A large townhouse to be renovated, from the 16th and 17th centuries, with outhouses divided into apartments, nestled in the town of Falaise in Normandy’s Calvados department. The property stands on a calm street. The old edifice was doubtless an important home at the time of the Catholic League of France – a major participant in the French Wars of Religion. As early as in the 14th century, this part of the town was home to the burghers of Guibray – a district of Falaise. Their land initially belonged to the abbots of the local Abbey of Saint John. Fairs were held here and there were many inns in this district too. The house was probably one of those inns. It is set back from a small square that still bears the name of one of the members of the Catholic League of France in Falaise, from the time of the French Wars of Religion. Nicknamed the Hôtel du Grand Coq, the edifice was later the home of a wealthy parliamentarian. It lies near Notre-Dame de Guibray church and is tucked away on a well-preserved historical street, a short stroll from specialist food shops and amenities. On the street side, the noble edifice has an appearance that is typical of the 16th and 17th centuries. The structure is more wide than tall and is made of Caen stone. On the court side, the building is made up of three dwellings that form a square courtyard, half of which was later linked to the initial dwelling. The edifice’s rear elevation bears witness to the redesigns that have taken place over the course of the centuries: there are corbels, roof slopes and the remains of a tower that was reduced in height and which dates back to at least the 16th century. On the left, a stone elevation is coated with rendering in the modern part. Beyond it, there is a small outhouse with a slate roof and two small-paned windows. Lastly, with its back to the street and leading out through the rear elevation of the main dwelling, there is a former forge that has been converted into a dwelling. It has seven windows. From the court, steps lead to the back of the plot. The property’s walls enclose the whole plot. In the central court, low walls demarcate different small gardens. To the right of main section, on the court side, there is a timber gallery that connects to the different apartments on the first floor.

Ref.4627 : Beautiful chateau with estate of 425 acres in Normandy. Overlooking the steep meanders of the River Orne, the morning mist dissipates under the first rays of the sun, revealing the contours of a place steeped in history, born more than five centuries ago in the heart of Normandy. Out of time and away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, the château blossoms in a setting of unspoilt nature, typical of Norman Switzerland, offering peace and serenity. Just a few kilometres away, the towns of Argentan and Falaise offer shops and services. Easy access by road and rail, just 2 hours from Paris. Invisible to the eye, the château is revealed at the end of a majestic avenue of hundred-year-old lime trees, retaining all the magic of its appearance. THE OUTBUILDINGS : 1) THE CHAPELS: The chapels are located around a hundred metres south of the château. The main chapel was built in 1900 by Georges de Séguin on a hillside overlooking the Orne valley. It is built entirely of granite, in a neo-Gothic style. It has a slate roof (a complete overhaul is required, for which an estimate has been drawn up). The archangel Saint-Michel watches over the destiny of this consecrated chapel, which has witnessed many family ceremonies. There is a vault in the basement. Adjacent to the main chapel is the current sacristy and the former chapel, which dates back to the 15th century and features a façade enhanced by a flamboyant mullioned bay window with period stained glass. Most of the windows are period, except for those in the choir, which were rebuilt after the war by master glassmakers from Chartres. 2) THE COMMONS: Facing each other on either side of the secondary entrance, 2 long stone buildings with flat tile roofs house the logistical facilities on one side and the Calvados-related activities on the other. These outbuildings date from the 17th century. a) WESTERN outbuildings: An elegant kennel, a stone shelter, a storage room, a workshop (former tack room), a tack room with saddle racks and bridle racks. Access to the first floor with, on the right, a former 4-room dwelling awaiting renovation; on the right, a huge attic. Carriage house. Stalls for 4 horses. 