House Grandcamp-Maisy - 12 bedrooms - 592m²

Bayeux Sotheby's International Realty presents this elegant 19th-century manor house for sale in the heart of historic Normandy and the Cotentin and Bessin Marshes Regional Nature Park, around 20 minutes from Bayeux and 7 kilometres from the sea.

It embodies all the refinement and authenticity of Napoleonic architecture.

This character residence is set in verdant surroundings with magnificent parklands of around 2 hectares, planted with trees of over one hundred years old, some of which are attributed to the Bühler brothers, and a natural pond.

Part of this beautiful exterior is laid out as a formal garden, complemented by an orchard and farmland (leased under a rural lease), making a total land area of more than 8 hectares.

In addition to the main dwelling, the estate includes an imposing outbuilding dating from the 18th century, with a ground floor surface area of approx.

370 m² (including garages) and an upstairs surface area of approx.

200 m² (2,153 sq ft) where a converted theatre still stands.

Smaller outbuildings have their place in this magnificently laid-out ensemble, and during your visit you will discover an old bakery with an oven still in place and a charming oratory.

Completing the property, with its own independent access, is a typical Bessin farmhouse with a rented dwelling house offering approx.

90 m² (969 sq ft) of living space and outbuildings including former stables.

The Manor House was built to a square plan typical of Second Empire architecture, with each facade topped by a triangular pediment with a central oculus representative of Neoclassicism in the Napoleon III style.

With a floor surface area of around 592 m², the dwelling spans three levels, a ground floor and two upper floors; it comprises 19 main rooms including 12 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 shower room and a toilet.

On the ground floor, you will discover a classic layout based around the entrance hall, which is divided into two sections, one housing the noble spiral staircase and the other, at the back, the back staircase.

This space opens on to the reception rooms; to the left is a first lounge with a worked ceiling, a billiards room and a magnificent double-exposed fitted library with a door opening on to the outside; to the right is a second luminous double-exposed lounge, communicating with the dining room which has a French window opening on to the parklands to the east.

A hallway leads to the traditional kitchen with an old stone sink and a charming and unusual double-exposed breakfast room.

The bedrooms are distributed from landing rooms in the form of a small atrium (a large pyramid-shaped glass roof in the centre of the building), offering an abundance of natural light.

Each floor has 6 bedrooms, all with generous floor areas and usually featuring parquet flooring, tall windows and beautiful marble fireplaces, some of which are topped with mirrors and/or overmantels.

The spacious, light-filled living rooms open onto the parklands and invite you to take full advantage of the gentle rhythm of the Normandy countryside in fine weather.

This estate of character is discreet, harmonious and full of soul.

This is an exceptional property, ideal for anyone looking for an inspiring and authentic place to live; it offers great potential as a main or second home, but also for a guest house project in one of Normandy's most popular tourist areas.
