Manor in Falaise

Close to the superb village church, this authentic 17th-18th century manor house is hidden behind hedges and features dated dormer windows and sculpted door lintels.

Through an open gate, you enter this beautiful property in an area dedicated to parking. On the way back to the manor house, you pass through a porch. This entrance, lit by a glass roof, leads into the courtyard. This charming courtyard is the perfect place to discover the walled garden. Here, the manor house displays its architectural features under its sculpted, dated dormer windows.

With three perpendicular facades, it leaves a protected, welcoming enclosed garden space and its terrace, which runs alongside the buildings adorned with wisteria and old roses.
You enter via the well-tended, fitted kitchen with its superb original fireplace and bread oven. With a surface area of 30 sqm, it features storage units on a luminous black and white cabochon floor.

A corridor leads to a toilet, a dressing room and a 15 sqm utility room with the boiler room for one of the 2 oil-fired boilers.
Back to the kitchen, you enter the bright dining room, which opens onto the garden. A staircase leads to the back of the room.
A vast landing (approx. 25 sqm) leads from the entrance to the lounge and access to the bedrooms. Depending on your plans, it could form a beautiful living area.
At the end of the landing is a corridor.
Bedroom 1 (approx. 25 sqm) with beamed ceiling and fitted carpet. Large cupboards have been cleverly fitted into the fireplace.
A lovely tiled bathroom (approx. 6 sqm) in good condition, with a 1930s feel.
Bedroom 2 (7 sqm) under a sloping roof with a large window.

Returning to the landing, another staircase leads up to a charming loft bedroom 3 with 2 velux windows, a dressing room and a shower room (10 sqm).
From the first landing, you enter the elegant family lounge. Its superb fireplace bears witness to the origins of this Louis XIV period manor house built of Caen stone. With its French-style ceiling, this beautiful 52 sqm room reflects the soul of the house.
At the far end of the room, a straight wooden staircase leads to the master bedroom suite, bedroom 4, with its two dressing rooms and bathroom on a marine parquet floor (approx. 5 sqm).
Behind this space is a clean, sound attic under an 86 sqm roof frame.

Back in the living room, there is access to the straight Caen stone staircase, corresponding to the main entrance to the house. Its exposed stone walls and delightful patio opposite, encircled by a moulded wooden railing, give it a romantic charm.
You enter into what could be a self-contained flat, with a living room equipped with a kitchen and three bedrooms.
The living room (approx. 45 sqm) is illuminated by three windows and features a straight Caen stone fireplace and an open-plan kitchen.
At the entrance to the room is a small utility room (approx. 5 sqm ) with a view over the courtyard.
At the far end, a corridor leads to a pleasant bedroom 5 (approx. 18 sqm) with its fireplace, cupboards and a superb, tiled floor with cement tiles.
A bathroom and toilet.
A final bedroom 6 (approx. 12 sqm).

This pleasant house could be used as a family home or could be separated from an independent flat for a gîte or bed and breakfast.The straight stone staircase provides an independent entrance.

On the way out, you will find a terrace harmoniously complemented by wisteria and climbing roses along the length of the manor’s living quarters.

The outbuildings and buildings in the manor’s walled garden:

At the right-hand corner of the main facade is a complete and authentic wine press, bearing witness to its former agricultural life.
Beyond the stairway, a storage workshop, a wine cellar and the second boiler 2. A wood shed to keep the house’s fireplaces (approx. 40 sqm) leaning against behind the kitchen.
On the third façade of the buildings, we enter a barn (approx. 103 sqm ),admiring the superb original roofing framework in good condition.
The last 40 sqm of the outbuildings could be used as a garage by changing the wooden entrance door.
There is a small workshop at the rear of the building.
