House Bayeux - 7 bedrooms - 238m²

In the heart of Bayeux’s historic quarter, with views of the town’s cathedral and the medieval town’s iconic square – now known as Place de Gaulle and formerly Place du Château – you will discover this mansion with an 18th-century façade finished in small pebble render, this residence forms part of an architectural complex divided into several properties.

The property comprises two separate buildings; the older of the two, rising over three storeys, displays Renaissance architecture characterised by a 15th-century freestanding stair tower opening onto a landscaped courtyard with a central path.

To the south lies a second inner courtyard, originally a narrow alleyway; at the far end of this courtyard, you will find a two-storey building featuring curious arrowslits in its masonry; this building could be converted into a small guest house.

Today, the property offers a living area of approximately 238m², divided between a gîte of around 90m² and the main living quarters of approximately 148m².

The holiday let is spread over three levels; the upper floors are accessed via the spiral staircase in the tower, from which you can see the spires of the cathedral; on the ground floor, there is a living area serving as a kitchen-diner opening onto the first courtyard, a bedroom and a shower room with a toilet; the two upper floors each contain a bedroom with en-suite facilities.

As for the main house, it is laid out from the ground-floor entrance, which features a comfortable staircase leading to the first floor and a landing with attractive terracotta tiles on the floor; from here, the living areas are accessed, comprising a study/library, a dining room featuring parquet flooring, panelling and a moulded ceiling; a double-depth living room with wood panelling, parquet flooring and a period-style fireplace with an integrated mantelpiece; and, adjoining this, a large bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom; at the rear, facing the courtyard, a fitted and equipped kitchen, followed by a pleasant bedroom with its own walk-in wardrobe; completing this level is a fitted shower room with a toilet.

As for the second floor, it is reserved for further sleeping quarters with two bedrooms.

A garage on the ground floor of the property opens directly onto the street.

Our thoughts: a property steeped in history, forming an integral part of Bayeux’s architectural heritage, situated in the heart of the historic ‘Saint-Sauveur’ district, just a stone’s throw from the cathedral and the shopping streets.

This property has been carefully restored and refurbished whilst respecting the authenticity of the site.

A charming house par excellence that is well worth a visit.

• Renaissance architecture with 15th-century staircase tower.
