luxury house with pool for sale Argentan, 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.

Electric heating and wood-burning stove. Double glazing. Private sewage system. Terrace and flower garden. Wooded surroundings, close to a pond fed by a stream running along the edge of the park (‘Le Val’). The property is full of charm and perfectly functional. 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.

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. The house’s hipped mansard roof has slate tiles and is crowned with finials. Two imposing chimney stacks – one at each end – rise up from it. At the front, a gravelled drive marks the paths for walking and driving. Around this driveway, lush lawns draw your gaze to beautiful views of the grounds. The grounds form an English-style garden with majestic age-old trees dotted around the grand edifice. By the house’s entrance, neat yew hedges underline the ground-floor windows. At the back, there is a swimming pool. It lies parallel to the rear elevation. From a patio above the terrace, steps lead down to a paved poolside area that surrounds the swimming pool. Three palm trees tower around it. A gravelled path separates two extensive lawns that stretch to the edges of the property. Tall trees tower around the sides of the vast plot. There is an old greenhouse on the grounds too, as well as an outbuilding with a 150m² floor area. This outbuilding needs to be renovated. Beyond, there is a bucolic backdrop and the River Dives, which flows gently.
