Réf. 4890: a charming manor house in the Orne.
Shaped by nature and designed by man, the Perche Regional Nature Park encapsulates, across more than 1,800 km², the full richness of Normandy’s heritage and history.From its rich medieval heritage, the Perche has jealously preserved countless architectural gems which, for over five hundred years, have dotted the iconic hills of the Perche and the beautiful state-owned forests that enhance their beauty. As you wind your way along certain country roads, history awaits, concealed by a curtain of trees, inviting curiosity to explore a decidedly discreet entrance, behind which lies the jewel in the crown of Perche’s rural architecture… This beautiful building, heir to a fiefdom first recorded in 1250, bears elegant and understated witness to the seigneurial craftsmanship of the Renaissance. Just a few leagues from daily amenities and less than 160 km from the capital, the property lends itself effortlessly to family life, a shared professional life, or any other hospitality or event-related projects. In this land of rich pastures, apple orchards, gushing springs and forests, the unspoilt natural surroundings exude a way of life characterised by tranquillity and well-being, embraced by all who allow themselves to be carried away by it, whether for a short visit… or for a lifetime.
Welcome to Normandy, in the heart of the Orne…..
The discreet and distinctive entrance, facing south-east, leads the guest towards the main building, comprising a main house flanked by two beautiful outbuildings arranged around a main courtyard.
The architecture is simple and unadorned, on a human scale, featuring neither towers nor turrets – elements usually synonymous with a manor house. The symmetrical arrangement of the outbuildings and their imposing dimensions nevertheless lend the complex an undeniable elegance.
The main house is constructed of lime-plastered stone, topped by a steeply pitched slate roof featuring two chimneys at either end. The windows are mullioned, arranged in bays, and protected on the ground floor by sturdy wrought-iron grilles, reflecting the defensive nature of this property. Indeed, there is evidence that the complex once had a moat….
Built on a cellar and comprising three storeys, the property is laid out as follows:
Cellar: a side door leads to a partially converted cellar used for storage (28 sqm); features a vaulted wine cellar.
Ground floor: the front entrance opens directly into a large living room (50 sqm) featuring a monumental stone fireplace bearing a coat of arms and carved corbels. Original terracotta floor tiles – A bench seat – High ceilings beneath oak joists.
Access to an adjoining annexe, converted into a guest room, comprising a separate entrance, a bedroom (17 sqm), a shower room (walk-in style) and a WC. The interior is comfortable and well-maintained.
To the right of the entrance, a passageway at the foot of the spiral staircase leads to the dining room, which is set slightly lower.
A beautiful dining room (38sqm) featuring a monumental stone fireplace with carved corbels. Travertine flooring – lime-plastered walls.
Access to a small, tiled fitted kitchen, with an external exit onto the east gable.
A built-in spiral staircase leading to the upper floors.
First floor: East side, large bedroom (35sqm) – Original terracotta floor tiles – A monumental Renaissance fireplace, with painted decorations and corbels adorned with red numerals. All the beams and joists also feature decorative motifs and intertwined letters in red or black. This room may well have been where justice was administered in days gone by……
West side: another large bedroom (50sqm) – Terracotta tile floors – A recent monumental fireplace – Oak beams and joists.
En-suite shower room / toilet – Walk-in wardrobe – Library.
Second floor: accessed via a spiral staircase, a landing (terracotta tiles) leading, on the west side, to a bedroom (terracotta tiles) fitted with plenty of built-in cupboards, and adjoining a shower room/WC.
On the east side, there is another bedroom (with terracotta floor tiles) featuring a storage area/library, and boasting an original ‘secret’ annexe fitted with a spare bed.
The property has a living area of approximately 350 sqm.
The space has been optimised, and the interior fittings comply with the ISMH status granted on 12 November 1990.
Outbuildings :
There are four outbuildings, three of which face each other to form a grass-covered U-shaped main courtyard. These three buildings display an elegant uniformity and imposing proportions.
Each building is clad in ochre-coloured lime render, which harmonises perfectly with the reddish-brown tile roofs.
Tucked away from prying eyes, on the fringes of civilisation, emerging from a wild and poetic landscape laid out in the English style, the property boasts a diverse and harmonious environment within a compact space.
An avenue of lime trees leads guests towards the manor house, winding past flowerbeds, boxwood hedges and copses, not to mention the ever-present apple trees. A park on a human scale, a microcosm of nature, both wild and carefully tended……
The immediate surroundings of the manor house hold further surprises, including stunning flowerbeds which, perfectly aligned, add to the charm and invite contemplation.
A few ancient rose bushes complete the scene, adorning the main façade……
The grounds reflect the character of the property, being both understated and charming; they cover a total area of 2.86 acres
The organic environment ensures there are no unpleasant odours… There are no easements encumbering the property.
Its status as a listed building affords the entire property comprehensive, long-term and reassuring protection.
