Four kilometers from the historic center of Bayeux, Normandie Privilège offers you a confidential property, combining a Norman half-timbered house and a contemporary outbuilding, in a landscaped garden of more than 5,000 m² with swimming pool. Out of sight, in a peaceful environment, this set develops an original approach. Two very different architectures coexist harmoniously, offering varied uses according to the projects. The property lends itself as naturally to a family residence as to a reception activity, each building retaining its perfect autonomy. The Norman house, with an area of about 183 m², cultivates the charm of traditional residences. Organized around a large living room of about 70 m² with fireplace, it benefits from a pleasant exposure to the south and opens onto a terrace lined with massifs and lawns. The equipped kitchen is completed by a pantry and a laundry room. The floor houses four bedrooms, including one of 21 m², a dressing room, a bathroom, toilets and access to the attic. A few meters away, the contemporary outbuilding of about 167 m² offers a decidedly different setting. Its large bay windows extend the living spaces towards a wooden terrace and a heated swimming pool. The ground floor includes a living room with open kitchen of about 90 m², three bedrooms each with their own bathroom, as well as a pantry, a cellar, a laundry room and the technical room of the pool. A fourth bedroom and an attic occupy the floor. A carport for two vehicles, a courtyard and a workshop complete the property. Fully enclosed and without vis-à-vis, the land offers a remarkable feeling of intimacy. The plantations, ornamental trees, the orchard and the vast lawns make up a mature, carefully maintained garden that highlights the two constructions without ever opposing them. Both accommodations have independent facilities. The Norman residence is heated by a gas boiler, replaced in 2020, supplemented by a heat pump. The contemporary annex is equipped with a heat pump installed in 2021, which also heats the pool. The whole is presented in an excellent state of maintenance.

In a peaceful hamlet of the Bessin countryside, around twenty minutes from Bayeux and just a few kilometres from Omaha Beach, Normandie Privilège presents an elegant 18th-century château with its guest house, outbuildings and nearly two hectares of landscaped parkland. Beyond the entrance gate lies a formal courtyard around which the various buildings are arranged. The château displays a restrained and harmonious neoclassical architecture. Its perfectly balanced façades are softened by tall multi-pane windows, traditional shutters and pale rendered walls beneath slate roofs. On the park side, the slightly projecting pavilions lend the property a quiet elegance characteristic of Norman aristocratic country houses. The château offers approximately 334 sqm of living space over two floors, with eight principal rooms including five bedrooms. Filled with natural light, the house opens broadly onto the south-facing parkland, creating an atmosphere of remarkable tranquillity, enhanced by the stone walls enclosing the grounds. Many original features have been carefully preserved: antique parquet floors, wood panelling, fireplaces, overmantels, period decorative painting and beautifully proportioned rooms. Renovation work carried out in the late 1970s respected the spirit and authenticity of the property. The house is heated by oil-fired central heating. The single-glazed windows retain their original espagnolette fittings, and the roof was entirely renewed in 2025. The layout is arranged as follows. On the ground floor, a through entrance hall leads on one side to a library and a large drawing room, and on the other to a dining room and spacious kitchen. Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while four further bedrooms and a bathroom complete the first floor. Under the eaves remain three former staff bedrooms together with several attic spaces. One of the former farm buildings was converted in the late 1990s into an independent guest house of approximately 130 sqm. Ideal for hosting family and friends in complete privacy — or for a hospitality project — it includes, on the ground floor, an entrance hall, kitchen, pantry and sitting room; upstairs are one bedroom with private shower room together with two additional bedrooms and a bathroom. Its secluded garden, partly enclosed by stone walls, also contains an old bakehouse in need of restoration. A double garage and storage building extend this part of the property. On the opposite side of the courtyard stands a former agricultural building, likely predating the château itself, comprising a carriage shelter, cider press, woodshed and technical rooms. Further outbuildings, some requiring complete restoration, suggest additional possibilities for future use. The grounds, extending to around two hectares, combine mature trees, lawns and an old pond. A rare family estate, remarkable for its balance and restraint: neither ostentatious nor frozen in time, but imbued with the quiet grace of houses that have endured through the centuries without losing their soul. ---- The price of this property is €735,000. The seller is responsible for the real estate agent's fees.

Bayeux Sotheby’s International Realty presents for sale, at the gates of Bayeux, a city of art and history with its historic center, its cathedral, and its museums, this very pretty Manor from the 15th and 16th centuries, steeped in history, tradition says it was once the property of the canons of the Bayeux chapter. A vast rectangular courtyard enhanced by a pond highlighted by a horseshoe wall offers beautiful and interesting typical dependencies of the Bessin. The Renaissance entrance porch is particularly remarkable as are the high surrounding walls, especially one of them fitted with a bretèche from the 15th century (a protruding defensive element, supported by two sturdy corbels, topped with a roof and retaining its arrow slits). Moving closer to more contemporary history, shortly after the landing, this property served as accommodation for a military hospital. The main house is well detached from the rest of the buildings, it has a composite construction, its left part being the oldest. As you visit the different levels, you will enjoy discovering magnificent architectural elements, such as on the ground floor, you can find a 16th-century staircase, a living room adorned with a lovely French-style ceiling and a monumental stone fireplace, as well as an old stone floor, a dining room with a Napoleonic spirit featuring its parquet flooring, paneling, and molded ceiling.

Adjacent to the main house, a guest house or cottage, with a living area of about 100m², offers three rooms including two bedrooms with old elements (parquet, marble fireplace, beams, and joists). As for the dependencies, they too have character, notably a large building composed of two beautiful cart sheds with their arched openings, completed by an old stable, stables, and a woodshed.

In Normandy, 15 km from Bayeux, a 18th-century château listed as a historical monument, within a 60-hectare estate of land, woods, and groves. Before the entrance to the village of Vaubadon, hidden behind a dense hedge, an avenue lined with a triple row of lime trees, grassed on either side, stretches out in a slow perspective that introduces the estate. It leads to the wrought iron gate, at which lies the honor court, preceded by moats. Around it, various elements of the property are organized: the walled vegetable garden and the gardener's house, the pond, the tennis court, and then the outbuildings, established around a large central courtyard. At the back, the park, listed as a historical monument, unfolds its lines to a vast pond bordered by rhododendrons. This, more than a simple embellishment, marks a transition with the surrounding countryside, like a passage between a designed landscape and nature left to a freer expression. The regularity of the openings, the height of the roofs, and the clarity of the composition characterize the ensemble of buildings. The château features a façade exposed to the southeast, facing the courtyard, whose regular order and harmonious proportions certify its classical character. Raised over two levels under the roof and resting on a semi-buried ground floor, it is organized around a central structuring body, extended by volumes added in the 19th century. The slate roofs, punctuated by dormer windows and high chimney stacks, as well as four pavilions topped with higher roofs, rhythm the silhouette and establish the presence of the residence in the landscape. This clarity of composition, the alliance between symmetry, order, and decor, earned the château its listing as a historical monument in 2012.This description has been automatically translated from French.
