private mansion for sale Granville, France

A 19th century ship-owner’s manor house with walled grounds, near Saint-Malo, close to the beaches and shops in Saint-Servan. The house stands at a crossroads of several streets. The main entrance, slightly set back from the street, is via an imposing wooden gate with a curved top, framed by granite pillars flanked with guard stones, opening into an inner courtyard. The garden is tucked away behind high stone walls that enclose the rear of the property. It originally had a larger garden. The house, which has remained in the same family since its construction, was built at the beginning of the 18th century for a seafaring family of the Compagnie des Indes, with links to Isle de France, now known as Mauritius. The south-facing edifice has three storeys one of which is in the attic space. The main façade has three vertical rows of openings. The elevations are made of rough-hewn blocks of granite, while the window and door frames are made of dressed granite blocks. The slate hipped roof has three dormer windows topped with pediments and is flanked at each end by two tall chimney stacks, while two smaller chimney stacks stand in the centre. The roof guttering is inserted in a wooden cornice. To the rear, a semi-circular conservatory is topped by a slate roof. To the southeast, at a right angle to the main building and standing against a neighbouring edifice, there is a brick and rubble stone outbuilding topped with a slate roof. Part of it is used for storage and another part has been converted into living space.

An almost 300 m² bourgeois residence, close to a small town in the south of the Manche department and the Mortainais region. The late 19th century house stands behind a low granite wall, crowned by a wrought iron gate. The property is accessed via a double gate with three towering granite pillars. The masonry is high quality, in yellow granite cut into regular rubble stone courses, as well as Vire blue granite for the quoins, window surrounds, string courses and balconies on the south façade. The other façades feature the same yellow granite, but the surrounds and quoins are brick. All of the joinery is recent. Behind the front garden, the house is rectangular shaped and flanked by a half-timbered tower. The gable roof is made of slate, topped with two tall chimneys and adorned with a dormer window to the south. The tower has a four sloped roof, with a dormer window to the south. The house has four levels: a basement, a raised garden level, a first floor and an attic. The tower has an extra floor. To the north, a veranda opens onto the garden and outbuildings. A jacuzzi is hidden behind it. Set back on the garden side, but visible from the gate, a single-storey conservatory features the same combination of granite and brick as the house's side and back façades. Opposite the veranda there is a summer kitchen with a slate roof, a pizza oven and a bar. There are four covered parking spaces behind the outbuildings, two of which are covered, and a garden shed.

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.
