Ref 4941: Charming manor house and estate for sale in Calvados
In the Bessin, a small country road leads to this property set in the heart of the bocage, about ten minutes from Bayeux and Port-en-Bessin. With no immediate neighbours, the estate enjoys particularly peaceful surroundings, ideal for family life as well as for hosting receptions.
Bayeux offers shops, services and a railway station. Its cathedral, its famous tapestry and the nearby D-Day landing beaches make this part of Calvados a popular destination. The coastline, the picturesque harbour of Port-en-Bessin and the unspoilt landscapes of the Bessin offer visitors a wealth of places to discover.
At the end of an avenue lined with chestnut trees, the estate unfolds around a landscaped courtyard enclosed by its buildings.
The 17th-century manor house, the country house and the former outbuildings form a stone ensemble beneath slate roofs. The verticality of the manor house, emphasised by a tall carved dormer, answers the lower lines of the wings that flank it. Dressed-stone surrounds, chimneys and steep roofs give the courtyard a truly distinctive presence.
The property combines a 255 sqm residence, reception areas and several guest accommodations, for a total surface area of about 1400 sqm, including the spaces dedicated to hospitality.
The layout preserves the owners’ privacy while bringing together, in the professional area, all the main facilities required for an events business.
A - THE MANOR HOUSE AND RECEPTION AREAS
The ground floor opens onto an entrance hall with a stone staircase. To the right, the large reception hall extends over about 345 sqm. Its open volume, its height up to the roof and its large openings allow a wide range of layouts, with seating for about 250 guests. An adjoining professional kitchen of about 65 sqm, fitted with cold rooms, completes this space.
To the left of the entrance, a sitting room with a fireplace leads to a second reception room of about 80 sqm. Set in the former press house, it retains the press mechanism, its exposed beams and a parquet floor. This more intimate room can seat about 50 guests.
On the upper floors, the main stone staircase leads to five bedrooms, each with its own shower room. Stone walls, beams and historic volumes give these guest rooms their character. A second staircase leads to the dormitory set beneath the roof timbers, which sleeps about 25 people.
B - THE COUNTRY HOUSE
Separate from the professional areas, the country house offers about 255 sqm of living space and preserves its occupants’ privacy. It was fully restored in 2021, combining contemporary fittings with the original features that have been retained, including exposed beams and the fireplace.
On the ground floor, the entrance hall with a guest toilet leads to a sitting room with a fireplace and a large living room with an open kitchen. The wide bay windows of the living room open onto the garden and bring in generous light.
The upper floors house an apartment with a sitting room, a kitchen, three bedrooms, a study, a bathroom and a shower room.
C - THE ADJOINING EXTENSION
An adjoining extension of about 150 sqm houses a gym, a heated swimming pool, a shower and toilets.
Extensively glazed, this relaxation area enjoys views over the garden.
THE OUTBUILDINGS
The secondary buildings are part of the composition of the courtyard and extend the estate’s accommodation and service functions.
A/ The self-contained cottage
Above the professional kitchen, a three-room apartment of about 65 sqm has its own separate entrance.
It comprises a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room.
B/ Linking and service areas
Between the manor house and the country house, the linking buildings house a ground-floor bedroom with its own shower room, designed for guests with reduced mobility, a boiler room and a garage.
The property is classified as a Category 3 public-access establishment (ERP) and fully complies with current regulations for event hosting, accommodation and catering.
LAND
The estate extends over 7.49 acres. The chestnut avenue leads to the main courtyard. In front of the country house and its extension, an ornamental garden extends the owners’ living spaces.
A vast lawn is laid out for outdoor receptions. A bandstand and marquees can accommodate about 200 guests. A wrought-iron gazebo punctuates the views across the garden, while a small wood offers a shady walk. A meadow completes the grounds.
Parking areas at the entrance to the estate can accommodate around one hundred vehicles.
