This authentic manor house, built in 1294 as a stronghold to protect an ancient ford, became a strategic location during the various conflicts from the 13th century to the First World War. Today, this property offers you a precious heritage of medieval history, including a close link with the Battle of Crécy, which marked the start of the Hundred Years' War. The roofs and facades are listed as historic monuments. The property has been beautifully renovated, featuring, among other things, high-quality woodwork. After more than seven centuries, its architecture remains remarkable, blending brick and dressed stone. A defensive tower still stands, alongside a landscaped garden of over 5,000 sqm, featuring a water basin, vegetable garden, and orchard bordering the Authie River. On the ground floor, a historic entrance door welcomes you into a charming living room with traditional terracotta floor tiles. The kitchen, adorned with antique woodwork, can be complemented by a cellar used as a utility room, and includes a superb high-end stove as well as a traditional bread oven. Upstairs, a spacious bedroom with white stone walls, terracotta tiles, an old fireplace, and stained-glass windows offers a very elegant atmosphere. The landing, enhanced with elm wood paneling, includes a shower room and toilets, and leads to a warm second bedroom. This room has access to the tower's toilet and to the majestic "salle d'armes" (armory hall), featuring high ceilings and a mezzanine. Two additional bedrooms complete the living space, along with an attic ready to be converted if desired. Outbuildings provide space for storing equipment needed for property maintenance. A former stable could also be restored. 7 km from Auxi-le-Château 15 km from Crécy-en-Ponthieu 30 minutes from the Baie de Somme Sale price of the property: €890,000 Fees payable by the seller Energy rating: N/A Climate rating: N/A Estimated annual energy costs for standard use: Not applicable Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: www.georisques.gouv.fr
