Steeped in over seven centuries of history, this authentic 13th-century manor—originally built in 1294 to guard a strategic ford—has stood witness to pivotal moments from medieval battles to the First World War. Notably tied to the Battle of Crécy, a defining event of the Hundred Years' War, the property offers a rare and tangible link to France’s storied past. Its façades and roofs are listed as historic monuments, preserving the grandeur of its heritage.
Today, the manor has been lovingly restored with impeccable attention to detail, highlighting exquisite woodwork and preserving its historic soul. Constructed in a striking blend of brick and dressed stone, its architecture remains remarkably intact, including a standing defensive tower that nods to its fortified origins.
Inside, the ground floor welcomes you with a historic entrance door that opens into a delightful sitting room adorned with traditional terracotta tiles and rustic charm. The kitchen, fitted with antique wood cabinetry, boasts a superb high-end stove and a traditional bread oven. A utility cellar supports the space with practical storage and laundry functions.
Upstairs, a beautifully appointed bedroom with white stone walls, a period fireplace, terracotta floors, and stained-glass windows offers a tranquil and elegant atmosphere. The elm-paneled landing leads to a stylish shower room with WC and a second inviting bedroom. From here, access continues to the WC in the tower and to the magnificent salle d’armes—a dramatic space with soaring ceilings and a mezzanine.
Two additional bedrooms provide further accommodation, while an expansive attic offers exciting potential for conversion (subject to permissions).
