Domagné, Brittany 35113

An 18th century manor house in need of renovation, with a garden and outbuilding, in the centre of a village near Vitré, 30 minutes from Rennes. Just a stone's throw from the village square and town hall, in a small street surrounded by listed historic buildings, the building has a wide rectangular façade with three bays. Just outside the door, a stone carving decorated with laurel leaves displays the prestigious name and rank of the master of the house, who had it built in 1786. Built over a basement, the house has two floors and an attic floor, with a total living area of around 217 m². The walls are weathered local stone, red sandstone, schist and granite. The slate roof is topped by three gabled dormers. The windows are framed in ashlar and have an arched wooden lintel at the top. The top of each window is decorated with mantling. A gate adjoins the house and provides access to the outbuilding and garden, which can be seen at the rear of the building. After climbing the few steps of the outside granite staircase, you enter through an old door that has the same motifs as the nearby 17th-century listed building.
