Description
Set within the former grounds and indeed part of the ancient Carentan castle, this extraordinary townhouse offers a unique blend of architectural heritage, generous living space and exceptional creative potential. Once part of the medieval fortress, its stones are witness to centuries of Norman history. Used a both a billet and prison for German soldiers in WWII the property now forms part a peaceful, private courtyard residence that invites your imagination for refined living.
The house celebrates the estate’s heritage through beautifully preserved architectural features. The ground floor unfolds across three characterful rooms, each with authentic charm and flexible use. Above, five further rooms offer ample space for bedrooms, studies or relaxation areas, all naturally illuminated. A convertible loft crowns the house, providing an inspiring opportunity for additional accommodation or a dramatic studio. At the heart of the home stands a magnificent medieval stone staircase, an original feature that links the floors with sculptural beauty and historic gravitas.
The house benefits from extensive renovation works including new electrics, plumbing and plastering. The essential structure and utilities are in place, making the homes perfectly poised for a new owner to complete and personalise to their own taste and standard.
With 70 m² and 20 m² of additional courtyard storage, the property offers abundant opportunities. Whether envisioned as a spacious family residence, a gîte, an income-producing rental project, or a distinctive historic retreat, this property stands as a rare offering—where heritage, potential and location combine.
Behind its quiet courtyard walls, the soul of the old castle remains, ready to welcome its next chapter. Private parking.
