Mill Port-en-Bessin-Huppain (14)
200 meters from a beach, in a secluded cove near Port-en-Bessin, Normandie Privilège offers an old mill and its beautiful garden. The property enjoys a remarkable location, in a preserved natural site by the sea. The original mill was destroyed during the Second World War and rebuilt by the current owner's family. A small stream runs alongside the house. The whole has a lot of charm. The mill has two levels plus attic space, giving a total living area of around 186 m2, with 8 main rooms including 5 bedrooms. A staircase and elevator lead up to each level. The 34 m2 living room with fireplace is the centerpiece of the dwelling. Benefiting from three aspects, it is bright at any time of day and opens onto a large terrace. The first floor also includes a fitted kitchen, laundry room and shower room. On the second floor are four bedrooms, two with en-suite showers and two with a water point. The second floor, with its mansard roof, houses a TV room, a study and a dormitory bedroom. The property sits on a 630 m2 plot. It is completed by a garage and a shed at the top of the garden. The sea can be seen from here. The first shops and services are located in Port-en-Bessin, a lively year-round port just a 10-minute drive away. Bayeux, with its stores, train station and road network, is 20 minutes away. A property in a rare location, ideal as a family home or seaside vacation home.

Mill Argentan (61)
A watermill and its millrace in a beautiful bucolic backdrop, nestled by the meanders of the River Orne in Normandy. A country road leads down through woods and meadows to a private lane that takes you to the dwelling. A large gate opens onto a paved driveway that leads to the watermill. There is a big wooden garage behind it. A millrace made of stone runs alongside one side of the house and harnesses the river water through two oak sluice gates that open to let tree trunks float to the sawmill. A large island lies in the river. Two wooden footbridges lead to it. Behind the house, a terrace with a view of the River Orne lies opposite a timber shed. The watermill is made of local stone. It offers a floor area of around 200m². Its hipped roof of flat tiles is punctuated with hipped dormers and skylights. One section of the roof is raised. A continuous balcony runs along the first floor. Two timber corbels support a canopy above the entrance door. On both sides of the house, a broad stone terrace runs alongside the lawn. A lime-rendered elevation is dotted with large windows fitted with shutters painted blue and French windows that lead out into the garden. This watermill has appeared on maps since 1881. Today, its waterwheel has gone. Before, the mill used the river’s energy to saw wood. The waterwheel was opposite the lounge window. The sluice gates, the machinery of which is still here in place, would be opened so that logs could float along the millrace then be placed on a cart to be sawed. A saw blade, operated by the water’s energy, stretched across the room where the lounge is today.
