A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Historic Carentan. Property with storied history

Set within the former grounds and indeed part of the ancient Carentan castle, this extraordinary pair of townhouses offers a unique blend of architectural heritage, generous living space and exceptional creative potential. Once part of the medieval fortress, its stones witness to centuries of Norman history. Used a both a billet and prison for German soldiers in wwii the property now forms a peaceful, private courtyard residence that invites your imagination for refined living.

House 1 celebrates the estate’s heritage through beautifully preserved architectural features. The ground floor unfolds across three characterful rooms, each with authentic charm and flexible use. Above, five further rooms offer ample space for bedrooms, studies or relaxation areas, all naturally illuminated. A convertible loft crowns the house, providing an inspiring opportunity for additional accommodation or a dramatic studio. At the heart of the home stands a magnificent medieval stone staircase, an original feature that links the floors with sculptural beauty and historic gravitas.

House 2 offers a spectacular sense of volume with an impressive open-plan area boasting soaring ceilings-ideal for creating a generous living, dining and kitchen environment. Dominating the room is an enormous original stone fireplace, a breathtaking centrepiece that instantly anchors the space in the property’s rich past. Thoughtfully arranged areas allow for a bathroom and WC, while a beautifully crafted wooden staircase rises to two first-floor rooms and further loft access, offering multiple layout possibilities.

Both houses benefit from extensive renovation works including new electrics, plumbing and plastering. The essential structure and utilities are in place, making the homes perfectly poised for a new owner to complete and personalise to their own taste and standard.

With 110 m2 in the first house, 70 m2 in the second, and 20 m2 of additional courtyard storage, the property offers abundant opportunities. Whether envisioned as a spacious family residence, a pair of gîtes, an income-producing rental project, or a distinctive historic retreat, this ensemble stands as a rare offering-where heritage, potential and location combine.

Behind its quiet courtyard walls, the soul of the old castle remains, ready to welcome its next chapter.
