Ref.4424 : French listed manor house for sale in Normandy In the heart of Normandy, in the emblematic Pays d'Auge, on the outskirts of a market town of just over a hundred souls, a stunning estate with a fortified appearance has stood secretly out of sight for over five centuries, its only surroundings the luxuriant nature of its beautifully laid-out French-style parkland. The acknowledged heir to a past devoted to perfecting the edifice, this property today exudes a beautiful harmony and invites contemplation, exuding genuine feelings of well-being that have always encouraged the hosts of the premises to pass the torch only to sincere lovers of heritage. Everyday life, with all its many demands, is made easier by the proximity of a dynamic city only a few leagues away, with the towns of Caen and Lisieux providing all the necessary motorway, rail, sea and airport links. The Pays d'Auge is a first-rate tourist destination, within easy reach of the sea, rich in varied landscapes, sporting and nature activities, and less than 200 km from the capital. A past... a heritage... a dream... a reality... everyone will appreciate if they can invite themselves into history. The manor house was built on an almost square plan in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, before undergoing extensive alterations in the 18th century. This was clearly a ‘defensive’ property, built on a platform surrounded by a moat, with massive towers and numerous loopholes and firing points. The dwelling comprises a main body with a tower at each corner, each of different size and design depending on when they were built. The lower storey is built of small limestone rubble. It is topped by a timber-framed upper storey. A large triangular pediment, added in the 18th century, dominates the facade facing east. This facade is flanked by two symmetrical masonry towers with a hexagonal timber-framed upper storey. The south-facing facade is also flanked by two towers, one of which is cylindrical in stone and has a conical roof. The other to the north, square in plan, is a small keep. It has a limestone base. The upper storey is timber-framed and covered with five-hole tiles, the classic protection against the elements in the 17th century. An enclosed corbelled gallery joins the towers to the south and west. The original north wall is only visible from inside the dwelling, as it was lined with a timber-framed wall in the 17th century for greater convenience.

An 18th-century manor with 4,000m² of lush grounds on the Camino de Santiago pilgrims’ way in Normandy’s Calvados department. The manor stands on slopes on the north side of Lisieux, near the River Touques. It is nestled in a lush backdrop. The property’s origins date back to the Middle Ages. It owes its name to a canon who would receive a prebend from the bishop in return for teaching the Holy Scriptures. The extensive plot of land forms a triangle where two calm roads meet. The majestic building is a single edifice that looks out at lush lawns, which extend around a driveway. The driveway leads to the manor and garage. It splits into two separate lanes that run along either side of the manor. A group of tall trees on the north side lies beyond an orchard, a vegetable patch and lawns. A thick thuja hedge encloses the grounds, ensuring absolute privacy. Beyond it, there is a semi-rural environment of green landscape that is dotted with woods and that stretches to the horizon. The manor was built in the 1780s and 1790s when forest-clearing had almost been completed in the region. It is a half-timbered construction with timber framing that is typical of architecture in the Pays d’Auge province. The main section has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. Oak was used for the building’s framework. Cob filler was used for the spaces between the beams and then lime-rendered. This method was inexpensive during the house’s period of construction. Today, it characterises the identity and charm of traditional Norman homes. The timber framing is mainly in the building’s upper section, its lower section being made of brick and stone. Old tiles cover the hipped roof. A protruding section on the east side that leads out southwards was built in the same style as the rest of the house, probably after the Second World War. Its roof has a jerkinhead end and eaves. The roof also has two dormers that face, at a right angle, two dormers on the roof’s east slope. On the entrance side, there are three other hipped dormers. Two brick chimney stacks rise up from the roof too. All the windows are single-glazed and have small panes. At the end of the house, an additional section adjoins the manor. It has a gable roof of old tiles with a small dormer. This extension forms a garage. It is used as a utility section and was probably originally a farm building to which the manor was added.

We are well in the 17th century ... lulled by Louis XIV . The main courtyard forms the main part of the landscape, half of which is paved with stones and half with grass. grass. The coolness of the nearby moat has encouraged the planting of a curtain of trees (prunus, laurel, birch, yew, conifer) to avoid any possible overlooking of the neighbouring property.

