Bayeux Sotheby’s International Realty presents for sale, at the gates of Bayeux, a city of art and history with its historic center, its cathedral, and its museums, this very pretty Manor from the 15th and 16th centuries, steeped in history, tradition says it was once the property of the canons of the Bayeux chapter. A vast rectangular courtyard enhanced by a pond highlighted by a horseshoe wall offers beautiful and interesting typical dependencies of the Bessin. The Renaissance entrance porch is particularly remarkable as are the high surrounding walls, especially one of them fitted with a bretèche from the 15th century (a protruding defensive element, supported by two sturdy corbels, topped with a roof and retaining its arrow slits). Moving closer to more contemporary history, shortly after the landing, this property served as accommodation for a military hospital. The main house is well detached from the rest of the buildings, it has a composite construction, its left part being the oldest. As you visit the different levels, you will enjoy discovering magnificent architectural elements, such as on the ground floor, you can find a 16th-century staircase, a living room adorned with a lovely French-style ceiling and a monumental stone fireplace, as well as an old stone floor, a dining room with a Napoleonic spirit featuring its parquet flooring, paneling, and molded ceiling. The first-floor bedrooms also present ancient elements: parquet flooring, fireplaces, and a coffered ceiling. The second level, reserved for guest accommodation, is of the 'Loft' type, with a more contemporary spirit, the cathedral ceilings providing volume to the whole. Adjacent to the main house, a guest house or cottage, with a living area of about 100m², offers three rooms including two bedrooms with old elements (parquet, marble fireplace, beams, and joists). As for the dependencies, they too have character, notably a large building composed of two beautiful cart sheds with their arched openings, completed by an old stable, stables, and a woodshed. Upstairs, you will be surprised to find a museum related to the Second World War. Opposite, on the other side of the enclosed courtyard, a charming L-shaped building has a surprising feature on the upper floor, a desecrated chapel with a mezzanine space; and in the return of the L, an old orangery used as a reception room of approximately 110m². The land is organized around a closed courtyard with a high defensive stone wall on the street side, and the old outbuildings, an English-style garden, and a small planted meadow. Located at the gates of Bayeux, this architectural ensemble is exceptional and rare, offering several possibilities, either as a family home as a primary or secondary residence, or for a mixed-use activity combining housing with reception and hosting services. A property to discover without delay.
