An Estate Designed For Receptions On 3 Hectare Grounds, Within The Wooded Bessin Countryside Of

An estate designed for receptions on 3-hectare grounds, within the wooded Bessin countryside of Normandy, two hours and 15 minutes from Paris. Seen from above, the property is nestled amidst large expanses of farmland bordered by woods along their edges, while a long lane lined with trees leads to a group of buildings, organised in a U shape around a central landscaped courtyard. With a total floor area of approximately 1,500 m², the estate underwent a meticulous renovation in 2023, which successfully managed to combine its ancient architectural heritage with contemporary requirements. As for the buildings, topped with steep slate roofs, they are arranged around the main dwelling, a manor house built out of Caen stone and cadenced by tall small-paned windows. With two storeys as well as an attic level, it is flanked by two lower wings that frame a precisely defined courtyard, while the outbuildings extend along the courtyard’s three other sides. Featuring a long perpendicular building to the north, with an understated exterior, the main dwelling communicates with a contemporary, glassed in wing to the south, which is extended by a formal garden and more recent amenities. In addition, the exteriors, cadenced by symmetrical windows, alternate between pointed stone and stately blonde limestone window/door surrounds, whereas, behind, a thicket provides welcome shade and privacy. With breath-taking views of the Norman wooded landscape, which has remained unchanged for centuries, the whole exudes both the stability of a family dwelling, as well as the elegance of a site that is today focused on receptions, guest accommodations and celebrations, with its many reception rooms and bedrooms.
