A listed 14th-century monastic guesthouse, with almost 2 hectares of grounds in the Falaise region, on the borders of Normandy. Located in La Hoguette, the former Cistercian abbey of Saint-André-en-Gouffern was founded by Guillaume Talvas in 1130. In the 13th century, the monastery's growth was boosted by its vast estate, which included vineyards, saltworks and mills. Its influence extended over the entire region. Today, some fine remnants of the complex remain, bearing witness to its former splendour, such as its monastic guesthouse. From the centre of the village, a small road winds for 2 km, lined with meadows and woods, leading to a wooden gate flanked by stone pillars topped with decorative finials. This gate opens onto the wooded grounds, revealing the guesthouse, dating from the early 14th century. The gothic edifice has been painstakingly restored, retaining its ribbed vaults. At the edge of the park, there are a coach house and a former lodging. On the opposite side, a pedestrian gate leads to a path through a wood with a pond. The estate also includes a barn and its meadow, surrounded by a wall, around 100 m from the main house. The guesthouse overlooks a rolling, green landscape fringed with woodlands, where the Traîne-Feuilles stream gently burbles.

Functional, this property is ideal for family and professional projects, whether as a primary or secondary residence, or even as a holiday home. The priory takes the form of a relatively square enclosure, enclosed by four main buildings arranged around a courtyard of honour and completed by protective stone walls. In the background are the church and the ruins of an imposing tithe barn. The only entrance is to the south via two superb 4th-century ogival doors, one reserved for carts, the other for pedestrians. The main dwelling is adjoined by a double angled building, now used for events. The main dwelling features an almost identical three-storey stone façade, topped by a tiled roof. The overall effect is one of classicism, with perfectly symmetrical openings. The entrance is modest, with a simple ogival door in the center of the dwelling. With a living area of around 180 sqm excluding attic space, the dwelling is distributed as follows : Ground floor : small entrance facing a straight, simple staircase. To the right, dining room with stone fireplace and wood-burning stove (terracotta floor tiles / lime-rendered walls). Kitchen and scullery to follow (terracotta floor tiles). WC (terracotta floor tiles). Left, living room with large stone fireplace and wood-burning stove (carpeting / exposed stone and plaster / painted joists). Room to follow, currently used as storeroom. First floor : landing and corridor leading to three bedrooms with parquet flooring, one of which adjoins a bathroom. Access to the attic, which is largely convertible.

APPENDIX : located back from the dwelling, this consists of two adjoining stone buildings, one of which has two levels. The main part is a vast cathedral-shaped reception room of 120 sqm, which can accommodate up to 100 guests. An adjoining room can accommodate up to fifteen guests in a more quiet setting. Disabled WC. Fully equipped professional kitchen. Legally compliant safety standards. Rear access for caterer.

An overhanging bedroom is reserved for 'newlyweds' ... who cannot be guaranteed perfect privacy! A terrace can be accessed from the dormitory, probably the former priest's room, adjoining the church, but now open to the sky... with only a beautiful monumental fireplace to decorate it. 2. SAINT-PIERRE CHURCH : the first stone dates back to 1072, with completion probably in the 14th century. Listed as a historic monument in 1929, it was long neglected and doomed to oblivion until the end of the 20th century, when the Bâtiments de France carried out a conservative-style renovation. The column capitals, vaults and windows are elegantly crafted. The capitals are adorned with beaded tracery, canelure or gadroons, flowers, foliage and other varied ornamentation. The arched windows are adorned on the outside with a beaded torus that frames them completely. The church has now been rescued and largely restored, and the floor can now boast flagstones, which the owner of the premises has made available by chance or by judicious research. 3. THE DIME BARN: slightly set back from the church, the ruins of this immense building remain, and will now be difficult to save. 4. THE OUTBUILDING: located on the courtyard side, this large building was probably designed to house the farm's animals. It consists of two separate parts, all in good condition and recently re-shingled. Attic. The floor area is around 100 sqm. 5. AUVENT: located right next to the main entrance, it now serves as a perfect carport. Its less noble Eternit roofing stands out, and will be the subject of a forthcoming estimate. The property is set on a plateau with unobstructed, far-reaching views. A beautiful wooded area breaks the monotony to the west. To the east are horse parks with wooden lices and a vast parking area. Within the walls, the South brings light and warmth… A few trees and fruit trees adorn the surroundings, while roses and Virginia creeper add color to the buildings. An old kitchen garden awaits restoration of its surrounding walls and the 'green thumb' who will bring it back to life. The whole property covers around 4 hectares, including just over one hectare within the city limits. The owner is open to negotiations for a further fifteen hectares or so. NB : a wind farm project is planned for around 1.5 km to the south of the property. This situation should not affect the current view, which benefits from the presence of the building adjoining the porch. Current operating costs of around 7840 euros (table of charges available) IR credit of 2000 euros - Monument historique status.

A watermill and its millrace in a beautiful bucolic backdrop, nestled by the meanders of the River Orne in Normandy. A country road leads down through woods and meadows to a private lane that takes you to the dwelling. A large gate opens onto a paved driveway that leads to the watermill. There is a big wooden garage behind it. A millrace made of stone runs alongside one side of the house and harnesses the river water through two oak sluice gates that open to let tree trunks float to the sawmill. A large island lies in the river. Two wooden footbridges lead to it. Behind the house, a terrace with a view of the River Orne lies opposite a timber shed. The watermill is made of local stone. It offers a floor area of around 200m². Its hipped roof of flat tiles is punctuated with hipped dormers and skylights. One section of the roof is raised. A continuous balcony runs along the first floor. Two timber corbels support a canopy above the entrance door. On both sides of the house, a broad stone terrace runs alongside the lawn. A lime-rendered elevation is dotted with large windows fitted with shutters painted blue and French windows that lead out into the garden. This watermill has appeared on maps since 1881. Today, its waterwheel has gone. Before, the mill used the river’s energy to saw wood. The waterwheel was opposite the lounge window. The sluice gates, the machinery of which is still here in place, would be opened so that logs could float along the millrace then be placed on a cart to be sawed. A saw blade, operated by the water’s energy, stretched across the room where the lounge is today.
