Vire, La Basse Normandie 14500

An almost 300 m bourgeois residence, close to a small town in the south of the Manche department and the Mortainais region. The late 19th century house stands behind a low granite wall, crowned by a wrought iron gate. The property is accessed via a double gate with three towering granite pillars. The masonry is high quality, in yellow granite cut into regular rubble stone courses, as well as Vire blue granite for the quoins, window surrounds, string courses and balconies on the south faade. The other faades feature the same yellow granite, but the surrounds and quoins are brick. All of the joinery is recent. Behind the front garden, the house is rectangular shaped and flanked by a half-timbered tower. The gable roof is made of slate, topped with two tall chimneys and adorned with a dormer window to the south. The tower has a four sloped roof, with a dormer window to the south. The house has four levels: a basement, a raised garden level, a first floor and an attic. The tower has an extra floor. To the north, a veranda opens onto the garden and outbuildings. A jacuzzi is hidden behind it. Set back on the garden side, but visible from the gate, a single-storey conservatory features the same combination of granite and brick as the house's side and back faades. Opposite the veranda there is a summer kitchen with a slate roof, a pizza oven and a bar. There are four covered parking spaces behind the outbuildings, two of which are covered, and a garden shed.
