Ref 4811: Beautiful 18th-century property with garden and outbuildings for sale in Normandy Set on the edge of lush, wooded countryside, in the heart of a rural village of some 700 inhabitants, this elegant noble dwelling exudes an understated and refined atmosphere, a perfect testament to the rich heritage bequeathed to us by the ‘Grand Siècle’. Discreetly situated at a bend in a quiet country lane, sheltered by its high walls, the property displays a refined, intimate style from the moment you pass through the gate, inviting you to create beautiful family memories. A stone’s throw from the GOUFFERN national forest, there is no doubt about the quality of the surroundings and the many activities on offer. These surroundings exude the well-being and gentle way of life that is ‘made in Normandy’. Thanks to its ideal location—rural yet close to civilisation—this property enjoys all the amenities, shops and services of a town of 14,000 inhabitants, with daily errands providing the perfect opportunity for a pleasant, active stroll on foot or by bicycle… Just 2.5 hours from the capital, this elegant property offers the perfect balance, whether as a main residence, a second home or simply a holiday retreat. In the purest 18th-century tradition, this property features a stone main building, topped with a tiled roof, built over three storeys. The façade displays perfect symmetry in its windows and doors, with its refinement evident in the two dormer windows and chimneys on the roof – elegant additions if ever there were any. The east wing of the property comprises a charming pavilion, perfectly in keeping with the main building but of a lower height, an ideal annexe converted into a living space that prioritises peace and tranquillity. The west wing consists of a beautiful outbuilding, serving as a garage, storage room, laundry room and wood store. The whole property showcases a welcoming and perfectly secure main courtyard. With a living area of approximately 290 sqm, the main building is laid out as follows: On the ground floor, a central, tiled entrance hall of approximately 10 sqm leads, on the left, to a kitchen with a dining area, also tiled, measuring 20 sqm, featuring a stone fireplace and ample storage space. The ceiling height of approximately 3 metres gives the whole space a wonderful sense of volume. To the right, a vast tiled living room of 93 sqm, also featuring a stone fireplace, offers a particularly generous reception area. The walls are adorned with tapestries. At the end of the hallway are a shower room and a toilet. A beautifully crafted wooden staircase with balusters leads to the first floor. Access to a large, partially finished cellar of 90 sqm, used as a boiler room, storage area and wine cellar. External access via the east gable.

A 16 sqm bedroom (bedroom 6), also with parquet flooring, extended by a 12 sqm additional room (bedroom 7), ideal for a children’s play area, a study or a guest bedroom. The property comprises two outbuildings, situated on either side of the main house, and a garden shed for storage: A/ Large outbuilding: situated to the west. Built of stone, with a tiled roof. Room used as a storage area on the left-hand side. Garage (5.20 x 5.35m) – terracotta tile floor – Door height: 2.83m. Small storage room, fitted with a sink – utility room.

Adjoining a shower room with a toilet. The grounds are harmoniously divided into two plots, situated to the north and south of the main house. The southern section, covering 1,380 sqm, forms the main courtyard, punctuated by two tall stone entrance pillars and high gates of simple, understated elegance. A magnificent ancient oak tree provides protective shade, whilst flowers and lawns add colour to the surroundings of the house. The northern section, covering 1,700 sqm, forms the garden and, for the most part, the family living area, sheltered from view and ensuring optimal safety, whether for children… or pets. The north façade is identical to the south one, featuring a small terrace. The grounds are flat, grassed and wooded. A kennel is situated on the east gable. It would also be perfectly suited to a few chickens or rabbits… A charming oratory, with a hipped roof, stands at the far end of the grounds. It was recently built by the current owners. It offers a beautiful view and invites meditation, or more certainly… prayer. High stone walls (2.50m), in good condition, completely surround the property. An additional plot of land (530 sqm) is situated to the south, beyond the village road. This plot is also enclosed by walls and gates, preventing any unauthorised entry. A few fruit trees remain there; it is likely that this was once a vegetable garden. Today, it makes for a wonderful play area, which the imagination of the youngest residents will surely make their own… The entire property comprises a plot of 36 ares and 10 centiares.
