Una Casa Padronale Del XVI Secolo Circondata Da Fossati E La Sua Tenuta DI 22 Ettari, Nel Berry

A 16th-century manor house surrounded by moats, and its 22-hectare estate, in the Berry countryside. From a small country road, a private drive leads to the property, which stands away from any neighbours in the vicinity. The residence gradually looms into view in the midst of meadows and old trees, including a hundred-year-old cedar. The two-storey, 16th-century manor house topped by an attic level is made of rendered stone, with quoins plus window and door surrounds made of barite stone quarried locally. The edifice is flanked by two towers and is topped by a steeply sloped roof made of flat tiles on the main section and slate for the hipped roof of the square tower. The other two-level, circular tower is topped by a conical slate roof. Many of the windows and doors are fitted with painted hinged shutters. To the south as well as the west of the manor, four outbuildings with simple volumes and gabled roofs made of tiles are a reminder of the estate’s former farming activity. Two of them have been transformed into a house and a holiday cottage, while the two others are used for storage or as a workshop. All the manor’s buildings are surrounded by moats, some of which are still filled with water. The estate spreads out over approximately 22 uninterrupted hectares, mainly made up of meadows, an almost 6-hectare wood and a pond.
