A 16th Century Village House, Listed As A Historic Monument, With Outbuildings, A Main

A 16th-century village house, listed as a historic monument, with outbuildings, a main courtyard and gardens situated 30 minutes from Angers . Flanked by two pillars made of local stone, an entrance gate opens onto a gravel courtyard. The imposing silhouette of the manor house rises opposite, with a wing of outbuildings on one side and, on the other, the beginning of a garden that runs around the building. The manor house dates back to the 16th century, but its origins are older. This is evidenced by the walls of its north and south gables, extended by later, smaller-scale buildings. Built of rubble stone and lime-plastered, the main house is three storeys high, one of which is an attic. The roof is clad in Angers slate. At the centre of the front facade, a pentagonal tower conceals the entrance and a staircase, flanked on either side by four windows, two of which are mullioned. The door and window frames are adorned with prismatic mouldings and flamboyant friezes. A square tower at right angles adds interest to the rear facade. Converted into a farmhouse for over two centuries, the property was saved from ruin by the current occupants. The restoration work undertaken was carried out in accordance with best practices. The facades, roofs and two 15th-century chimneys have been listed as Historic Monuments since 1987.
