luxury listed house for sale Les Herbiers, France

Thirty minutes from Angers, a listed MH village house. Flanked by two local stone pillars, an entrance gate opens onto a gravel courtyard. The imposing silhouette of the manor rises in front, with a wing of outbuildings on one side and the beginning of a garden that surrounds the building on the other. The building dates from the 16th century, but its origins are older. This is evidenced by the walls of its north and south gables, extended by later and smaller buildings. Built of stone rubble and coated with lime, the house has three levels, including one in the attic. The roof is made of Angers slate. At the center of the front facade, a pentagonal tower conceals the entrance and a staircase, with four openings on either side, two of which have mullions. The frames of the door and the openings are adorned with prism moldings and flamboyant friezes. A square tower set back at a right angle punctuates the rear facade. Transformed into a farm for over two centuries, the property was saved from ruin by the current occupants. The restoration work undertaken has been carried out in accordance with the rules of the art. The facades, roofs, and two chimneys from the 15th century have been listed MH since 1987.This description has been automatically translated from French.
