A 14th-century manor and its gatehouse, on approximately 8 hectares of meadows, 10 minutes to the south of Tréguier, in Brittany. The property is arranged around an immense courtyard surrounded by several stone buildings topped with slate roofs, while the former manor, identifiable thanks to its immense carriage entrance and original layout, represents the main dwelling for this complex of buildings.
Dating from the 14th century, it is accessible via a lancet archway, the latter of which is surrounded by multi-tiered moulded archivolts, supported by small embedded columns. Crowned with an upper arch that buttresses a trilobate stone above the passageway, the latter of which connects the property’s large original drive with the manor’s courtyard, a narrow window, surrounded by granite has been created in the dwelling’s thick wall, whereas the building’s rubblestone masonry and granite ashlar stone details bear witness to the edifice’s different phases of construction.
Nearby, a separate building has been converted into a holiday cottage, while, directly opposite, a second building is located near the swimming pool and currently features a relaxation area, a fitness room as well as a summer kitchen. As for the outbuildings, they are made up of an agricultural storage building, a garage and several storage spaces, whereas two entrances provide access to the property. The first gives on to the manor’s original drive, the latter of which is lined with trees and, specifically, Mirabelle plums, as well as flowerbeds, and is used by the property’s guests, while the second is accessible via a solid electric gate.
Lastly, in the middle of the courtyard stands a tall cypress, which facilitates vehicle manoeuvring, whereas the outskirts of the buildings are blanketed with grassy areas planted with chestnuts, walnuts, shrubs and many flowerbeds.
