manors with reception room for sale Manche, France

In the Cotentin bocage, 15 min from Saint-Lô, a 15th- and 18th-century manor house, with service quarters and dovecote on an 8 ha estate. A wooded drive descends from the road into a small valley. The manor comes into view beyond the dovecote and service quarters. Once a Protestant household, it was the property of the Dagobert family. A broad gravelled forecourt, centred on a stone well, fronts the courtyard elevation. The architecture reflects two distinct building campaigns, spanning the 15th and 18th centuries. The main building rises over a ground floor and upper level, with attic space beneath a slate roof pierced by multiple windows. On the garden side, a circular stair tower topped with a slated pepper-pot roof punctuates the elevation, and the stone walls are set with broad cross-mullioned windows. The two wings connect at each level and can be fitted out as self-contained dwellings.

A restored manor house, outbuilding and 2 hectares of grounds, in a village by the sea on the Cotentin peninsula. In a hamlet a few hundred metres from the village centre, a small road runs alongside the low hedge of the property’s garden. In the distance, a turret topped with a slate roof stands guard over a white wooden gate. Once you’ve crossed it, a gravel path runs alongside a low bench-like wall topped with railings. After a second gate, the driveway leads to the main house and an inner courtyard. The house, built of exposed white stone, is two storeys’ high with an attic, topped by a recently renovated slate roof and crowned with tall chimneys. The facades have straight shaped, evenly spaced windows, with restored white wooden shutters. A pediment adorned with scrolls and Renaissance heraldic figures has a window decorated with an accolade and a coat of arms. The oldest part comprises the remains of a chapel belonging to a 12th-century presbytery. On the ground floor, the house has an entrance hall, a kitchen and utility rooms, a dining room, two living rooms, a bedroom and a shower room. On the first floor there is a master bedroom, four further bedrooms, a shared shower room, a toilet and a bathroom; and in the attic, a loft and two uninsulated rooms. The main building has been extended with a number of more recent additions. At the back, a space featuring large windows is topped by stone balusters. A wing set back from the main building and outbuildings enclose the inner courtyard. These buildings house a garage, a workshop and storage areas, whilst the upper floor is divided into two flats and a spacious communal lounge. It has a slate roof. Beyond the courtyard, the grounds are vast and enclosed, covering 2 hectares comprising pastures, gardens and extensive lawns bordered by various species of tall trees planted in the 1950s. Around the house, the lawns, the vegetable patch and the flowerbeds form an ornamental garden that gradually opens out onto the surrounding landscape.
