A Remarkable 14th Century Presbytery With A Gîte, Outhouses And Gardens, Nestled On

A remarkable 14th-century presbytery with a gîte, outhouses and gardens, nestled on Normandy’s Cotentin peninsula, four kilometres from beaches and three hours from Paris. Near a church, a gate between two stone pillars leads onto a drive edged with grassy gardens. This drive takes you to a first house. At the end of the drive, a covered pedestrian entrance leads into a paved courtyard in front of the presbytery. From here, a carriage entrance leads to a grassy pathway that links the church to the start of a majestic drive. This majestic drive leads up to a neighbouring chateau. The presbytery’s foundations date back to the 12th century. It was built in an L shape with flat gable ends. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. In the 14th century, an extension was added in its inner corner. The elevations are made of rubble stone. Ashlar forms the window and door surrounds. The windows and doors on the ground floor are slightly arched. The facade faces south-west. It is punctuated with six bays. Three chimney stacks rise up from the slate roof. Outhouses are dotted around three different gardens. The largest of these gardens extends in front of the presbytery’s facade.
