manor with terrace for sale Combourg, France

A renovated manor house with a swimming pool, outbuildings and a private lake, 20 minutes from the French city of Rennes. The large 16th-century manor house stands beside its private lake. It is surrounded by more than one hectare of wooded grounds, through which a canal and waterfall flow. The renovated exterior is combined with a contemporary interior, which includes an extensive indoor swimming pool set in a space that connects to a sauna and steam room. The manor house offers 400m² of liveable floor area. It is completed with an 80m² self-contained apartment, a 40m² gîte and garages with a workshop that total 220m² in floor area. You first follow a large tree-lined drive that runs alongside a canal where ducks and moorhens frolic. The manor house then comes into view, in front of a vast lawn surrounded by majestic trees. The edifice is made of granite and is crowned with a slate roof. It has a main section with a ground floor and a first floor and windows set in surrounds of dressed stone. This section is flanked with two towers – one crowned with a pyramidal roof and the other with a steep hipped roof. In line with this main section, there is a long 19th-century section with timber extensions. These parts house a self-contained apartment and garages with a workshop. Standing at a right angle to the manor house, a granite outbuilding with a slate roof houses a gîte and garage. Parkland extends behind the manor house. There is a space for practising golf and lakeside terraces too. The lake is surrounded by weeping willows and silver poplars.

Ref. 4878 : Breton hamlet with a manor house, holiday cottages and a wooded garden between Rennes and Dinan Located 35 km north-west of Rennes, this group of houses enjoys a beautiful rural setting. The N12, just 10 km from the hamlet, provides easy access to the Breton capital, its hospital, its TGV station (connecting to Paris in 1 hour 30 minutes) and its airport. Schools, colleges and sixth-form colleges, shops and supermarkets, and doctors’ surgeries are a 10-minute drive away. The station in this small town provides a 20-minute journey to Rennes, ensuring convenience for those who work there. Nearby, tourist attractions offer a rich and varied cultural programme throughout the year: the medieval town of Dinan; Bécherel, the ‘City of Books’, a medieval village with 15 bookshops and its famous book fair; Combourg Castle, owned by Châteaubriant in the 19th century; Saint-Malo, the pirate city; and, of course, Rennes, with its Parliament of Brittany and its Opera House. Finally, the beaches of the Emerald Coast, notably Saint-Malo and Dinard, are less than 45 minutes away, offering easy access to a delightful and sought-after seaside setting. Originally, there was a farmhouse and two outbuildings, which were undoubtedly used for agricultural purposes at the time. Restored and extended in the 1960s, then in the 2000s and 2020s, they are clad in slate, with walls alternating between exposed stone and rendered surfaces. Visitors come upon them at the end of a cul-de-sac lined with cultivated fields. Like a small hamlet, the complex consists of a main house, currently occupied by the owners, and a second building featuring a tower, known as ‘the Manor’, divided into several dwellings currently let as holiday cottages. The various buildings, covering a total area of 400 sqm, are spread out across the grounds, ensuring each has its own private space. THE MANOR HOUSE: On arrival, the first building you come to is ‘the Manor House’. The doors on either side of its tower provide access to two properties, guest rooms and a flat: The first gîte is on one level: living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a shower room. The second gîte is spread over the ground floor and first floor: living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a shower room. The staircase in the tower leads to the guest rooms on the first floor. There are two of them, each with its own shower room. This spiral staircase then leads to a flat in the attic: living room with kitchen, two bedrooms, and a shower room. THE MAIN HOUSE: Set back from this first building, past the small porch topped with an ermine carved into the stone, lies the main house, which is itself divided into two sections: The owners’ current living quarters are arranged around an entrance hall, a large living room with a kitchen area, a bedroom, a shower room and a utility room on the ground floor. A wooden staircase leads to the first-floor landing, which leads to: - On one side of this landing, two bedrooms and a bathroom. - On the other, a bedroom, a shower room and a small kitchen. These latter rooms form a small flat that can be separated from the rest of the property via an external staircase. In the attic, a loft has been converted for storage. A further gîte, adjoining this property yet with its own separate entrance, comprises a living room with kitchen, a shower room on the ground floor and two adjoining bedrooms on the first floor. With its optimised accommodation capacity, this group of houses is ideal for operating as holiday cottages for tourists wishing to enjoy the region’s cultural riches, or for work teams on assignment in Rennes or one of the surrounding business parks. This hamlet could also be designed to accommodate a large family, with a main residence suitable for year-round living and fully self-contained annexes, ready to be opened and heated depending on whether they are occupied permanently or temporarily. OUTBUILDINGS : A two-storey building with a slate roof is accessible from the garden. It is likely a former smithy, with a stone base and rammed-earth walls. Its 50 sqm currently provide a spacious storage area, with the advantage of being on one level across both storeys. A large cellar and a small terrace, adjoining this building, complete the property. A large carport, situated at the entrance to the property, can easily accommodate three cars. LAND : Each of the ground-floor homes features a courtyard or terrace. All are paved, allowing for easy movement between each unit. Their south-east and south-west exposures make it easy to enjoy them. The entire 3,772 sqm garden is landscaped, filled with flowers and trees, and surrounded by fields; this particularly peaceful setting encourages residents to live in tune with the seasons, with a view of the surrounding harvests. The arrangement of the trees, particularly the fruit trees, offers a glimpse of various idyllic and harmonious worlds for those who love gardening.

