DESCRIPTION

Ref.4522: 20 MINUTES FROM THE SEA: Neo-Gothic château for sale on the outskirts of Bayeux

Located in Lower Normandy, in the north of Calvados, this elegant château stands in the heart of a small village in the Bessin. Between countryside and sea, the property lies on the outskirts of the Bayeux conurbation, just a short distance from the Manche coastline, whose natural beauty contrasts with its turbulent past.

Renowned for its vitality, the town of Bayeux offers all the services and shops you could wish for within 10 minutes, while showcasing the rich historical, cultural and sporting heritage of the area: châteaux, a cathedral, museums, harbours, golf, horse riding and excursions.

Quick and easy access to motorways, the airport and rail networks.

Set at the heart of a walled, tree-filled park, the château enjoys close proximity to its neighbours without sacrificing the peace and tranquillity it has always offered.

The château has four floors, with approximately 466 m² of living space.

For around ten years, the garden level housed a restaurant occupying almost the entire floor. The former bar, dining rooms, kitchen and facilities can still be identified. Today, the space has been repurposed as a boiler room, wine cellar, workshop and storage area.

The ground floor features a central entrance hall, showcasing the imposing, finely carved Caen stone staircase. In keeping with the symmetrical layout, the left-hand side leads to a large reception room of approximately 45 m² and a more intimate sitting room of 16 m².

On the right is a dining room adjoining a small, functional kitchen, followed by a study.

The first floor is arranged around an elegantly decorated landing, which gives access to six bedrooms, a bathroom, a cloakroom and a WC.

The second floor comprises four main bedrooms with sloping ceilings, two children’s bedrooms, two bathrooms with WCs and an attic.

The outbuildings are situated at the far end of the park, with no overlooking properties.

Tiled garage with two entrances and space for two cars

Orangery of approximately 42 m²

Former small chapel of 15 m²

Stone hunting lodge with a slate roof, measuring 33 m², with adjoining kennels

A small crenellated stone turret with a small room inside is also worth noting.

A pheasantry recalls the rural origins of the estate.

The château is surrounded by a tree-filled park, much of which is enclosed by stone walls.

Laid out in the English style, the grounds feature several notable trees, including a copper beech, a sophora, a white horse chestnut and conifers, alongside a number of flower beds.

A small pond adds to the appeal of these gently sloping grounds, which are easy to maintain.

The total area is approximately 7,000 m².
