A 15th And 18th Century Former Priory, In Grounds Of More Than 6 Hectares, In The Former Anjou

A 15th and 18th-century former priory, in grounds of more than 6 hectares, in the former Anjou province, on the outskirts of a village. A tree-lined lane from the road leads up to the property and arrives at a gravelled courtyard, with a barn on one side and a farm shed on the other. Opposite, the residence is preceded by a raised patio and surrounded by a former moat. The original priory was erected on the remains of a former castle and dates from the 15th century. It was considerably altered and enlarged in the 18th century, as demonstrated by the layout of the front facades with arched window and door openings. Today, it is made up of two sections that join at a right angle, the largest of which is oriented south to north and the smaller east to west. The two three-storey edifices, each with their upper level in the attic space, are built with rubble stone coated with lime rendering. They are topped with steep, half-hipped, slate roofs punctuated with dormer windows in the centre. The window surrounds, dormers, cornices and quoins are made of tuffeau stone. The inscription “D. O. M. 1732”, marked above the entrance door, pays witness to the religious origins of the property.
