Réf. 4422 : 16th century manor house for sale near Dinan. The property is located close to the north coast of Brittany, in the Rance Valley Regional Nature Park. The Emeraude Coast is renowned for its magnificent landscapes, constantly renewed by spectacular high tides, a generous natural environment, an exceptionally rich heritage and a coastline sculpted by the sea (Cap Fréhel, Pointe du Grouin, etc.). Numerous outdoor activities (sailing, hiking, etc.) have been developed and the towns of character and history, whose reputation is well established, are easily accessible (the elegant town of Dinard, the corsair town of Saint Malo, Dinan....). Situated on the outskirts of a market town with all the shops and services you need for everyday life, this manor house enjoys peaceful, leafy surroundings. This manor house was first mentioned in the 16th century. The dwelling was rebuilt in the 18th century with an avenue and a large entrance gate. It was leased in the 19th century. According to oral tradition, the rear wing and stair turret date from the first quarter of the 20th century. The dwelling comprises a ground floor, a square storey and an attic storey. The position of the dormer windows suggests that there were 5 bays. However, the openings were altered during the previous century. The main facade faces south. The outbuildings (former stables, tack room and cowshed) are situated to the east of the courtyard. The pavilion to the south-west was a bakehouse. The Brittany region's heritage website tells us that ‘the pavilion... was used to wash the sheets and household linen twice a year’. The masonry used to hold the pot on the fire is still there. The Manor house has approx. 500 sqm of living space and the rooms are laid out as follows: The ground floor is divided into three rooms running the length of the dwelling. The main entrance hall leads to two lounges: the first, on the left, has parquet flooring and a fireplace and is distinguished by its beams, wood panelling and 18th century coffered ceiling. This room offers wonderful views over the parklands to which it provides access. The second lounge, with its fireplace, its plates marked with the Ermine and its tiled floor. The kitchen (to the far East) features the old fireplace from the dwelling. In an L-shape between the kitchen and the rear wing, a storeroom was created in the 1920s and houses various utility rooms (scullery, storeroom, separate toilet, workshop and boiler room). At the rear of the dwelling, the North wing provides additional depth and houses a large reception room (almost 65 m²) with herringbone parquet flooring. The room is bathed in light thanks to the many windows and offers uninterrupted views over the parklands. At the end of the main entrance hallway is the tower, which houses a separate toilet and a wooden spiral staircase to the first floor. Another stairway is located behind the kitchen. The first floor comprises the main dwelling and the North wing with 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 shower room, 1 kitchenette, 2 rooms with wash-hand basins adjoining 2 of the bedrooms and separate wc. The second floor comprises 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, an attic and rooms awaiting restoration. Outbuildings: To the East of the courtyard, the outbuildings are built of schist, with a tiled roof and window and door surrounds in two-tone brick, thus distinguishing it from the dwelling. The old stables are still there. The tack room has been converted into a flat (awaiting restoration) and the cowshed into a storage area. The roof and roof timbers need to be restored. To the rear, a building (with a natural slate roof) known as ‘la bergerie’ (the sheepfold) has been added to which are adjoining former latrines. To the West of the courtyard, the pavilion, where the buée was held, has a natural slate hipped roof. The corbels and roof dormers have been the subject of remarkable work. The manor house is flanked by a vast 2-storey garage featuring a remarkable arched carriage entrance. The grounds cover an area of approx. 2.95 acres, consisting mainly of vast parklands to the rear of the main dwelling. The walled parklands are home to a variety of tree species, including an extraordinary oak tree that is several hundred years old. A stream runs through a small valley on the eastern side. An old wash-house and a well are covered in vegetation. A greenhouse was restored in 2020 (glasswork and ironwork); it houses a magnificent vineyard that thrives in an idyllic setting.
