Ref.4093: Elegant angevin manor house from the 15th C. For sale.
This remarkable manor house, whose origins date back to the 15th century, when a family of royal nobility occupied the premises, is firmly established in the heart of the Baugeois region, which is rich in cultural and architectural heritage and offers a variety of leisure activities in a particularly well-preserved natural setting. Crossed by the Loire River and renowned for its numerous castles, Romanesque churches, manor houses and half-timbered houses, the Baugeois is home to the famous tourist sites of the Château de Brézé, the Château de Montsoreau, the Abbey of Fontevraud, the Château de Baugé, the Priory of Sainte-Gemmes-sur-Loire and the historic town of Saumur. Benefiting from a peaceful environment, the property is not far from the town of Angers and the main shops/resource towns are 10 minutes away by car. Easily accessible from Paris and the main cities of the west, Nantes, Le Mans and Tours, this seigneurial building will undoubtedly inspire lovers of old architecture and is ideal for a main residence, holiday home, gîtes or other professional activities.
Built on three levels in tufa and local stone rendered with lime under slate, this admirable seigneurial dwelling is adorned with a wing in its extension and another in return for a square, and has remarkable transoms with tufa mullions piercing its main building with several openings from which a diaphanous light spreads pleasantly around the interior. Flanked on the north side by a massive square tower, the specificity of which is to change from a polygonal to a square plan by 'a corbelling with eight quarter round moulded projections', an impression of placid power emanates from this group of buildings, which has been freshly renovated with a degree of care rarely seen. The tower gives access to the interior via a pretty doorway topped by a lintel in the form of an embrasure, and contains a singular wooden spiral stairway. Adjacent to the large dwelling, a vast terrace topped by a slate canopy completes the balance of this building. The main entrance from the main courtyard gives access to the ground floor which is arranged as follows: A vast and elegant living room extends on either side to two monumental tufa fireplaces facing each other. This gives access, on the right, to a comfortably equipped kitchen and a back kitchen. Opposite, a door gives access to the spiral staircase of the tower. To the left, a hallway leads to an en suite bedroom, a bathroom and the staircase leading to the first floor. Throughout, one finds admirably worked and inspired by the aesthetic conventions of the time, terracotta floors from the nearby rairies, half-timbering and exposed beams, stained glass windows and finely worked wooden shutters... On the first floor, a landing leads to a bedroom, a shower room and a bathroom on the right, and to the left, three bedrooms, one of which is of good size and features a magnificent monumental tufa fireplace, a bathroom and a shower room. As on the ground floor, there are terracotta floors, exposed beams, stained glass windows, interior shutters, and remarkable tufa 'coussièges', a sort of stone bench integrated into the embrasure of certain windows which were used in the Middle Ages as benches for sitting and later as resting places for reading or writing. On the second floor and in the attic, additional volumes offer interesting potential for conversion as required. The living space is approx. 350 sqm.
The property has two outbuildings: A large games room (approx. 50 sqm) is located in the extension of the living area, which is set back at right angles and can be accessed from the courtyard on the same level. On the first floor, an attic accessible via an attractive external slate staircase offers additional possibilities for conversion. A little further away, an old stable has been perfectly renovated and is used as a garage and a shed.
The manor house is set in beautiful English-style parklands of 4,21 acres planted with beautiful trees in the making (oak, chestnut, acacia, cedar, fruit, apple, pear, cherry, plum, quince, raspberry, redcurrant trees, etc.), and punctuated by a beautiful pond with fish. The view is unobstructed over the surrounding valleys and there is a great deal of peace and quiet in this place, which naturally gives meaning to Joachim du Bellay's famous sonnet evoking the 'softness of Angers'.
