Alençon, La Basse Normandie 61000

An elegant 18th-century manor with a pool and five hectares of grounds, tucked away near the quaint village of Saint-Céneri-le-Gerei in Normandy. The manor dates back to the 18th century. It was built for an important family from Alençon. The estate is set back from the local village, at the end of a lane. A wrought-iron gate leads through an enclosing wall into a court, around which there is a walled orchard, a swimming pool, a workshop, garages and an outbuilding with a music and reception hall with a floor area of over 80m². In front of the manor, a lush lawn extends to a lake. The edifice has a central section and two wings. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. The rendered facade is classical in style with quoins and window surrounds of exposed dressed stone. A conservatory extends the interior out towards the parkland. The manor is crowned with a steep slate roof. Inside, the home offers a 480m² floor area.
