Manoir de Bretteville is a magnificent 16th Century fortified stone manor house with tower. It is situated in a beautiful and quiet rural location in a small river valley near the hamlet of Sortosville Bocage.
The manoir is approximately 4 miles away from the towns of Valognes and Montebourg, and is conveniently positioned for easy access to and from the UK via the city/ferry ports of Cherbourg (16 miles) and Caen (60 miles). It is also a short drive away from the many beautiful beaches of the east and west coasts of the Cotentin peninsula - and ferry services to the Channel Islands. A fast and direct rail link to Paris is available from Valognes (approx. two and a half hours).
This historic house, with its abundance of character, has been totally but sensitively renovated over the past 5 years. All of the stone, plaster and joinery works required have been undertaken by skilled local craftsmen using the best available materials. All floors, ceilings, balustrades and doors have been finished in high quality oak. Each floor/ceiling is now fully insulated. The fine stone work of the feature staircase within the tower, in particular, has been recently restored to stunning effect. New hand-built oak-framed double-glazed windows in a completely sympathetic style have been installed throughout. The property has also been newly and completely rewired and plumbed. High quality bathroom furniture has been supplied by CP Hart of London. The house is heated throughout by newly installed, classically-styled cast iron radiators and a 120BTU ‘Heritage’ range cooker.
