Normandy, Manche, Néhou, France

A45305SPR50 - Built in the 15th century, this manor house has preserved the essence of its historic character and authenticity. The warm golden stone of Valognes, impressive period fireplaces, original exposed beams and magnificent stone staircase evoke the understated elegance and prestige of the former seigneurial residences of the Cotentin Peninsula.

The estate also includes a charming private chapel dating from 1655, a particularly rare heritage feature that adds a unique dimension to the property and enhances its historical significance.

The manor offers approximately 200 square metres (2,150 sq ft) of living accommodation.

The ground floor is centered around an elegant entrance hall leading to a remarkable original stone staircase. The heart of the house is a spacious 36 m² reception room featuring an imposing Valognes stone fireplace. This level also includes a study, a bedroom, a bathroom, a separate WC, a kitchen and a conservatory overlooking the grounds.

On the first floor, an impressive principal bedroom of approximately 36 m² with its own fireplace enjoys views over the estate. Three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom provide comfortable accommodation for family and guests alike.

Two substantial attic spaces, accessed via a second stone staircase, offer significant potential for conversion into additional living accommodation, subject to any necessary permissions.

The estate extends to approximately 6,700 m² (1.65 acres) and includes:

• A natural pond
• An orchard
• A traditional well
• The private chapel

• Approximately 210 m² (2,260 sq ft) of outbuildings including a garage, carport and ancillary buildings

For purchasers seeking a larger private estate, there is also the possibility of acquiring approximately 9 additional hectares (22 acres) of adjoining land.

One of the property's most attractive features lies in its status: the manor is not listed as a protected Historic Monument. It therefore retains all the charm and prestige of a historic residence while offering considerably greater flexibility for renovation, modernisation or extension projects, subject to the usual planning permissions and local regulations.

Modern comfort has been thoughtfully incorporated through a ground-source geothermal heating system, providing excellent energy efficiency and long-term operating economy. Energy Performance Rating: D.

This exceptional property will appeal to heritage enthusiasts, lovers of historic homes, families seeking a character-filled country retreat, as well as those considering a prestigious second residence, boutique hospitality venture or private equestrian estate.
