manor for sale Arques-la-Bataille, France

Located in a charming village in the Pays de Caux, between Rouen and Dieppe, this estate stands on the historic grounds of an 11th-century Benedictine abbey. This singular manor was originally crafted from an 18th-century conventual building. At the beginning of the 20th century, a whimsical spirits merchant commissioned the renowned architect Henri Jacquelin to design a monumental extension. The result is a striking blend of Neo-Norman and Neo-Gothic styles, incorporating numerous authentic historical elements. Spanning 546 m², the manor’s original wing features an entrance hall and an 80 m² reception room with a dedicated service corridor. On the opposite side of the lobby lies the 105 m² ballroom, anchored at its end by a circular lounge with a vaulted ceiling. Running alongside the ballroom are a professional kitchen, a scullery, and a pantry. The first floor features a corridor leading to four bedrooms—two of which have private shower rooms—and a separate bathroom. On an intermediate level, the billiard room opens onto a spiral staircase that leads to the tower bedroom and its ensuite shower room. The manor includes two basements: one dedicated to technical facilities (boiler room and workshop), and a second accessible from the kitchen, equipped with a cold storage room. Outside, the park of over 2 hectares (approx. 5 acres) is accessible via two entrances. The first leads to a parking area concealed from the main house, while the second, more picturesque entrance passes through the ramparts. Integrated into these walls is a gatekeeper's cottage which, after a full renovation, could serve as a secondary guest house. Continuing from this outbuilding is a registered covered storage area. The partially enclosed parkland was designed in the English landscape style. It offers pleasant walks where one can discover the remaining vestiges of the original abbey. At the edge of the estate sits the medieval "motte-and-bailey," the final witness to the site’s feudal history. Ideally situated between Rouen and Dieppe, this exceptional property offers easy access to Paris, Deauville, Lille, and Belgium. Price including agency fees: €780,000 Agency fees to be paid by the seller.

Situated in a typical village on the edge of the Eu Forest—at the crossroads of Normandy and the Bay of Somme—this property has been part of local history since the 18th century. A fine example of Normandy’s architectural heritage, the estate blends the elegance of traditional brickwork with the comfort of contemporary renovations. The entrance gate opens onto the outbuildings, while the manor’s façade is revealed further back, screened by a curtain of trees. The ground floor of the manor features an entrance hall, a main living room with an office area, a second living and dining room, a fully fitted kitchen, and a laundry room. The first floor is arranged around a landing leading to four bedrooms, a dressing room, and two shower rooms. The top level offers a spacious attic area with conversion potential. The grounds, spanning approximately one hectare, include an orchard, a heated 10x4-meter swimming pool, and a dedicated pétanque court. The fully renovated outbuildings—totaling around 340 m²—offer a turnkey tourism business ready for immediate operation, located just five minutes from local shops and ten minutes from the beaches. The first building houses three independent holiday cottages (gîtes) with capacities of 4, 6, and 12 people. The second building contains a cottage for two, a breakfast room with a fitted kitchen, a workshop, and a garage. Strategically set back and visually screened from the manor by vegetation, these structures ensure complete privacy for the main residence, making it ideal for maintaining a family life separate from the commercial activity. Ideally located just 2.5 hours from Paris and 1.5 hours from Beauvais-Tillé Airport, this prime property in the heart of the Normandy-Picardy coast benefits from the area's major tourist appeal, driven by the enduring popularity of the Bay of Somme and the Normandy coast among visitors from the Paris region and abroad. Agency fees payable by the seller.
