A Renaissance Manor With Outbuildings, In Parkland, 20 Minutes From Château Gontier

A Renaissance manor with outbuildings, in parkland, 20 minutes from Château-Gontier. Having previously been the seat of a fiefdom from 1414, the current manor dates from the 16th century and successively played host to several local noble families. A driveway to the south winds through the wooded countryside up to a courtyard bordered by the residence and its outbuildings. The external structures of the rectangular main edifice were restored in the late 20th century before renovation work was carried out inside over the last twenty years. Its shale facade is punctuated by tuffeau stone mullioned windows, on which defensive railings are still in place on the ground floor. The gable dormers, which were returned to their original position during the restoration, are also made of shale and tuffeau. The gabled slate roof possesses overhanging sprockets. To the east, a lower-rise, 18th-century wing extends from the residence. The various buildings are made of shale and topped by roofs made of local slate. The dormers, windows and doors all have tuffeau stone surrounds. To the east of the courtyard, there are three outbuildings, while to the west, a garden is supplemented by a vegetable garden. Another part of the grounds extends to the north and east.
