private mansions for sale Manche, France

An elegant 16th and 18th-century private mansion, its outbuildings, courtyard and tree-filled garden, in Valognes on the Cotentin peninsula. Set back from the street, the property faces a wide courtyard, accessible via an impressive solid iron electric swing gate. As for the edifice, its front door is placed in the middle of its façade, whereas the former outbuildings, with their own entrances, are placed at right angles on either side of the courtyard. Behind, the dwelling’s western exterior faces a pleasant tree-filled garden, while, set within one of the property’s tall walls, wooden double doors provide a side entrance accessible from a tree-filled chase. Built in the late 16th century, when Valognes was torn between the partisans of the Holy League and the Carentan Protestants who were laying siege to the town, this stately private mansion is made up of a central main dwelling flanked by two right-angle wings that close off the cobblestone courtyard. To the southeast, an archway opens onto a small annexe courtyard where two outbuildings are located, one of which is crowned with a corbelled pepperpot tower, and, directly opposite, two arrow slits in one of the central building’s walls still bear witness to this chaotic period of upheaval. As for the dwelling’s initial appearance, it was altered in the 18th century in order to accommodate a noble family. Partially constructed out of rubble stone and topped with a hipped roof punctuated by three dormer windows, the dwelling is also built out of “Valognes” stone, a sandy limestone that is both easy to manipulate and includes a large quantity of fossils. On either side, the four-storey main building, including an attic level, is cadenced by many wide casement windows, whereas, on the garden side, they overlook an immense conservatory, which is used as a winter garden or a summer dining room. To the west, facing the garden and adjacent to the conservatory, a small masonry structure, topped with a single-pitch roof and one window, contains the house’s staircase, while, to the south, a patio provides breath-taking views of the city’s rooftops.

The Le Mengnonnet mansion is an authentic shipowner's mansion located on Rue Notre-Dame in Granville's Upper Town. Situated in the heart of the historic district overlooking the port, it features all the architectural and spatial characteristics of 17th- and 18th-century Granville shipowners' residences, built to assert the social status and maritime success of their owners. Its name refers to an old Granville family, several members of which were owners, shipowners, and active participants in municipal life in the 18th and 19th centuries. The architecture of the residence thus preserves the memory of this maritime activity and social position through its monumental, sober, and elegant design. Leaning against the ramparts and nestled in the dense fabric of the cobbled streets of the Upper Town, the mansion is distinguished by a gate and a large monumental grille opening onto a paved inner courtyard, an essential feature of shipowners' mansions. This arrangement allowed for the movement of horse-drawn carriages, loading operations, and the preservation of the privacy of the reception areas. The façade in local cut stone, the regular arrangement of tall windows, the quality of the stonework, and the steeply pitched slate roof, complemented by a glass roof, place the building firmly in the register of shipowners' mansions in the Upper Town. The residence also benefits from a dual orientation, overlooking Rue Notre-Dame and Rue Lecarpentier, overlooking the southern ramparts, with private access. INTERIOR LAYOUT CHARACTERISTIC OF A SHIPOWNER'S MANSION The interior retains a typical noble and hierarchical layout: - an entrance hall marking the transition between public and private spaces; - a staircase structuring vertical circulation; - large reception rooms with high ceilings, period fireplaces, wood paneling, and libraries; - social and leisure areas (lounges, billiard room, smoking room); - clearly identified service areas (kitchens, laundry rooms, cellars). These elements, which have been largely preserved, give the property a strong sense of authenticity. The mansion now has 11 bedrooms, including a monumental attic bedroom with exposed beams, a bathroom, and a dressing room, reminiscent of the spaciousness sought after in shipowners' residences. HERITAGE LISTING AND LOCATION The Upper Town of Granville is a major heritage site, combining ramparts, Notre-Dame Church, the Grand-Porte gate, and a succession of mansions that bear witness to the port's prosperity from the 16th to the 19th century. The Le Mengnonnet mansion is fully in keeping with this historical continuity. Overlooking the lower town and the port, the residence enjoys unobstructed views of the coastline, particularly the Carolles coast. The town center and train station are less than a 15-minute walk away. Granville has a direct connection to Paris (approximately 3.5 hours), while Caen and Rennes are an hour's drive away.
