18th-Century Manor House 7-Hectare Estate Argentan (61)
Just 4 km from Argentan, in the heart of the Orne department, this late 18th-century manor house embodies the French art of living in all its nobility. Inspired by the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles, it captivates at first sight with the purity of its classical architecture: a rendered façade in warm golden tones, a bell turret and clock set in the pediment. Two majestic walnut trees stand sentinel at the entrance, heralding the exceptional character of the property.
Spanning approximately 420 m² of living space across three levels, the house unfolds in a U-shape around a central body crowned by its bell turret, flanked by two lower wings a harmonious composition that evokes the architecture of the great Norman country houses of the 18th century. The through-rooms, with their dual east/west aspect, flood the interior with remarkable natural light. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a reception room, a study, a kitchen and a large back kitchen. An independent wing, currently fitted as a self-contained apartment, offers numerous possibilities. The first floor provides four bedrooms and two bathrooms; the second, three further mansard bedrooms.
Throughout, the period features have been carefully preserved: fireplaces including a remarkable carved marble mantelpiece, traditional terracotta floor tiles, cabochon stone flooring, herringbone parquet, and ceilings with exposed timber framing. An elegant turning staircase in solid wood and wrought iron, with a sculpted volute, serves all three levels with grace.
The estate extends over more than 7 hectares: a landscaped parkland, 5 hectares of meadows currently leased, and 1.2 hectares of woodland. A fine ensemble of stone outbuildings a remarkable barn, a stable with two boxes, a vaulted cellar completes an independent caretaker's cottage, currently tenanted. Open views over the paddocks of the neighbouring stud farm, and the immediate proximity of the Gouffern forest: peace and tranquillity are assured.
