Property Bayeux - 6 bedrooms - 288m²

Bayeux Sotheby’s International Realty is delighted to present for sale this beautiful, history-steeped manor house dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, just outside Bayeux, a town of art and history with its historic centre, cathedral and museums. According to local tradition, it once belonged to the canons of Bayeux Cathedral.

A spacious rectangular courtyard, featuring a pond bordered by a horseshoe-shaped low wall, is surrounded by attractive and interesting outbuildings typical of the Bessin area.

The Renaissance entrance porch is particularly remarkable, as are the high perimeter walls, one of which features a 15th-century projecting defensive structure supported by two solid corbels, topped with a roof and retaining its arrow slits.

Turning to more recent history, shortly after the D-Day landings this property served as accommodation for a military hospital.

The main house stands apart from the other buildings and is of composite construction, with its left-hand section being the oldest.

As you explore the different floors, you will enjoy discovering some magnificent architectural features. On the ground floor, these include a 16th-century staircase, a sitting room with a lovely French-style beamed ceiling, a monumental stone fireplace and original stone flooring, and a dining room in the Napoleonic style, with parquet flooring, wood panelling and a moulded ceiling.

The bedrooms on the first floor also feature period details, including parquet flooring, fireplaces and a double-coffered ceiling.

The second floor, set aside for guests, has a more contemporary loft-style feel, with cathedral ceilings creating a wonderful sense of space.

Adjoining the main house is a guest house, which could also be used as a gîte. Offering approximately 100 sq m of living space, it comprises three rooms, including two bedrooms with period features such as parquet flooring, a marble fireplace, beams and joists.

The characterful outbuildings include a large building comprising two attractive open cart sheds with arched openings, as well as a former cowshed, stables and a woodshed.

Upstairs, you will be surprised to discover a museum dedicated to the Second World War.

Opposite, on the other side of the enclosed courtyard, stands an attractive L-shaped building with a surprising feature upstairs: a deconsecrated chapel with a mezzanine area. The L-shaped return houses a former orangery, now used as a reception room of approximately 110 sq m.

The grounds are arranged around an enclosed courtyard, with a high defensive stone wall along the street frontage and the former farm buildings, as well as an English-style garden and a small planted meadow.

Situated just outside Bayeux, this exceptional and rare architectural ensemble offers several possibilities: it could serve as a primary or second home, or be used as a mixed residential property with guest accommodation and reception facilities.

A property to discover without delay.
