Property Caen - 14 bedrooms - 533m²

Ref 4908: Beautiful country house and outbuildings for sale 13 km from Caen

In the heart of the Bessin, around fifteen minutes from Caen and the coast, the house stands on the former estate of a château, where it once served as the manor house. The avenue of honour, now a public road, still runs alongside the property, recalling the layout of this former seigneurial estate. Shops, services and the main transport links are just a few minutes away.

The property is arranged around a spacious forecourt, approached via a former gatekeeper’s cottage which marks the entrance. The main house, the outbuildings and the other annexes form a highly cohesive ensemble, whose layout recalls the original organisation of the former estate.

Built of limestone, the main house has a classical design, probably dating from alterations made in the 17th and 18th centuries. The principal façade features a slightly projecting central section topped by a triangular pediment, while the regularly arranged windows and dressed-stone surrounds reflect the balanced, understated style characteristic of the Bessin’s noble residences.

The outbuildings, arranged at right angles, bear witness to the importance of the former estate. Built with a remarkable consistency of materials, they form a harmonious composition with the main house, highly representative of seigneurial architecture.

The property offers approximately 533 m² of living space, divided between the main house and a separate dwelling arranged in the adjoining wing. The property comprises around twenty rooms, including fourteen bedrooms served by seven bathrooms or shower rooms. Several staircases provide particularly easy circulation between the different areas and make it possible, if required, to use certain parts of the property independently.

The interior layout has retained the principles of organisation typical of large historic residences. Numerous original features bear witness to its preserved authenticity: historic stone flooring, stone fireplaces, several of which remain in working order, and a remarkable stone staircase, one of the house’s most striking features.

The main house is arranged around a spacious entrance hall running through the building, which gives access to the principal reception rooms. On one side are a double reception room with a fireplace, leading through to a study-library. On the other are a dining room, also with a fireplace, the kitchen and its service areas, including a secondary entrance, a larder and a wine cellar.

The first floor contains the principal bedrooms. Three principal bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, are accompanied by three further bedrooms arranged around the landings.

The second floor, converted within the roof space, is served by two separate staircases. The main staircase leads to a small sitting room, three bedrooms and a bathroom, while the second staircase provides access to a separate bedroom with its own bathroom.

The separate dwelling occupies the two upper floors of the adjoining wing. Connected to the main house on the first floor while retaining its own independence, it comprises a sitting room with open-plan kitchen, a billiard room, four bedrooms, two shower rooms and a large attic.

The property retains substantial outbuildings which bear witness to the original organisation of the estate.

1/ The outbuildings

A large stone building stands at right angles to the forecourt. The ground floor features an elegant basket-handle archway, while a dovecote occupies the first floor. In addition to housing the separate dwelling, the building is currently used for covered parking and storage.

2/ The gatekeeper’s cottage

The former gatekeeper’s cottage stands at the entrance to the forecourt, marking the entrance to the property. Arranged over two floors, it offers approximately 58 m² of living space, comprising a sitting room and kitchen on the ground floor, and two bedrooms and a shower room upstairs. It has its own private garden and is currently let on a residential tenancy.

THE GROUNDS

The gravelled forecourt can be accessed via two entrances: the first follows the former estate avenue, while the second passes through a stone gateway opening onto a quieter road.

A rose garden enhances the upper part of the garden, while the regularly maintained perimeter walls help preserve the property’s historic character.

At the rear, the park extends across a terrace which sits slightly above the buildings. Symmetrically laid out, it is contained by retaining walls that open out in a semicircle.

At the far end of the grounds, on the main axis, stands an elegant portico of dressed-stone Tuscan columns, a former garden folly belonging to the château.

The cadastral area is 7,540 m².
