A 19th Century Mansion House And Outbuildings With A Courtyard And Walled Parkland, In A

A 19th century mansion house and outbuildings with a courtyard and walled parkland, in a residential area of Angers. Set back from the street and on a north-east-south-west axis, the private mansion is preceded by a courtyard, accessed through a wrought iron gate lined with a pedestrian door and extended by a wrought iron gate. The other gate on the parkland side provides access to a driveway that runs along the rear façade and leads to the former stables. Built in the 19th century out of tufa stone on a hard stone base, the dwelling has four storeys, including a cellar and an attic. The whole building has a four-sloped slate roof and large central dormer windows at the front and rear. The façades are emblematic of the composite architecture of the period. The style is troubadour-like at the front, while the rear is a more sober and classic. The overall decoration is rich, with mouldings, bosses and modillioned cornices lined with a frieze of stylised scallop shells. The courtyard façade is flanked by turrets topped with tall pepperbox roofs, and the entrance door, in the centre, is topped by a rounded balcony with a stone balustrade rail. An extension was added to the east gable at a later date. A passageway running along the west gable links the courtyard and the garden. The parkland is enclosed by walls.