2 garages (3 cars). Field brick floors - 4.15 m high. b) SOUTH COMMONS: These are entirely reserved for the production and ageing of the estate's calvados, with the brandy cellars housed in two spacious rooms. A third room is used for ‘dry materials’. Calvados production is based on 35 hectares of apple trees. Only part of the orchard's production is kept to be pressed, then distilled, aged and blended. This production has been sized to enable the annual marketing of 5,000 very top-of-the-range boxes of calvados over fifteen years old. These calvados carry the protected Crèvecoeur brand and are sold in France and abroad. One employee carries out all the tasks associated with the winery. The employee has his own accommodation, dating from the time of Henri IV, located on the gable end of the outbuildings. Built over two and a half storeys, the ground floor comprises two large rooms and a kitchen. A bedroom with bathroom/wc is on the first floor. A second bedroom can be accessed from the gable end of the adjoining outbuilding. 3) DWELLING HOUSE: This house, built in the 19th century, is situated in the extension of the west outbuildings. It is built of stone with a slate 4-slope roof and comprises 3 stories as follows: Ground floor: veranda / large living room / kitchen / wc. 1st floor: 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. 2nd floor: a bedroom and a convertible attic. This house is currently being renovated and will be the future home of the estate's caretaker. 4) THE GUARD'S TOWER: Built in the 15th century, this tower resembles a dovecote and is located on the west side of the outbuildings, close to the caretaker's house. Built of jointed stone with a flat tile roof and topped with an elegant pepperpot dome, its overall appearance is imposing, an impression that is borne out by the 1.20 m thick walls. It has 2 levels with a diameter of 9 m. This watchtower houses a water softening station (limestone). 5) FARM BUILDINGS: These are located slightly below the cellars and are used mainly for cider-making and logistics on the estate: The first room houses the cider vats. A vast canopy houses the farm equipment. A barn (15 x 7m). A workshop. A bread oven. 6) GARDENER'S HOUSE: set back to the west of the castle, with no facing building. Stone house with slate roof, built over 2 stories as follows: Ground floor: kitchen/lounge/dining room/wc. First floor: 2 bedrooms/bathroom. Good general condition - recent door frames. There is a vegetable garden opposite. 7) THE ORANGERY: Before the war, this was the winter home of the château's orange trees, a few of which are still kept in vats in the west outbuildings. Since then, it has been used as a workshop by the gardener. 8) THE POULAILLER: adjoining the gardener's house, it provides shelter for 2 vehicles. 9) THE WOODEN SHELTER: located at the foot of the château, restored in the early 1960s, it can be used to store wood or garden furniture. 10) THE STABLE: A pointed stone structure with a wooden ridge (approx. 7 m x 7 m), used for storing fodder or as a stall, situated in the large gardens to the rear of the château (7 m x 7 m). It has a wonderful view down towards the Orne. It would be perfect as an artist's studio. 11) LES NAUDIERES: Farmhouse situated on the other bank of the River Orne with a dwelling house, 2 large barns (16x7 m), another barn (23.5x9.5 m) used as storage for farm equipment. A small house (6.5x5m) used for hunting meals. The ‘Naudières’ dwelling is currently under a residential lease. 12) LA SCIERIE: Main dwelling (10x5m), small adjoining house, large barn (22x7m), on the water's edge, adjoining the dwelling. Other buildings in the extension (20x5.80m). The exceptional beauty of this estate is implicitly linked to the quintessence of its setting. Set in a dominant position on an unspoilt site, the château enjoys total protection in the heart of its 170 hectares. The drive up to the château is majestic and almost endless. No less than 800m of tree-lined driveways lead to the first lawns, revealing the first towers of the building, in the heart of a park laid out in the English style, where each of the many species sets a charming scene. It was at the end of the twentieth century that the current owners realised the need to redesign the park, with the aim of opening up the vistas around the château so as to make the most of the many views from the site. The four cardinal points were thus embellished, offering lawns and meadows to the north and east, the chapel and the meandering Orne to the south, and the elegant outbuildings to the west... The estate stretches over a number of espaliered plateaux, all converging on the wild, sloping banks where the Orne flows for some 7 km right through the heart of the property. A fishing ground of rare quality. The nature of the soils is balanced and harmoniously thought out. The château boasts: around 4 hectares of adjoining parkland; organic, high-stem apple orchards covering 33 hectares; meadows, fallow land (66 hectares uncultivated) and woods (47 hectares) complete the setting with around 20 hectares of additional land, including 7 hectares under lease. The estate is not subject to any easements or nuisances, whether visual, olfactory or auditory. Thanks to the presence of a rich endogenous fauna, the estate has a roe deer hunting plan, which is carried out in a respectful and measured manner, thanks to the family or friendly spirit that prevails on the few days dedicated to this activity.

