawns, and banks bordering the river. To the south, a terrace and garden overlook the water flowing slowly beneath the trees. A stone staircase descends to the river, where one can swim on sunny days. The relationship with the water gives the place a unique atmosphere: peaceful, vibrant, almost timeless.An old mill from Bessin with unusual volumes, located between Caen, Bayeux, and the sea, in a particularly harmonious environment.

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.

Numerous fruit trees mingle with the festivities all along this path until we reach the repository, where a thousand flowers and plants are delicately arranged in structured flowerbeds. A wood of around 3.70 acres (1.5 hectares) completes the décor, much to the delight of the roe deer... All the tree species are present (ash, elm, lime, yew, etc.).
