Description

Just nine miles from Bayeux, in an exceptionally peaceful and unspoiled setting, Normandy Privilège presents a character property nestled along the edge of a woodland and bordered by a small pond. Set on approximately 1.1 acres of landscaped grounds, the estate comprises a renovated residence dating from 1777, a second house awaiting restoration, and several traditional outbuildings.

A long gravel drive winds through the grounds and leads to a courtyard around which the various buildings are arranged. The main residence, built in the late 18th century, reflects the restrained elegance of rural Norman architecture of its period. Carefully renovated throughout, it retains the simplicity of its original proportions and the quiet atmosphere that defines the property.

Offering approximately 2,010 square feet of living space, the house is arranged over two floors. The ground floor includes a dining room with a working fireplace, a kitchen featuring an indoor barbecue and direct access to the garden, a utility room, a living room, a study with adjoining shower room and WC, and a boiler room. Upstairs are five bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate WC, and two storage rooms that could easily be converted into dressing rooms. Above, an attic offers additional potential for conversion.

The house has been meticulously maintained. It is fitted with aluminum-framed double-glazed windows, while heating and hot water are provided by an oil-fired boiler. The property has an energy performance rating of E.

The outbuildings offer a variety of possibilities. A second house, whose roof was replaced in 2009, requires complete renovation and could become a guest house, a rental cottage, or independent accommodation. A former barn, restored in its principal structural elements, retains features including a traditional cider cellar and a tiled room with a fireplace. A former stable, now used as a garage and wood storage area, completes the ensemble.

The grounds have been thoughtfully maintained and contribute greatly to the property's character. Behind the house, the land extends to a small pond with an overflow spillway. An orchard planted with apple and mirabelle plum trees shares the landscape with several mature specimen trees, including a striking blue cedar.

Equally suited as a primary residence or a country retreat, the property also offers the opportunity to develop a hospitality or vacation rental project. Everyday amenities and shops are available in a lively market town just three miles away.
