Description
The property
The property can be accessed by a country lane. A driveway leads from the entrance barrier to the 3.5 ha (8.6 acres) of plains and woods planted with tall forest trees (pine, beech and cedar) of over one hundred years old. A lawn bordered by wooden railings surrounds the main dwelling. The periphery of the residence and that of the main access driveway are paved with bricks.
On the right of the main building, the upstairs of the large outbuildings have been converted into a flat with an exterior gable entrance. Said outbuildings include a tack room, a terracotta floor tiled laundry room, a workshop, a hay loft, four horse boxes and three kennels. There is also a riding arena and a large car park paved with bricks.

Wooden balconies are suspended from two of the facade windows. A porch way with brick railings and balusters leads up to a French window of one of the lounges and down to an outside entrance to the basement of the dwelling. The slate roof features roof dormers, brick chimneys and bell towers adorned with bell turrets.

Our opinion
The manor house and the outbuildings are in pristine condition. The premises can be lived in straightaway without any works to be scheduled. Everything in this family home has been thought out down to the last detail, providing comfort not only for its future owners but also for their horses.
Not far from the seaside, with all shops and amenities in the local provincial towns. A main residence or a holiday home? In both instances, whatever the decision, life promises, without a doubt, to be comfortable and serene!
