Superb Historic Manor on the heights of Rouen

An exceptional place in the heart of Bois-Guillaume

Discover this exceptional manor in Bois-Guillaume, a unique residence that has spanned centuries and generations. Listed as a remarkable heritage site, this property for sale combines the elegance of two distinct eras and offers an exceptional living environment.

History and Architecture

Built in the mid-17th century, during the advent of Louis XIV, the manor is a perfect representation of classic Norman manors. You will find period features such as exposed beams, authentic Norman walls and floors. The attic with staggered steps and a magnificent vaulted earth cellar add an extraordinary side to this characterful residence. A little anecdote, the attic also houses drawings dating from the Second World War, testimonies of its historical past.

In the 19th century, under the Second Empire, the manor underwent a major transformation: the front facade was enhanced and decorated according to the bourgeois taste of the time. The dining room, the pantry, the kitchen and the scullery bear witness to this era with their stained glass windows and their timeless charm.

A park with an exceptional plant heritage

The park, accessible by a large double staircase, is a true oasis of greenery. On several levels, a magnificent organic vegetable garden or a water line will find their place in this space ideally exposed to the south.

The remarkable trees, including a ginkgo, a purple beech, a magnolia and a lime tree, add to the charm of this place. A majestic sequoia, unfortunately struck by lightning, once dominated the lawn.

Idyllic Living Environment in the City

The building is bathed in light throughout the day. Sunrises and sunsets offer direct luminosity through all the rooms of the old part, while the 19th century part benefits from the afternoon light.

The through rooms on the ground floor and first floor, as well as the semi-attic bedrooms on the second floor, give this manor an undeniable charm and a warm atmosphere.

A guest house, a building plot and outbuildings

In addition to the manor and its park, the property has other assets such as a completely independent guest house with a large living room, a dining room, a kitchen, a south-facing terrace and upstairs, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Also a garage, a workshop and the old caves now used as a laundry room and garage.

Finally, a plot of land could potentially be buildable, or even divided with its own access. The potential is significant!

A highly sought-after location in Rouen

Located in Bois-Guillaume, the property benefits from a bucolic setting while being close to amenities. The park, surrounded by pastures and a few houses built in the 70s, ensures appreciable tranquility and isolation.

This unique manor is much more than just a residence. It is a true historical heritage to be passed on and appreciated. Don't miss this rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional piece of French history!
