An old manor house in a verdant setting

On the outskirts of Bayeux, a vibrant city of art and history, lies a rare architectural gem.

This 288 sq m (3,000 sq ft) 15th-century manor house, steeped in history, unfolds its charms on a magnificent property of over one hectare (2.5 acres).

From the moment you arrive, the tone is set: beyond the remarkable entrance gate, a vast courtyard reveals splendid outdoor spaces comprising a pond, expansive green lawns, authentic outbuildings, and a meadow. All of this is enclosed by high stone walls, testaments to the site’s past.

The main house, with its 288 sq m (3,000 sq ft) of living space, stands proudly apart from the outbuildings, immediately captivating with its elegant and authentic architecture.

The entrance opens onto a majestic dining room that asserts its character through its original parquet floors, refined wood paneling, and graphic moldings; the perfect setting for warm family dinners. Extending from the living room, a monumental stone fireplace awaits, promising cozy evenings spent reading by the fire.
At the other end, the spacious eat-in kitchen boasts a magnificent high ceiling, perfectly complementing the elegance of the space.
The first floor continues this classic refinement with four spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and enhanced by antique parquet floors and period fireplaces.
The top floor offers a striking architectural surprise: a completely redesigned open-plan space in the style of a contemporary loft, cleverly divided into two distinct areas.
Here, cathedral ceilings create airy volumes and abundant natural light, resulting in a striking and highly appealing contrast with the classicism of the lower floors.

The estate offers exceptional creative and professional potential thanks to its numerous outbuildings. Adjoining the main house, the former gatekeeper’s cottage, approximately 100 sq m, ideal for a gîte, offers three characterful rooms ripe for renovation.

A large outbuilding houses a former cowshed, old stables, and, upstairs, a space configured as a veritable museum dedicated to the Second World War.
Facing the courtyard, one can discover a former orangery of approximately 110 sq m, partially converted into a reception hall and topped by a deconsecrated chapel with a mezzanine ? a unique setting for the most ambitious projects.
The grounds seamlessly alternate between different atmospheres: the graphic rigor of the enclosed courtyard and its defensive walls gives way to the poetry of a bucolic English garden, extending into a small planted meadow.
Whether for a spectacular family home, a prestigious bed and breakfast project, or an exceptional event venue, this estate transcends the boundaries between eras. Distances:
