Nestled near Creully-sur-Seulles, in the peaceful heart of a Bessin hamlet, Normandie Privilège presents a beautifully restored 18th-century rectory. This property seamlessly blends the charm of a historic building with contemporary comforts and finishes of the highest quality.
Accessed via a quiet cul-de-sac, the house is sheltered from any disturbance. It is centered around a walled courtyard at the front and a private garden at the rear, together spanning 570 m². From the garden, the view opens onto a lovingly restored chapel, lending the setting a rare and serene atmosphere.
Constructed from Caen stone and topped with slate, the rectory spans three levels, offering approximately 180 m² of living space with six main rooms, including four bedrooms. The façade, characteristic of such buildings, is adorned with a cross above the entrance and a dormer window dated 1762, while a stone spiral staircase hints at an even earlier origin.
The ground floor features a spacious, luxury-fitted kitchen (central island, dining area, four ovens, Miele appliances), leading to a practical scullery. A cozy living room, warmed by a wood-burning stove, invites relaxation, while a grand dining room—marked by a monumental fireplace and double-height ceiling—is perfect for both elegant entertaining and intimate gatherings. A secondary entrance with a dressing area completes this level.
A half-landing hosts a shower room with WC. The first floor offers two bedrooms, including a suite with a full bathroom (bathtub and shower). A second half-landing provides a study, and the top floor reveals two charming attic bedrooms.
The restoration has carefully preserved and highlighted original features: exposed stone walls, spiral staircase, fireplaces, beams, and joists. Contemporary touches, such as the bleached oak flooring in the living room and double-glazed solid oak windows with interior shutters, blend seamlessly with the historic fabric.
Thermal comfort is ensured by thoughtful insulation and an efficient heating system combining a heat pump and oil-fired boiler, resulting in an energy rating of D.
Outbuildings include a garage and two storage sheds. The exterior comprises a walled courtyard at the front and a wooden terrace with landscaped garden at the rear.
This characterful property will captivate lovers of meticulously restored historic homes, ideally located just minutes from the D-Day beaches, as well as the cities of Caen and Bayeux.
