luxury property with terrace for sale Cherbourg-Octeville, France

In the heart of Valognes, Normandie Privilège presents an 18th-century townhouse listed as a Historic Monument. This elegant residence has undergone an exemplary restoration carried out over nearly ten years. Each intervention was undertaken with scrupulous respect for the architectural language of the Age of Enlightenment, restoring the building's original balance and the refinement of its decorative features. The interior retains its original layout, with generous reception rooms on the ground floor and more intimate quarters above. This arrangement allows for a potential mixed residential and professional use, should one wish, without compromising the harmony of the property. The layout is as follows: On the ground floor, a through entrance hall leads to the reception rooms. The grand corner salon (approximately 400 sq ft), conceived in the manner of a gallery, features hardwood floors, paneled walls, and a fireplace in particularly elegant proportions. A 215 sq ft study, paved in Valognes stone and appointed with wood paneling and a fireplace, provides a distinguished working environment. A smaller sitting room and a storage room complete this level. The staircase, itself listed as a Historic Monument, is one of the residence's defining features: built in Valognes stone, it is enhanced by a finely crafted wrought-iron balustrade. The first floor accommodates everyday living, with a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, and a library-sitting room. A bedroom and a bathroom are also located on this level. The second floor comprises three bedrooms and a shower room. An attic above offers additional conversion potential. The property stands over a full basement including four vaulted cellars, one of which houses the boiler room. Throughout, numerous original features have been preserved: stone flagging, hardwood floors, wood paneling, and fireplaces. Contemporary amenities — including the kitchen and bathrooms — have been designed in a spirit respectful of the 18th century. To the rear, accessed by a double-return staircase, a formal French garden extends the perspective and provides an ordered green setting in harmony with the façade. An additional parcel including a garden and a double garage may be acquired separately. A virtual 3D tour is available on request --- The price of this property is €895,000.