Ref.4893 : 15th-c. listed manor house in need of restoration, with a habitable annexe and garden, in Normandy In the heart of a small village of some 180 souls, at the gateway to the valleys of ‘Swiss Normandy’ – renowned for their idyllic, rolling landscapes dotted with hedgerows – a stunning Renaissance manor house has stood for over 10 centuries. Situated in the heart of the Orne department, in a region of stud farms, lakes and rivers, sharing the countryside with neighbours as discreet as they are reassuring, this manor house remains a local curiosity, its history being so rich in events. Just a few leagues from the shops and services needed for daily life, the property also benefits from its proximity to well-served towns, such as Falaise, less than 15 km away. Undoubtedly aimed primarily at those who appreciate authenticity, this property – which features a renovated annexe – will offer everyone the opportunity to settle in and complete the restoration of the manor house under the watchful eye of the Historic Monuments authority. 1) THE MANOR HOUSE: Its construction dates back to the 15th C. (around 1589). It is a late Renaissance ‘house’, situated at the centre of a complex of farm buildings forming a front courtyard and a rear courtyard. The manor house comprises a main building with its principal façade facing east, featuring a rear wing at right angles to it, adjoining a square tower which was probably decapitated during the Revolution and which contains a fine spiral staircase. The roof is covered with flat tiles, with the exception of the tower, which is temporarily covered with corrugated steel sheeting. The complex comprises two distinct courtyards, both flanked by more or less adjoining outbuildings, as follows: Front courtyard: former stables, equipment sheds, barn, bread oven and well. Rear courtyard: henhouse, pigsty, cart shed, barn and well. There is also a cider house with an attic used for storage. Today, only the structural framework of this building remains, excluding the roof structure and roofing. At the gable end stands a dwelling for the estate’s farm labourers, now in ruins. The manor house has retained a few period features, including several fireplaces, mullioned windows, a watchtower and a semi-circular archway… The cornices and roof structures are remarkable, as are the floor rafters. 2) THE DWELLING : Built of mortared rubble stone over two storeys and topped with a small-tile roof, this house underwent a complete restoration some fifteen years ago, enabling the owners to settle here rather than restoring their manor house. It is now a comfortable home with around 100 square metres of living space, laid out as follows: Ground floor: Entrance leading to a straight staircase with a quarter turn, featuring wooden balustrades with balusters. Access to a bathroom with shower – terracotta tile flooring. Separate toilet with washbasin. Living room (20 sqm), with fireplace (wood-burning stove) – terracotta tile flooring – exposed beams. Ceiling height under beams: 2.30 sqm. Kitchen/dining room (18 sqm) – terracotta tile flooring – exposed beams. Utility room (5.80 sqm). External access. Storage room / Boiler room (3.78 sqm). First floor: Carpeted landing (4.61 sqm). Bedroom 1 with carpeted floor (17.95 sqm), with a mezzanine for additional sleeping space. ‘Cathedral-style’ ceiling. Bedroom 2 with glued solid wood flooring (13.50 sqm) – Tiled shower room with adjoining toilet (recently fitted). ‘Cathedral-style’ ceiling. Ceiling height 4.80 m. OUTBUILDINGS : By definition, every manor house leads a self-sufficient existence, reflected in the presence of a large number of buildings, each with a clearly defined purpose. This manor is no exception to the rule, but the passage of centuries has taken its toll on certain buildings, which are now either completely destroyed or in a state of ruin. Consequently, the location of the farm labourers’ cottage, situated between the gable end of the manor and the former henhouse, can now only be discerned by the presence of a few low stone walls. The bread oven has also disappeared. However, extending from the wing of the manor house, a long building without a roof structure remains, which served as a cider house and cart shed. This 18th-C. building underwent emergency restoration to prevent its collapse, including that of the stone porches. On the east side of the manor house stands an imposing stone building with a tiled roof, which formerly served as stables and a hay barn. This building has now been restored. LAND : The property is situated in the heart of a village of some 180 inhabitants, on the outskirts of the famous and renowned ‘Normandy Switzerland’, including its iconic town of Putanges, less than a league away. It features a wooded and flower-filled park of just over one hectare, offering distant, rolling views of the countryside. Numerous fruit trees (apple, pear, plum, cherry, quince and mirabelle plum) dot this peaceful and serene setting. The grounds require minimal maintenance in the immediate vicinity of the property; a plot to the north, is looked after by a neighbouring farmer, as part of good neighbourly relations. A small stream marks the northern boundary of the property, which covers an area of 2.9 acres. By order of 4 May 1990, the Renaissance manor house was listed in its entirety on the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments. This property is a historic monument (allowing fiscal tax cuts if you pay taxes in France).

