private mansions for sale Valognes, France

17th-century private hotel and its enclosed garden, in the heart of the city. Just steps from the city center, the Hôtel Pacquet de Beauvais was built around 1650. Organized around a central body framed by two wings, it opens onto a gravel courtyard closed off from the street by a monumental gate. Throughout its history, the building notably served as the residence of several judicial officers, and then of Rear Admiral Jacques Félix Emmanuel Hamelin, known as Lhermitte (1766-1826), before housing the sub-prefecture of Coutances from 1802 to 1830. The slate roof crowns the entire set of buildings. The stone facades, pierced with tall windows featuring small panes equipped with shutters, are topped with slate roofs and punctuated by gabled skylights. A trained wisteria accompanies the elevations and highlights the main entrance, accessible by a few stone steps. With a living area of approximately 285 m² spread over two main levels, the dwelling includes several reception rooms, an office, and five bedrooms. Part of the floors, stairs, and original woodwork have been preserved. The 17th-century ceramic tile floors are also among the remarkable old elements of the house. At the back, an enclosed garden of about 600 m² extends the property to the north. Vast vaulted cellars, attics, and various outbuildings are accessible there.This description has been automatically translated from French.

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.