On the second floor : accessed via a straight wooden staircase, leading to a landing serving two bedrooms: On the north side, a bedroom/dressing room with parquet flooring (17 sqm), under a ‘cathedral’ roof ridge, intended for storage. On the south side, a bedroom with a small en-suite shower room (24 sqm). Terracotta tile flooring. Features a fireplace insert. ‘Cathedral’ roof ridge and sloping ceilings. The outbuildings are situated on either side of the cobbled driveway leading to the manor house. Their presence and function confirm the self-sufficient lifestyle enjoyed by rural estates, conferring upon them the appropriate status of a ‘manor farm’. 1) The largest, situated to the west, is a stone building with a tiled roof, comprising two storeys: A clay-floored cellar (10 x 5.40 m); A double-entry garage with a clay floor (7.80 x 5.40 m); A clay-floored carport (6.80 x 5.40 m), designed to shelter two vehicles. Beautiful timber frame. The structure is sound, the roof is recent. The upper floor consists of a full attic. 2) The eastern outbuilding, of a more modest size, is a tall stone building topped with a tiled roof, featuring a loft hatch providing access to an attic likely intended for storing straw. From left to right: a workshop on a concrete slab (5.60 x 4.95 m); A cellar on a concrete slab (3.80 x 4.95 m) intended for the storage of materials; A room with a clay floor (3 x 4.95 m), intended for the storage of straw; A small adjoining building, built of stone with a tin roof, a former bread oven. 3) Detached stone building with tile roofing, likely former stables (4.50 x 4.10 m). 4) Small stone cottage with tile roofing, set off to the west, opposite the manor house. The property enjoys a rural and unobstructed setting. The Gouffern Forest forms the backdrop, bordering the property’s boundaries and therefore directly accessible on foot or on horseback. The area has been primarily set aside for horses, which benefit from the beautiful meadows, which are both spacious and perfectly drained. A sand arena (25 x 20m) has been created there; two wooden shelters ensure the horses can live comfortably and independently. The southern section is ideal for fruit trees (apple, pear, plum, cherry, fig and quince), whilst also providing privacy from the neighbourhood. The grounds around the manor have been laid out in the English style, with flowers and flowerbeds complementing the festive terraces created to the south and east. An avenue of lime trees completes this verdant setting, which is as refreshing as it is restful. A recently restored boundary wall ensures the necessary privacy and security on the village side. The property is free from any nuisance, benefiting from the protection zone associated with its proximity to a 12th-century building, listed as a historic monument. This protection imposes certain restrictions in the event of building works (requiring authorisation from Bâtiments de France). The entire property comprises a plot of 4.56 acres (1 ha 84 a 88 ca).

Réf.4545 : Near Argentan, a fine manor farm offering reception facilities and a table d’hôtes, for sale. In the winding roads of Suisse Normande, centuries have shaped an exceptional landscape dotted with remarkable residences, living witnesses to the ancient history of Normandy. From Argentan to the outskirts of Caen, Suisse Normande boasts an architectural and historical heritage that has been jealously preserved from the ravages of civilisation. As a result, numerous manor houses and châteaux have privatised protected natural areas, granting themselves undisturbed peace and serenity. This farmhouse-manor house is fully in keeping with this tradition of hospitality and conviviality, offering today an ideal setting for receiving guests, organising meals with locals and creating a characterful inn. An elegant outbuilding of the neighbouring castle, this dwelling displays all the characteristics of a fortified 'farm-manor house', whose numerous outbuildings mark the visceral attachment to the land that animated the lords who once lived here. The property benefits from a reassuring neighbourhood while retaining its much-appreciated privacy. Nature offers a breathtaking view free from any disturbances. Daily life is taken care of just a mile away (5 km), with the town of Argentan providing shopping, crafts, administrative and logistical services. Step into the authenticity of the Orne valleys, peaceful holiday destinations just two hours by train from the capital. Suisse Normande is a privileged corner of paradise... a secret that you should discover... and keep to yourself. The property has an imposing structure comprising 4 buildings arranged opposite each other to form a courtyard of honour. An arched porch joins two conical towers with archways. The buildings are large, built of stone with tiled roofs. The windows are of various sizes, in keeping with their respective functions. The defensive aspect is very marked, originally limiting openings to the outside. More recent alterations have made up for the risk of a lack of light. The property comprises a main building that has been converted into a dwelling, logistical outbuildings and areas reserved for animals. While the outbuilding directly adjoining the dwelling has retained its utilitarian character (garages, storeroom and attic), the building opposite has undergone a complete interior conversion (reception room, guest house, boiler room). The main dwelling, enriched by a terrace overlooking the horizon, exceptionally untouched by any nuisance, is a natural extension for outdoor lunches and dinners, in the heart of a listed site. With an interior surface area of around 280 sqm, the dwelling is distributed as follows: Ground floor: Tiled central entrance hall on the south side (9.45 sqm) giving access on the left to a vast paved lounge (64 sqm) with a dining area. Monumental contemporary fireplace. Exposed joists. (Ceiling height (HSP) 2.44 m) large bay windows opening onto the terrace, enhanced by a 'cathedral' space giving it a 'loft' feel. Rear access via a hallway leading to the tiled kitchen. Laundry room and WC set back. Kitchen with dining area (46 sqm), fitted under the sloping ceiling. Tiled floor. External exit. Rear access to a former one-car garage (4.40 x 3.20 m), converted into a workshop. 2.66 m high. Adjoining shed, accessed via an old paved fruit garden, with a second staircase leading down. Exterior exit via the gable. First floor: comfortable wooden 'meunier' stairway giving access to a vast 'cathedral' landing room with parquet flooring (57 sqm), with multiple uses (library/study/summer lounge). A stone staircase leads outside to the first floor of the adjoining outbuilding. Straight 'meunier' staircase leading to 2 mezzanine bedrooms linked by a footbridge. Access 1 to a shower room and separate WC. Bedroom 1 with parquet flooring (18 sqm). Lounge/music room with parquet flooring (30 sqm). Exposed timbers. Passageway 2 leads to a bathroom and separate WC. Bedroom 2 with parquet flooring (22 sqm). Exposed stone walls.

