Manors for sale Brunoy, France

Ref.4442 : French chateau to restore for sale near Paris. This manor house is ideally located in the town centre of a small rural commune near Brie-Comte-Robert in the Seine-et-Marne region. All local shops are within walking distance. Buses run to nearby towns, including Melun, where regular trains take you to Paris in 25 minutes. Schools from nursery to collège are on site. From the street, a large wooden gate plunges you into the grounds of the manor house. The cobblestones that once adorned the courtyard have long since been hidden by vegetation and are eagerly awaiting the sun's rays once again. The surrounding buildings form four sides of a square, aligned with the points of the compass. The manor house and its main rooms are to the west. It is flanked by several circular turrets, clad in red and white brick, with horizontal bands that add a dynamic visual effect. These turrets give the building a feudal appearance, reminiscent of the architecture of castles and aristocratic residences. The roofs of the manor house reflect the eclecticism typical of 19th-century Romantic architecture, covered in flat tiles, slate and zinc. The ground floor is entered through a wooden door decorated with wrought-iron motifs and protected by an elegant canopy. A cement-tiled corridor leads, on the right, to a kitchen with its large stone fireplace and various storerooms. Opposite, the wooden staircase and to the left, three adjoining lounges. After the lounges, the south wing houses a toilet in its tower, followed by a small lounge, another entrance hall, a bathroom and a greenhouse. On the first floor, there are around fifteen bedrooms and a bathroom that opens onto a terrace. An attic. On the second floor, a large bedroom and a 120 sqm attic. The total living area is around 900sqm. The outbuildings include : On the east wing, between the courtyard and the street, a caretaker's cottage with, on the ground floor, a lounge and a kitchen, and upstairs, two adjoining bedrooms and a bathroom. Stables with 4 enclosed boxes. An orangery. To the north, various premises used as a garage, fruit store and workshop. The manor house stands in grounds of around 7,000 sqm, which are also derelict. Hidden beneath the vegetation, you can see old buildings such as a gazebo, a dovecote and a kennel. According to the current owners, there was an underground passage linking the manor house to the gazebo. Access to it is nowhere to be seen. Like the rest of the property, it will take passion, patience and courage to restore it, but it's well worth the effort. With the sun shining through it from sunrise to sunset, and with its large windows opening onto the garden, the manor house will offer an exceptional living environment to whoever adopts it.

45 kilometres southeast from Paris, a 12th-century manor, entirely restored, with its moats, outbuildings and 4 7-hectare grounds. Behind the wrought-iron fence, the property is revealed in all its splendour. To the left, the former watchtower, once defensive in nature, seems to welcome visitors today. Across from it, the manor stands facing a vast lawn. Behind it, a paved patio looks out on the former moats, partially encircled by stone ramparts. To the northwest, an apartment located in a semi-detached barn completes the whole. Two driveways provide access to the grounds. The group of buildings harmoniously blend together thanks to their pointed exposed stone façades, pierced with rectangular or arched windows and embellished with wooden window frames and doors. The window surrounds are in ashlar stone, which match the colour of the plaster. The flat-tile gabled roofs are perforated with pedimented hayloft dormer windows. Corner and façade wall ties are in white or grey ashlar stone. The first vestiges of the manor date back to the 12th century. Subsequently and through the unification of several fiefdoms and domains in 1787, the construction started to resemble “a fortified house consisting of a group of dwellings and large moats of water”. The manor still contains many elements that bear witness to its long history.
