15 Minutes From Saumur, In A Village On The Banks Of The Loire, A 15th Century Manor House With

15 minutes from Saumur, in a village on the banks of the Loire, A 15th-century manor house with guest house, winter garden and hanging gardens. From a narrow lane east of the village centre, a wrought-iron gate flanked by two pilasters opens onto a paved courtyard. The principal dwelling, 15th-century, rises three levels in tuffeau, a soft white limestone quarried in the Loire valley, beneath a two-pitched slate roof. Where a paired window once opened, the north facade is now pierced by a moulded mullioned window surmounted by a divided semicircular arch. A 16th-century stair tower flanks the building to the west, extended by a rectangular neoclassical wing added in the 19th century, crowned by a hipped roof with a pedimented dormer. Corner pilasters with Ionic capitals, a dentilled cornice and panelled bays ornament the elevations; a sculpted medallion in the likeness of a page boy marks the entrance. The guest house to the west has its own street entrance as well as courtyard access. A vast vaulted cellar and a well complete the property.
