luxury house with terrace for sale Domfront, France

A 19th century renovated and reinvented farmhouse with a 4 200 m² garden planted with trees, in the north of the Domfrontais region in Orne . The property appears at the bend in an ancient road which is barely more than a small country lane. Situated in the centre of a hamlet, it is made up of an old farmhouse dating back to the 1830s, set against the hillside and surrounded by farm buildings which are scattered throughout the grounds. Sloping gently to the south, the development stretches out on either side of the road. The main plot is accessed from the west, through a courtyard overlooking the façade of the former farmhouse. Over the years, this authentic little farmhouse in the Orne countryside has been transformed into an original ensemble. Several extensions have been added by successive occupants, without ever breaking with the proportions and aesthetics of the pre-existing building. The façade has a slate gable roof and three windows to the south. The west gable is crowned by a chimney stump and pierced by small windows. To the east, the original building is flanked by a tower and several additions with single-pitch roofs. The first is a garage to the east of the farmhouse and in front of the tower. The second, adjoining the first, is a small lean-to. The third, with a slate roof, is attached to the east of the farmhouse. The entrance door is preceded by a glazed porch. A wooden terrace extends from the large window. Lined with black shutters, the windows are fitted with rounded red joinery. To the south, the garden includes a vegetable patch and extensive tree-lined lawns. A storeroom and garage, a barn, an open-sided shelter, a woodstore and a workshop are dotted around the property, in keeping with the local tradition of having a building for each particular use.

An 18th-century former hamlet and its breath-taking garden of more than one hectare, on the outskirts of Bagnoles-de-l’Orne, in Normandy’s Orne department. This former hamlet, refurbished and combined into one single property, is accessible via a dirt lane bordered by an apple orchard, while the buildings themselves are organised around an asymmetrical courtyard and include a large main dwelling, composed of several different, seamlessly connected volumes, a second, smaller dwelling, which could be used as a holiday cottage or a guesthouse, a bakehouse and a former pigsty. Facing east-west, the two-storey main dwelling features a pointed stone exterior on its courtyard side, which is, in turn, cadenced by wood-framed windows as well as dormers on its red tile roof. Behind, on the house’s western side, glass double doors open on to a patio festooned with a grapevine as well as a garden planted with trees, providing unobstructed views overlooking a stream, the latter of which is traversable via a small bridge and winds its way through the garden, flowing over small waterfalls and irrigating aquatic vegetation, such as horsetails and reeds. To the north of the courtyard, the bakehouse and pigsty, today converted into annexes with more practical uses, have preserved their original charm with their stone walls and tile roofs, while the independent holiday cottage, facing south, features a lintel etched with the year 1778 and is accessible from one side via a flight of steps blanketed with nasturtiums. Built out of stone, its exteriors, punctuated by windows providing plunging views of the property, are also topped with a flat tile roof. Carpeted with meadows, woods and a meticulously maintained garden, planted with mature trees and flowerbeds, the property also includes a small artificial pond located towards the southern part of the grounds.

Ref 4701: 1905 Manor house with outbuilding and garden for sale in Normandy. At the gateway to the Flers countryside, Norman Switzerland and the Houlme region, this small town of 2,500 inhabitants proudly displays its conservative ambitions as a rural community, while still offering a respectable range of economic and commercial opportunities. Benefiting from a resolutely natural environment, adjacent to the Normandy/Maine Regional Park, this medium-sized town has managed to preserve, thanks to its strong local dynamism, a spirit of conviviality and a certain ‘savoir-vivre’ that brings peace and serenity. Here, the countryside is on every street corner, but everyday necessities are never far away... just down the road. It takes just a few minutes to reach the towns of Flers, Condé and Briouze, a few miles away, offering all the essential amenities and services (including an SNCF railway station). Benefiting from its privileged proximity to the renowned ‘Suisse Normande’ region, there is no shortage of outdoor activities (hiking, fishing, hunting, climbing, rock climbing, paragliding), communal woods or national forests, lakes and ponds... so many inspiring assets, whether as a main residence or simply a holiday home. Historically known for having hosted the patients of a renowned doctor for many years, this manor house now has the potential to offer a professional, craftsman or artist a place suited to the demands and vicissitudes of their professions... while others will refine their plans for guest rooms here. This manor house has a main body made of granite stone joined with lime, built on four levels and topped with a four-sidd slate roof. On its right side, it is flanked by an asymmetrical two-level wing, which has been extended at the rear to accommodate the medical practice.

A pretty 1900s-style gazebo completes the setting. The south-west is more private, grassy and decidedly green under the protective eye of its cedar tree. The addition of a wooden terrace, sheltered from view, provides a convivial space for beautiful summer evenings.
