Close to Pompadour, a 17th-century manor in the pedestrian heart of a village, completely restored, with its outbuildings and landscaped areas. From the square of the village's parish church, bordered by a processional cross, the southern entrance of the property, composed of outbuildings with steep roofs covered in Allassac slate, is closed by a tall wooden gate, pierced by a pedestrian door and adorned with clovers. It is also surrounded by a stone vault with a sculpted stone medallion, giving the whole an appearance of a wall, harmoniously integrated into the architectural environment dominated by the 16th-century church, with its typical comb-shaped bell tower. Fully enclosed by walls, the inner courtyard organizes the domestic life of the small estate and allows movement sheltered from any disturbance to the manor, whose horizontally arranged façade closes off the square of domestic buildings while allowing access to the double-terrace gardens. A communal path runs along the property on its western side and provides pedestrian access to the courtyard. A carriage entrance is also located at the bottom of the garden. The long house on two levels, pierced with numerous small-paneled windows, is a rectangular building with a gabled roof, punctuated by five sloping dormers and topped with three chimney stacks. The embedded stone coats of arms testify to the historical affiliation of the manor with the lordship of Chabrignac, whose count’s castle, famous for having once hosted the last empress of Annam, abuts the property lines.This description has been automatically translated from French.