The rear terrace is a good size, with stone paving, allowing access from either the living room or the kitchen. There is a separate storage room with an upper floor, served by a wooden staircase. Outbuildings ; 1/ OUTBUILDING 1: set back from the main dwelling, long building comprising on the ground floor a large room (61 sqm) with hexagonal floor tiles; exposed joists; exposed stone walls. 2.50 m high. There is an old walled-in door leading into the lounge of the dwelling, thus creating interesting potential for extension. The first floor comprises a vast attic (61 sqm) with a wooden floor. The basement is a good height for conversion. This attic can be accessed via an outside stone stairway. It could be converted into a study/library/summer lounge in the dwelling. A neutral area with no easements or overlooking features has been transferred to the neighbouring property by the previous owners. The same applies to the watchtower adjoining the garages. The interweaving of the outbuildings with the neighbouring manor house made this allocation possible, without detracting from the spirit of the whole, and without generating any disturbing cohabitation. This is followed by 2 garages with elegant arched openings. 2/ OUTBUILDING 2: Adjoining the entrance porch, a beautiful watchtower with archery, a perfect copy of its neighbour... watching out for approaching visitors! The adjoining building remains the property of the château and is used as a garage. 3/ OUTBUILDING 3: a long building located opposite outbuilding no. 1, which has been refurbished inside, as follows: A large reception room with parquet flooring, 133 m² in size, with an overall height of around 9 m, equipped with 2 podiums. This room was designed as an auditorium and is used for numerous musical gatherings. Whitewashed walls. A small kitchen is attached. At the rear is the wood silo for the boiler. Garage for 1 car (concrete slab), with a small stairway leading to an attic. Boiler room to follow: wood chip boiler. There is an old De Dietrich boiler (out of order) and a plastic oil tank. Electric hot water tank. WC. 4/ THE GUEST HOUSE: converted in 1994 from what was probably staff accommodation, it has undergone a complete and meticulous renovation to accommodate friends or passing guests.

The property has retained its authenticity and benefits from a mixed view, thanks to its 'lantern' windows. The 4.94 acres plot is divided between a main courtyard and grasslands planted with a variety of fruit trees (apple, pear, mirabelle, plum, cherry and apricot). A vegetable garden is a reminder of the self-sufficient life of these manor farms... A beautiful pond of around 200 m² completes the setting, allowing a few wild ducks to nest peacefully in the shade of the protective ash trees. The surrounds are walled, and it is highly likely that the bottom is also paved. The grassland allow a few donkeys and horses to enjoy the generous anf abundant grass. A 9 x 3m wooden shelter provides shelter if needed, and stores essential hay. A kennel for dogs and chickens.... Good neighbourly relations could lead to additional adjoining grassland being made available. The immediate surroundings are flat, allowing the eye to wander over the wooded hills of the Orne valley, where civilisation has been forgotten, leaving the land to a rich and wild fauna. A characterful manor farm steeped in history, offering generous volumes, authenticity and an exceptional natural setting, ideally suited to a project as an inn, table d’hôtes or reception venue centred around dining, in the spirit of a warm and genuine welcome in a private home.
