Manor House Designed By Henri Jacquelin, Set Within Over 5 Acres Of Parkland

Located in a charming village in the Pays de Caux, between Rouen and Dieppe, this estate stands on the historic grounds of an 11th-century Benedictine abbey. This singular manor was originally crafted from an 18th-century conventual building.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a whimsical spirits merchant commissioned the renowned architect Henri Jacquelin to design a monumental extension. The result is a striking blend of Neo-Norman and Neo-Gothic styles, incorporating numerous authentic historical elements.

Spanning 546 m², the manor’s original wing features an entrance hall and an 80 m² reception room with a dedicated service corridor. On the opposite side of the lobby lies the 105 m² ballroom, anchored at its end by a circular lounge with a vaulted ceiling. Running alongside the ballroom are a professional kitchen, a scullery, and a pantry.

The first floor features a corridor leading to four bedrooms—two of which have private shower rooms—and a separate bathroom. On an intermediate level, the billiard room opens onto a spiral staircase that leads to the tower bedroom and its ensuite shower room.

The manor includes two basements: one dedicated to technical facilities (boiler room and workshop), and a second accessible from the kitchen, equipped with a cold storage room.

Outside, the park of over 2 hectares (approx. 5 acres) is accessible via two entrances. The first leads to a parking area concealed from the main house, while the second, more picturesque entrance passes through the ramparts. Integrated into these walls is a gatekeeper’s cottage which, after a full renovation, could serve as a secondary guest house. Continuing from this outbuilding is a registered covered storage area.

The partially enclosed parkland was designed in the English landscape style. It offers pleasant walks where one can discover the remaining vestiges of the original abbey. At the edge of the estate sits the medieval ”motte-and-bailey,” the final witness to the site’s feudal history.

Ideally situated between Rouen and Dieppe, this exceptional property offers easy access to Paris, Deauville, Lille, and Belgium.
