Description

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.
Authentic 15th-century Norman manor houses that have retained their architectural integrity, private chapel and complete privacy have become increasingly rare and are among the most sought-after properties in Normandy's prestige real estate market.

A rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable piece of Cotentin history in an outstanding natural setting.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