Ref.4424 : French listed manor house for sale in Normandy In the heart of Normandy, in the emblematic Pays d'Auge, on the outskirts of a market town of just over a hundred souls, a stunning estate with a fortified appearance has stood secretly out of sight for over five centuries, its only surroundings the luxuriant nature of its beautifully laid-out French-style parkland. The acknowledged heir to a past devoted to perfecting the edifice, this property today exudes a beautiful harmony and invites contemplation, exuding genuine feelings of well-being that have always encouraged the hosts of the premises to pass the torch only to sincere lovers of heritage. Everyday life, with all its many demands, is made easier by the proximity of a dynamic city only a few leagues away, with the towns of Caen and Lisieux providing all the necessary motorway, rail, sea and airport links.

A past... a heritage... a dream... a reality... everyone will appreciate if they can invite themselves into history. The manor house was built on an almost square plan in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, before undergoing extensive alterations in the 18th century. This was clearly a ‘defensive’ property, built on a platform surrounded by a moat, with massive towers and numerous loopholes and firing points. The dwelling comprises a main body with a tower at each corner, each of different size and design depending on when they were built. The lower storey is built of small limestone rubble. It is topped by a timber-framed upper storey. A large triangular pediment, added in the 18th century, dominates the facade facing east. This facade is flanked by two symmetrical masonry towers with a hexagonal timber-framed upper storey. The south-facing facade is also flanked by two towers, one of which is cylindrical in stone and has a conical roof. The other to the north, square in plan, is a small keep. It has a limestone base. The upper storey is timber-framed and covered with five-hole tiles, the classic protection against the elements in the 17th century. An enclosed corbelled gallery joins the towers to the south and west. The original north wall is only visible from inside the dwelling, as it was lined with a timber-framed wall in the 17th century for greater convenience. The entire dwelling is on a human scale, with approx. 250 sqm of living space distributed as follows: Ground floor: Main entrance via the east tower (exposed stone walls, terracotta floor tiles, fire-place) - (ceiling height : 3.28 m); Living room (44 sqm) (fabric, terracotta floor tiles, 2 stone fireplaces (one functional), overmantel) - ceiling height: 3.30 m ; Kitchen (15 sqm) (stone floor, monumental fireplace (wood-burning stove), exposed joists; Second entrance hall (15 sqm) used as scullery, cloakroom, boiler room, wc, wooden spiral staircase; Hallway (6.85x1.00 m) with outside access to the gardens and to the spiral staircase; Dining room in the east tower (exposed stonework, terracotta floor tiles, bare ceiling), 3.30 m high; Stone spiral staircase leading to the upper floors.

LANDS The property is at a reasonable distance from the little-used departmental road, thus benefiting from absolute peace and quiet. The official entrance is marked by two handsome stone pillars inviting you to follow the avenue of lime trees leading to the farmyard. A large orchard bordered by bright hedges of hornbeam precedes the first buildings of the farmyard, revealing generous grass that could give some horses a hankering.... This is followed by the farmyard, staggered slightly back from the manor house. From the small car park, the eye is immediately drawn to the moat; the culvert plunges us back into history by inviting us onto the manor's grassed terraces.

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.
