A beautiful curved staircase rises from the hall to the first floor, immediately establishing the character of the property.
On either side of the entrance hall are two magnificent reception rooms, each benefiting from impressive 3-metre ceilings, large south-facing windows and fireplaces.
The south-facing orientation provides excellent natural light while offering views across the courtyard and gardens.
The principal living room provides a comfortable and elegant space for relaxation, with access towards the music room and then the snug or office, creating a particularly flexible arrangement.
The dining room is equally impressive, with exposed beams and a superb original fireplace that reinforces the historic character of the house.
To the rear are the fitted kitchen, shower room and separate WC, together with the music room, snug or home office, boiler room and useful storage areas.
A substantial cellar beneath the living room provides additional storage and useful ancillary space.
Bedrooms and extensive attic potential
The first floor provides three generous bedrooms together with a large family bathroom with WC.
A second staircase leads onwards to the extensive attic spaces.
The attic offers considerable potential for further conversion, subject to the necessary permissions and technical requirements.
Depending on the future project, these areas could potentially accommodate additional bedrooms, guest accommodation, offices, leisure rooms or other useful living space.
Exceptional stone outbuildings
Outside, the property offers an unusually impressive collection of traditional stone agricultural buildings.
The outbuildings include:
- Six stables
- Tack room
- Large hangar
- Multi-level barns
- Additional storage and working areas
Several of the buildings have recently been fitted with electricity.
The scale and variety of the outbuildings create exceptional flexibility.
Depending on the purchaser's plans and the necessary permissions, possibilities could include luxury gîtes, equestrian facilities, workshops, studios, event space, additional accommodation or a hospitality project.
For buyers looking for a Normandy property with genuine scope for development, this collection of buildings represents a major asset.
Courtyard, orchard and traditional features
The enclosed courtyard is approached through electric entrance gates and benefits from an intercom system.
