Anglo-Norman manor house to renovate, set in a park with numerous outbuildings

In the heart of the sought-after village of Saint-Jean-du-Cardonnay, this Anglo-Norman style residence enjoys an exceptional location, on the edge of the vibrant city of Rouen and the bucolic serenity of the Normandy countryside.

A true sanctuary of tranquility, the property is nestled within a verdant setting of century-old trees, offering a living environment of rare elegance, shielded from prying eyes. Here, prestige is expressed through silence and the perfect harmony between distinctive architecture and majestic nature.

Built in the 19th century in a village with preserved charm, this characterful property offers a generous 422 m² of living space, spread over three levels. A true “sleeping beauty” with irresistible charm, it awaits only a passionate renovation to transform it into an extraordinary family paradise.

To help you visualize the full potential of this property, some rooms have been meticulously designed virtually.

From the moment you enter the hall, the tone is set by the elegant, natural feel of the travertine floor, a true unifying element between the different wings of the house.

The reception wing opens onto an intimate 22 sq m living room, where the warmth of herringbone parquet flooring complements the character of a brick fireplace. Beyond this lies the centerpiece: a 55 sq m reception room with windows on both sides. A veritable belvedere overlooking the park, this space is punctuated by numerous windows that capture the light and offer a series of natural views of the surrounding vegetation. A period fireplace takes pride of place, promising winter evenings of rare serenity.

The opposite wing, dedicated to socializing, reveals a characterful dining room with a patinated floor, opening seamlessly onto the kitchen area. A plush library completes this level, offering a serene retreat for work or reading. For your guests’ comfort, an elegant cloakroom with guest amenities discreetly complements this ground-floor reception area.

The first floor reveals an exceptional, light-filled Master Suite. A true sanctuary of well-being, its private bathroom invites contemplation: the bathtub offers a breathtaking and spectacular view of the park’s canopy, transforming every moment into a timeless interlude. A spacious, separate dressing room completes this master suite.

The landing also leads to two distinctive bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and the other with a bathroom, as well as a cozy office. A fourth suite, dedicated to guests with its own private bathroom, guarantees your guests complete privacy and top-of-the-range comfort.

Under the eaves, the second floor unveils a vast space with untapped potential. It currently houses a sun-drenched office thanks to its south-facing aspect, offering an unobstructed view of the grounds. This level also includes ample storage space and a former self-contained apartment with its own kitchenette. This floor, a true blank canvas, lends itself to all sorts of interpretations: an artist’s studio, a spacious playroom, a home cinema, or even a completely independent guest suite with charming attic rooms.

Secluded at the far end of the estate lies a hidden gem: “La Tétardière.” This charming cottage, nestled in lush greenery, elegantly overlooks the main house. A true guest house or a favorite retreat for children, it is organized around a welcoming ground floor featuring an authentic fireplace. Its upper floor, entirely customizable, awaits a design project to become an independent guest suite or a tranquil artist’s studio.

Two beautifully crafted brick and flint buildings complete the architectural unity of the estate.

The first building, dedicated to logistics and property equipment, houses spacious garages and two workshops. The second, a true gem of authenticity, reveals a historic stable with rare features, including two stalls and its original tack room. It extends into two garages, sheltered under a remarkable period wrought-iron canopy.

These two buildings offer remarkable potential for development thanks to their convertible attics, providing the opportunity to create reception or guest rooms perfectly in keeping with the prestige of the property.

Whether you dream of a charming family home with centuries-old character or a prestigious bed and breakfast, this property offers exceptional flexibility. The layout of the outbuildings and the second floor allows for the possibility of a high-end tourism operation or a reception residence on the outskirts of Rouen.
