Property Argentan - 4 bedrooms - 161m²

Ref 4916: Elegant Norman manor house situated 14 km from Argentan

This elegant Norman manor house lies at the northern edge of the Orne département, just a few miles from Calvados. Set apart from a village of around 530 inhabitants, it enjoys a pleasant rural setting, with a tree-filled park and a small river running along the boundary of the property.

Everyday essentials are available in the nearby village, which has a small supermarket, while the towns of Argentan and Falaise, both equidistant, offer a wider range of shops and services. Road, motorway and rail links are close by, making it possible to reach Paris in under three hours.

A wealth of leisure activities—hiking, climbing, canoeing, horse riding, fishing, golf and greenways, among others—can be enjoyed amid the remarkable scenery of nearby “Norman Switzerland”.

Modest in size yet imbued with the authenticity of centuries past, this manor house exudes charm through its understated character, inviting visitors to imagine an irresistible new way of life.

The manor house has a quadrangular stone structure arranged over four levels, beneath a four-sided hipped roof of flat tiles.

A monumental fireplace and a hayloft dormer lend the building balance and harmony, softening the austerity of its architecture. A spiral staircase adds a pleasing feature to the north façade.

The arrow slits recall the building’s defensive role, while the mullioned windows bear witness to the first alterations made as early as the 17th century.

The whole is harmonious and authentic, a beautiful page of history and a fine example of the richness of Normandy’s heritage.

With 161 m² of living space, the manor house is arranged as follows:

Ground floor: main entrance on the south-west façade, opening into a paved, fan-vaulted sitting and dining room, featuring a monumental stone fireplace with an old bread oven. The carved keystone depicts three fish. Attractive ceiling height of 3 m.

A narrow, unusual stone staircase leads up to a small guardroom on the half-landing.

A handsome spiral staircase gives access to the upper floors. A WC with hand basin has been fitted at its base.

Small kitchen adjoining the main living room.

First floor: large living space currently used as a studio. Original terracotta floor tiles, wood panelling and exposed joists. Small adjoining bedroom (8 m²) with fireplace, next to a bathroom. Ceiling height of 3.14 m.

Second floor: bedroom with parquet flooring, stone fireplace, bookcase and internal shutters. Adjoining shower room with WC. Ceiling height of 2.55 m.

Third floor: parquet-floored room arranged beneath the eaves as a sitting room, bedroom and study. Exposed cathedral-style roof frame. Height at the ridge of 3.28 m. Water supply connection. Insulation.

The property has just one small outbuilding, originally built of stone but now reinforced with concrete blocks. It has a tiled roof and measures approximately 30 m².

This small outbuilding houses all the manor house’s utility facilities: the boiler room, washing machines, workshop and storage.

THE GROUNDS

The manor house enjoys a rural setting, with naturally landscaped grounds where 300-year-old oaks, chestnut trees and ash trees grow alongside one another, not forgetting the inevitable apple trees—or the more unexpected kiwis.

The “Gronde” river runs along part of the property, offering anglers a peaceful stretch of water.

The property retains its privacy thanks to the old kitchen-garden wall, which screens it from neighbouring properties.

A winding drive runs along the edge of this verdant plot, which extends to nearly 50 ares, leading visitors towards the exit.

There are no particular nuisances or easements to disturb the tranquillity of this discreet and mysterious residence.
