5 Bedroom Manor House For Sale

The ultimate property paradox! This stunning and immaculately presented thatched ‘chaumière‘ manages to strike the perfect balance between traditional Norman architecture and modern luxury and comfort. The house was built in 2007, sits in 3.5 acres of private landscaped grounds and parkland and is walking distance to the local shops. Honfleur and Deauville are both within easy reach.




The property has been built and designed to an impeccable standard. The house is oak-framed (on a stone base) with a reed thatched roof, which has a life expectancy of about 45–50 years. The property offers all the charm associated with a traditional Normandy ‘chaumière‘ whilst using the latest technology and design to bring comfort and luxury.




The property is situated in a peaceful and private location yet basic shops are walking distance. A short drive from the property takes you to Pont Audemer, a beautiful market town with a medieval centre, which offers a super twice-weekly market. The popular coastal towns of Honfleur and Deauville are within a 30-minute drive.