Historic manor with outbuildings, royal courtyard, and valley viewUpon arrival, the charm works its magic. Behind its walls, the Manoir de la Quintaine reveals an extraordinary property, of which the first impression is probably one of its greatest assets: a majestic royal courtyard that immediately gives the place its full dimension. Organized around an elegant U-shaped architecture, the property consists of several buildings with distinct functions, each benefiting from its own access: the main building of the Manor, two independent pavilions, a gîte, and the former carriage garages. A coherent architectural ensemble, steeped in history, that today offers many possibilities for use. A place steeped in history. The Manoir de la Quintaine is rooted in an ancient history, closely linked to its territory. Its various buildings, architecture, and organization testify to a past where the property constituted a true living space, designed around the main house and its dependencies. The current owners have managed to preserve this identity while undertaking a tasteful renovation, primarily aimed at providing contemporary comfort without altering the soul of the place. In the main building, the volumes are generous, and light flows naturally from one room to another. The beautiful high ceilings contribute to this feeling of space, while the fireplaces and the stove provide a warm and authentic atmosphere. The kitchen, designed as a true living space, allows for family meals. It naturally opens onto the reception areas, including a main room of approximately 80 m², ideal for hosting many while retaining genuine conviviality. The ground floor also accommodates a bedroom that can easily be converted into an office, thus offering true single-level living according to needs. Upstairs, the main building offers three suites, designed as real private spaces. The two pavilions harmoniously complement the ensemble with six additional bedrooms spread across the two buildings. A particularly interesting configuration for accommodating a large family, hosting relatives, or considering a hosting activity. A rare potential for family life or a hosting project. The very configuration of the Manor allows for imagining several lives. It can naturally become a formidable family property, capable of hosting several generations and frequently welcoming family and friends. But its organization in several independent buildings also lends itself perfectly to a professional project: guest rooms, a guest house, a tea room, or even a venue for intimate receptions. The gîte is already a true asset. Independent, it has its own living space with kitchen and two bedrooms. Today, it is operated in complement to the property, covering annual expenses related to the Manor, thus adding a particularly interesting economic dimension to the project. Outbuildings yet to be imagined. Near the Manor, the former carriage garages still offer considerable potential. Spread over two levels of around 70 m² each, these spaces constitute a true blank slate for anyone wishing to continue the story of the place: guest house, workshop, professional space, reception hall, independent apartment, or any other project based on needs and permissions. At the back of the property, the gardens extend on two levels and offer a wholly different atmosphere from that of the main courtyard. More intimate, they become true relaxation spaces, with a remarkable view of the valley. A privileged setting to enjoy sunny days, organize outdoor meals, or simply take the time to contemplate the landscape. A property that is experienced as much as it is told. The Manoir de la Quintaine is one of those properties that cannot be reduced to a surface area or number of bedrooms. It is an architectural ensemble, a history, an atmosphere, and above all a place that still leaves room to write the next chapter. Between the majesty of its arrival courtyard, the character of the main building, the independent pavilions, the already operating gîte, and the former carriage garages to be reinvented, the property offers a rare combination of heritage, current comfort, and potential. A singular residence, ideal for a family in search of an extraordinary living space, but also for a buyer looking to bring a hosting project to life in a historic and preserved setting.This description has been automatically translated from French.
