House Basseneville - 5 bedrooms - 380m²

Two hours from Paris and just 20 minutes from Caen, as well as the seaside resorts of Cabourg and Houlgate, Pays d'Auge Sotheby's International Realty is pleased to offer for sale this charming 16th-century manor house, remodelled in the 18th century.

The property is listed on the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments, making it eligible for tax benefits: expenses may be deducted from taxable income (or 50% of expenses if the property is not open to visitors), and inheritance tax may be waived if the heirs retain it for 15 years.

Built of Caen stone and topped with a slate roof, the property offers around 300 m² of living space over three floors. The house comprises nine rooms:

On the ground floor: a central entrance hall with a period staircase, a large corner sitting room with a monumental fireplace, a dining room seating twelve and a spacious fitted kitchen with a central island.

On the first floor: a principal suite comprising a bedroom, boudoir, dressing room and bathroom; a second suite with its own shower room; and a third bedroom with a separate bathroom.

On the second floor: a fourth bedroom, a shower room and a room beneath the roof timbers. A full basement, accessed from the kitchen, includes a cellar, boiler room and storage areas.

The property sits within grounds of over 8,000 m² bordering the River Dives (a real treat for fishing enthusiasts...), with a landscaped garden featuring a lawn and an orchard.

A small stone outbuilding provides additional storage. This beautifully restored and decorated property would make an ideal family home, but could also be used as a second home or guest house, thanks to its proximity to the major D-Day sites and its historic character. An added benefit: it is sold fully furnished and ready to move into.

A must-see!
