A Carefully Restored 15th Century Fortified Manor House, With A Swimming Pool And 3 Hectare

A carefully restored 15th-century fortified manor house, with a swimming pool and 3-hectare grounds, in the Indrois Valley. The homogeneous appearance of the residence and its outbuildings can be found apart from the hamlet, tucked away behind rows of trees. The grounds are partially wooded and are surrounded by the countryside.

The property’s buildings are set around a courtyard and the manor house was entirely restored in the 1980s. The facade of the main residence is dominated by a square, central tower housing a spiral staircase. All the external walls boast exposed stonework, while the large single and double leaf windows possess stone mullions, with granite and stone surrounds and sills.

All the window frames have been replaced with oakwood ones, in which there is lead-framed, diamond shaped, stained-glass in transparent, green or yellow hues. Inside, all the rooms are paved with antique terracotta tiles, all the walls are rendered and there are exposed beams on the ceilings. Six monumental stone fireplaces with impressive jambs pay witness to the long history of the place.

The edifice is flanked on one side by a small house and on the other by a perpendicular wing of outbuildings with a lower height. A barn, at a right angle to the outbuildings, as well as a former pigsty and the surrounding wall enclose the courtyard, which is organised around a well and can be reached through a large gate. The rear facade of the residence is flanked at each end by square towers, while powerful buttresses frame the door in the centre.

All the buildings boast facades made of exposed stonework and roofs made of flat tiles. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: https://www.georisques.gouv.fr/
