Standing proudly surrounded by gorgeous green parkland and with a large enclosed garden, this stunning manor in Audouville-la-Hubert promises a holiday to remember. Drive through the stone archways on your approach, and you’ll be mesmerised by this grand home-away-from-home, which is quite the striking sight before you. Step inside and it doesn’t disappoint – classic features jump out at you from every angle. Original floorboards peek out from underneath stylish rugs, feature fireplaces delight in many of the rooms, with beautiful wainscoting finishing off the overall look. If your idea of an afternoon well-spent is getting lost in a book, the library on the top floor is sure to be your idea of bliss.

As the French sun bathes the home in its warm light, step out onto your terrace and settle down on a sun lounger. Surrounded by nature, the tranquillity of this location won’t be lost on you. To the backdrop of birdsong, you could find yourself dozing underneath the sun’s warming rays. As evening beckons, head to your summer kitchen and fire up the barbecue. Gather your loved ones around the table and enjoy a delicious dinner and a bottle of fine French wine, as the slanting rays of the setting sun give a warm orange tinge to the sky. You won’t find a more peaceful way to end the day.
