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.

The property can be reached from a small country road, along a no-through lane. The manor is a former rural and manorial complex whose origins date back to the 15th century. It is listed as part of France’s general cultural heritage and is set around a courtyard opening out onto a landscape of meadows and hedgerows. The property includes a main residence altered in the 18th century, a longhouse with a large reception room, as well as several outbuildings. The stone buildings, which are made of shale rubble stone and mainly topped with slate roofs, boast several features typical of Brittany’s architecture, such as a square staircase tower topped by a pavilion roof, ashlar surrounds on the openings and still visible rural volumes. Next to the manor, there are two wells, one of which is fitted with a submersible pump. The land is mainly made up of meadows, some of which are bordered by pastureland fences. A stream crosses through the centre of the property and runs below the patio of the longhouse, which dominates the surrounding countryside.

A 17th & 18th century manor house, outbuildings and parkland, set in almost 2 hectares of land near Azay-le-Rideau, in Touraine. At the end of the village, a lane winds through the countryside to the property entrance. A wrought-iron gate, supported by two tufa stone pillars, opens onto a driveway that crosses the parkland in front of the residence and leads on to the outbuildings. Originally a simple hunting lodge, the dwelling was probably built in the 17th century, then extended in the 18th century and later. It is in an asymmetrical shape and is oriented east-west. The main west-facing façade features tufa-framed windows with cornices under the roof and a stringcourse over a tower wing. The carved wooden entrance door on the central section is off-centre. To the east, French windows lead from a grass terrace into the house. The slate roofs are adorned with zinc finials. The central double body, with a single storey under the eaves, is topped by a small square tower and flanked to the north by a rectangular tower lodge, also two storeys’ high under the eaves, and a single-storey building to the south. The rendered stone façades, with tufa stone quoins, have various sized windows, with small or large panes and tufa stone surrounds. The slate roofs have triangular pediment dormers in the central section. The interiors still have some of the old features, such as parquet flooring and tufa stone fireplaces in the reception rooms. The six bedrooms are spread over the three floors of the house. Extensive wooded parkland surrounds the manor house, covering almost 2 hectares, with terraces, gardens and undergrowth. There are also rock cellars, a swimming pool in need of renovation and three outbuildings on the estate.

The property’s garden extends beyond the buildings, which it links together with paved paths, some of which are shaded. This magnificent outdoor space offers striking views.

A 15th-century manor with reception rooms, 10 minutes from beaches on the Côte de Goëlo coast in northern Brittany. The property is nestled a few hundred metres from the local village in a bucolic backdrop. A solid grey gate of wrought iron leads into the grounds. It is framed between two granite pillars, one of which has an outdoor lamp fixed to it. On either side, a low wall and tall hedges give the property absolute privacy. The manor and its outhouses form a U shape. On the grounds, which cover almost one hectare, several spaces can be distinguished: there is an ornamental, tree-dotted garden embellished with flowers on the west side, a south-facing courtyard, and a car park on the east side. An annexe houses a covered swimming pool that looks out at the ornamental garden. And an events venue with a wooden floor adjoins an outhouse to form a large reception space. You enter the manor from a short driveway that leads from the wrought-iron gate. The edifice dates back to the 15th century, as a door surround upstairs and a spiral staircase indicate.

As for the estate, it also includes several annexe buildings, grouped together like a small hamlet, while the local stone walls, in a palette of white, yellow and pink, help structure the whole by sectioning off the various spaces, buttressing the large patio, demarcating the different entrances and encircling the ponds.

A Belle Epoque villa, with grounds, a swimming pool, outbuildings and a view of the village perched on the hill, at the foot of a royal fortified town in the Lot-et-Garonne area. From the country road and just a few minutes from all essential amenities, a private, 300-metre-long drive forms a lengthy spiral around the property from the north, lined by woods and tall trees, up to the property’s gate, from where the eastern façade of the elegant, late-19th century residence looms into view between the trees and shrubs in the garden. After the entrance gate, the gravelled drive widens before the stoop, allowing visitors to disembark from their vehicles, before continuing to the garages several metres further on. The approximately 350-m² villa stands out thanks to its balanced proportions and immaculate architecture, that of a bourgeois residence, in which the façades are punctuated by regular rows of windows and discrete decorative elements, revealing a carefully thought-out construction. It is made up of a vast kitchen, a lounge, a dining room, six bedrooms and four shower rooms, as well as several service rooms. It pays witness to Belle Epoque period architecture, with its brick and stone, light-coloured rendered walls, inspired by spa town edifices. The large and perfectly aligned windows are fitted with wooden, louvred shutters painted in a warm brown hue that combines well with the decorative details in brick. The gable end is dotted with decorative oculi while the gabled roof is topped by finely crafted ridge cap, giving the building a silhouette that stands out in the Lot-et-Garonne landscape, in the midst of 2.5-hectare grounds boasting tall cedars, oak and ash trees as well as flowering shrubs, in an orderly and harmonious whole. To the south of the house, the stone and wooden outbuildings are made up of a garage, a barn and stables with a riding area.

A gravel area skirts the building and provides parking for several vehicles, while, not far off, an elongated outbuilding faces a well with its wheel. In addition, to the south, the grounds contain a swimming pool and its machine room, whereas several Medici vases mark the entrance to this impressive dwelling. Constructed entirely over a basement level, the three-storey manor’s exteriors feature a polychrome brick and stone composition, cadenced by many large-paned windows topped with stone lintels, while two balconies provide eye-catching architectural elements for its main façade: the first showcases the manor’s front door and is extended by a stone staircase, safeguarded by an ornate bannister with a scroll pattern, the motif of which is then repeated on the upper balcony’s guardrails. With brick and stone quoins and window/door surrounds, the dwelling also boasts a tower, highlighting the edifice’s verticality, which has preserved its brick quoins as well as its horizontal stringcourses indicating its different floors.

A small country road skirts the property’s tall stone walls, followed by its initial outbuildings before reaching its gate, which faces a wide tree-lined lane that extends between fields and farm tracks. At the property’s gate, a stone wall opens onto a wide courtyard, planted in the middle with two impressive Chinese mulberry trees, while, the manor, visible in the background, is flanked by its outbuildings on either side. Dating from the 18th century, the property was originally a wine-growing estate, while the two-storey manor, built in the Directoire style out of local stone, embodies traditional architecture, specific to the region. With an inhabitable floor area of approximately 435 m², the dwelling consists of a long central structure – the main façade of which is cadenced by doors and small-paned windows – flanked on either side by two adjacent lower extensions and topped with a slate roof, which is, in turn, crowned with zinc ornamental décor and finials. As for the back of the house, although different from the front, it still combines the elegance of the dwelling's symmetrical rectilinear windows and shed dormers with, in the middle, a unique triangular pediment, which adds a touch or originality to the whole. In addition, vaulted cellars extend under the entire building, while, to one side, a completely independent five-room caretaker’s cottage abuts a large courtyard, former stables and agricultural storage buildings, which are also accessible from the small country road via a second gate, providing an independent and more inconspicuous entrance. Moreover, the property also includes, on the other side of the front courtyard, another outbuilding, which is currently used as a holiday cottage with a capacity of 6 to 8 people. With a grass-covered, shady interior courtyard, this building has its own private entrance via a separate gate and faces a former wine warehouse, today reconverted into a reception hall with hardwood floors.
