A 19th-century manor in around 5 hectares of grounds, 4 kilometres from Luc-sur-Mer and 20 minutes from Caen, in the heart of a lush valley. On the outskirts of a neighbourhood dominated by the bright shades of Caen stone, a lush, green track arrives at a wrought-iron gate. Beyond it, the private drive through the woods leads to a clearing tucked away from prying eyes. On one side, a foliage-covered, chalk cliff provides natural protection, while on the other a wood including hundred-year-old trees envelops the place in a peaceful atmosphere. In the centre, the garden is made up of several lawns, an orchard and grassy meadows spanning approximately 6 hectares. The late 19th-century residence, combining neo-Gothic and Anglo-Norman influences, stands on a slight outcrop. The three-storey main residence boasts a semi-underground garden level, a first floor and a converted attic. Its irregular L-shape gives it a picturesque silhouette. The steeply sloped slate roof combines dual-pitched Mansard, pavilion and conical roofs, punctuated by dormers and brick chimney stacks. The roof ridges are topped with decorative metal caps, sometimes arrow-shaped, underlining the building’s verticality. The façade combines light-coloured rendering with decorative half-timbering, in keeping with Anglo-Norman tradition. Tall mullioned and transom windows, a central oriel window and a wooden balcony punctuate the façade, while a semi-circular wooden patio overlooks the grounds. To the rear, a modern glazed extension, with a teak patio, blends into the edifice’s architecture, creating a subtle transition between old and modern. The grounds also play host to a covered swimming pool, a wooden pavilion and several landscaped paths, which lead from the house to the surrounding countryside, enhancing the manor’s romantic character.

The central dwelling is two storeys high and topped with three large chimneys. The slate roof is gabled and has two sculpted dormer windows. The building is connected to a round tower topped by a dovecote, which houses a spiral staircase. The façades are built out of granite rubble stone and are entirely lime pointed.

In the Upper Douro Valley, an 18th-century Baroque palace set in some 16 hectares of farmland. Some houses hold secrets. This one has kept one for two centuries: in 1813, a young noblewoman known as ‘the Dove’ leapt out of one of these windows at dawn to flee with a British officer. Her family launched an armed pursuit across the whole of Portugal. She never returned. These windows are still there. The Baroque palace, with a rectangular layout, covers some 1,475 m² of built area on 16 hectares of land in the Upper Douro, devoted to vineyards, olive groves and almond trees. Listed as a site of public interest since 1977, the building is in need of a restoration befitting its history.

An immense and stately Anglo-Norman dwelling from the 1930s, on 14-hectare grounds, thirty minutes west of Paris, near L'Isle-Adam. Commissioned in 1938 by Aristide Quillet, a publisher, mayor of the village and a major local donor, on the site of a former farm known as 'The Dwelling', the impressive manor house overlooks the countryside from its slightly elevated in position. Facing the grounds, with its meadows and woods, and enjoying unobstructed views of the valley, its Anglo-Norman architecture, understated and well proportioned, gracefully combines limestone, exposed timber framing and a multi-pitched roof. Quillet, who was so attached to this site that he invested a significant amount of his wealth in it, created a property that still reflects the careful attention he paid to striking a perfect balance between comfort and the surrounding natural setting. As for the three-storey main building, it is cadenced by protruding foreparts, balconies and patios facing the grounds, whereas its approximately 650 m² of floor area is divided into 15 rooms, 12 of which are bedrooms. Below, a caretaker’s cottage, stone garages and a swimming pool are located on the outskirts of a clearing, while the grounds, of approximately 14 hectares, alternates between open meadows, decorative trees and wooded areas, which provide structure for this bucolic setting.

A grand house steeped in history, nestled in the village of Ozouer-le-Voulgis in France’s Seine-et-Marne department, just 40 minutes from Paris by rail or road. The village of Ozouer-le-Voulgis has authentic character with traditional architecture in a lush backdrop. It offers shops for everyday needs. From a train station, six kilometres away, you can get to Paris is 40 minutes. The property lies opposite a 19th-century chateau. Vegetation and an outer wall give the property absolute privacy. Its elevations are coated with rendering and it is crowned with a hipped roof of tiles, which has just been entirely restored. The dwelling has kept its historical features. An entrance gate leads into a gravel court lined with trees, which creates a natural enclosure. The edifice faces north-east. Its grounds extend on its south side. Climbing ivy coats its walls. Louvred shutters painted green bring out the surrounding greenery. The old chateau has stood the test of time, yet it needs to be fully restored upstairs and requires structural works where two lintels lie. On the ground floor, the cement tiles of the hallway adjoin, on one side, the large lounge’s chevron parquet, mouldings and marble fireplace and, on the other side, a living room with a marble fireplace. This living room leads to an oval dining room with fine woodwork and a so-called Prussian fireplace – a fireplace built into the wall with an integrated plate-warming compartment – that bears witness to the French art of living that shaped this home. The kitchen lies in an extension that is more modern. A secondary corridor discreetly links it to the entrance hall. The reception rooms face south and are bathed in natural light. They offer an unrivalled view of the tree-dotted grounds. A majestic wooden staircase with a wrought-iron balustrade invites you to venture upstairs. The first floor offers, on one side, two bedrooms with a bathroom. And, on the other side, there is a private bathroom with a walk-in wardrobe and a utility room. This first floor continues the elegance of the ground floor with solid-wood strip flooring and marble fireplaces. The second floor has wood strip flooring and fireplaces. It offers five bedrooms and an office. The top floor has a rustic character and is waiting to be showcased with its exposed roof frame and terracotta floor tiles. This roof space is filled with natural light from dormers with oval windows that look down over the grounds.

A 16th-century manor with outbuildings, in 6 hectares of grounds in the south of the Mayenne area, in wooded countryside. A drive lined by trees and copses winds through the grounds of the estate to a courtyard. After several steps, the manor stands 30 metres below, on the hillside. It is built with lime rendered rubble stone and made up of two sections slightly offset from one another but linked by a staircase tower standing outside the main structures and topped by a pepper-pot roof. The edifice includes a garden level to the south, a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the attic level, beneath slate, gabled roofs. There are two mullion windows on the north facade, while the southern one boasts two buttresses as well as a roof punctuated by two wooden mullioned dormer windows framed by pilasters and topped by tuffeau stone triangular pediments. The manor has four bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom and lavatory. Two further bedrooms could be envisaged, also with en suite bathrooms and a sauna. In the past, the property was used for a bed and breakfast business. Opposite the residence, overlooking the paved courtyard, a restored outbuilding houses two very large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and lavatories, with the possibility of converting a further 90 m². To the east of the residence, a small building serves as a summer kitchen and a utility room. It opens onto a slate-paved courtyard which, in the summer, becomes an outdoor dining area beneath a pergola. To the south, there is a swimming pool with natural stone decking that is sheltered from the wind by small, old stone walls. In the shelter of the tall trees, the Quick pitch covering of the tennis court has recently been renovated. Above the main residence and converted outbuilding, a former barn is used as a woodstore and garage. Several cars can be parked on a secluded landscaped area. The 6 hectares of grounds have been harmoniously created. There is a wide variety of trees, some of which are planted in rows, as well as an orchard. Large meadows surround the rest of the property.
