Just fifteen minutes from Bayeux, on the edge of the Balleroy State Forest, Normandie Privilège presents a beautifully restored 18th-century manor house with its collection of period outbuildings, set on more than 2.6 acres crossed by a river. Among its most distinctive features is a former blacksmith's forge that has been transformed into a private leisure pavilion with a heated indoor swimming pool.
Built of local schist stone, the manor offers approximately 5,435 square feet of living space, including a main residence and a self-contained guest apartment. The interiors are remarkable for their generous proportions, with nearly 1,290 square feet of reception rooms, a 750-square-foot professional kitchen, and a 366-square-foot ground-floor bedroom suite. The restrained, symmetrical façade overlooks the courtyard on one side and the gardens on the other.
The main residence includes an entrance hall, a double reception room, a game room, a fully equipped kitchen, a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a laundry room, a wine cellar, and utility rooms. Upstairs are a spacious primary suite with a dressing room and private bathroom, two additional bedrooms, and a second bathroom. The top floor accommodates another bedroom, a home office, a fitness room, and an additional bathroom.
The guest apartment has its own private entrance and features a spacious open-plan living area with kitchen, a double bedroom, a dressing room, and a bathroom. Internal connections allow it to function either independently or as an extension of the main residence.
Completed in 2022, the restoration preserves many original architectural features, including terracotta tile floors, the original staircase, period doors, and fireplaces, while incorporating modern amenities throughout. The professional kitchen is centered around a Lacanche range, one bathroom is finished in traditional tadelakt plaster, and several custom-designed fittings reflect a restrained contemporary aesthetic. Heating is provided by a De Dietrich gas-fired condensing boiler, complemented by a pellet stove in the living room. Four fireplaces remain, two of which are operational. Most of the wooden double-glazed windows, along with the aluminum picture window in the living room, were replaced within the past five years.
The outbuildings include a former village grocery store, a traditional Norman longhouse converted into an artist's studio and showroom, a workshop garage, and the former forge. The latter now houses an 8-by-3-meter heated indoor swimming pool, together with a bar, showers, and restroom facilities.
Behind the manor, two terraces extend the reception rooms into landscaped gardens bordered by the river. A koi pond and a centuries-old yew tree contribute to the property's distinctive atmosphere, while a wooden footbridge crosses the water to a meadow on the opposite bank.
The property is connected to the public sewer system and is equipped with a remote-controlled entrance gate, a Verisure security system, exterior lighting, high-speed fiber-optic internet with satellite backup, and a Sonos audio system throughout the manor.
With an Energy Performance Certificate rated Class C (June 2026), the property combines the character of an 18th-century estate with the comfort and technical standards expected of a modern home. Located less than thirty minutes from the D-Day beaches and the Normandy coast, it is equally well suited as a distinguished private residence or a boutique hospitality venture.
