Ref.4857 : Authentic 19th-c. manor house, restored with outbuildings and parkland in southern Manche, Normandy Situated at the junction of three historic regions in western France, in the heart of a small town in the south of the Manche department, where commercial activity still shapes daily life, this manor house is set within an old townscape where stone façades line the streets and bear witness to a prosperous past. Sheltered from the hustle and bustle, the property enjoys an environment that is both lively and peaceful, where everything is within walking distance: shops, schools and amenities. The towns of Avranches and Fougères are about thirty minutes away, whilst Rennes, around an hour away, provides access to fast rail links to Paris. The nearby Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel offers an exceptional maritime, heritage and tourist experience. Behind a stone façade with evenly spaced windows, the house offers approximately 350 sqm of living space spread over three floors, comprising 15 main rooms, including 8 bedrooms. The property charms with its original period features and the quality of its spacious rooms. Ground floor: Through the front door, a few steps lead to this raised ground floor, flooding the level with light. The eye is immediately drawn to the depth of the views and the clear layout. Opposite, the main living room, with its open-plan layout, offers a warm atmosphere. The original parquet flooring, weathered by time, complements the subtle mouldings and a beautifully crafted fireplace, around which the room naturally centres The dining room, extending from this space, has a more intimate atmosphere, perfect for leisurely meals. Here too, the original features – parquet flooring, fireplace, balanced proportions – contribute to a sense of harmony. The separate kitchen, adjoining the dining room, follows a traditional layout, with a separate external access for service. To the left of the entrance, a small sitting room and study complete this level. First floor: The staircase, accessible from the entrance hall, leads to a landing giving access to four bedrooms of similar size. The rooms retain a peaceful atmosphere, with wooden floors, a fireplace, original mouldings and decorative features, as well as a pleasing sense of balance in their proportions. The light is soft, filtered through the vertical windows characteristic of the period. Two bathrooms, a shower room and three toilets complete this level. Second floor: Continuing on from the first floor, this level features four additional bedrooms, laid out in the same way as the floor below, bringing the total to eight bedrooms. The layout remains faithful to the original, offering a clear and fluid layout. Two shower rooms, one bathroom and three toilets complete this level. Basement: On the lower ground floor, it houses the laundry room, the utility rooms and the geothermal heating system, as well as various cellars and storage areas. Outbuildings : A garage near the street entrance provides parking for three vehicles. It is situated discreetly, yet close to the manor house. A wooden building, formerly Marin-Marie’s workshop, located at the rear of the manor house, is in need of complete renovation. Land : At the rear, the garden is sheltered from view, offering an unexpected haven of tranquillity in the heart of the city. The layout is simple and balanced, allowing for freely arranged vegetation. This discreet and secluded outdoor space forms a natural extension of the house and contributes fully to its appeal. Beyond it, a meadow of around 5 acres (2 hectares) offers a glimpse of the Normandy countryside.
