Description

Normandie Privilège is pleased to present this distinguished hôtel particulier, listed as a Historic Monument, located in the heart of Carentan — a charming Norman town of 10,000 inhabitants steeped in heritage and ideally situated near the D-Day beaches.

This noble residence, whose current architectural form dates from the 17th and 18th centuries, underwent a meticulous and comprehensive restoration between 2016 and 2020. The work, carried out with the utmost respect for the property’s historical fabric, has seamlessly incorporated the comforts and standards of modern living.

The home offers approximately 350 sqm (3,770 sq ft) of refined living space arranged in a classic U-shape around a landscaped inner courtyard, complemented by a walled garden. The property enjoys a privileged and unobstructed view of a remarkable Gothic church tower.

On the ground floor, a central entry hall leads to a suite of elegantly preserved reception rooms: a formal dining room featuring its original 18th-century fireplace, overmantel, and doors; a spacious salon with a monumental 17th-century fireplace and exposed beams; a library nook; a study or ground-floor bedroom; a fully equipped kitchen with adjoining utility room; and guest facilities. The stone flooring, composed of locally sourced antique pavers, reflects the care taken to preserve authentic noble materials throughout.

Two separate staircases — one a 17th-century carved wood staircase, the other a stone spiral staircase — provide access to the upper floors. The first floor includes a comfortable TV lounge, four bedrooms, a dressing room, and a bathroom.
The second floor features two additional bedrooms, a shower room, and a restored attic space suitable for a variety of uses.

The outbuildings, also fully renovated, include several storage spaces and a garage. The layout of the property and convenient nearby parking make it well-suited for mixed residential and professional use, including for a private practice.

Its central location allows for easy walking access to all local amenities: schools from kindergarten to high school, shops, a marina, cultural venues, and sports facilities. The train station, just 500 meters away, offers direct service to Paris-Saint-Lazare in under three hours. Utah Beach is a 15-minute drive, Omaha Beach 30 minutes, and Caen-Carpiquet Airport can be reached in under an hour.

A residence rich in history — where Honoré de Balzac is said to have stayed — this exceptional property will appeal to discerning lovers of architectural heritage seeking a rare and graceful living environment that unites historical integrity with quality of life.
