Historic description (Ministry of Culture)
Manor known as “Manoir de Commes”. Stables and outhouse, likely a press room and larder originally, built in the 16th century. Dwelling built in the first half of the 18th century. In 1765, property of Mr. Subtil, Lord of Commes and Port. He may have ordered the redesign of the formal garden ending with an exedra, and a moat represented on the 1809 land register. 1871: uncompleted plans for the reconstruction of the dwelling’s staircase for Mr. de Saint-Louet by Charles Le Verrier, architect in Bayeux. Manor then acquired by the Parisian Jules Heuzey who had it entirely converted by Auguste Duvert and Adrien Hamelin, architects in Paris: April 1899, plan to restore the dwelling; November 1899, plans for the interior decoration, works nearing completion in 1900 (date on the main doorway). Refurbishment at the same period of the stable and outhouse buildings, along with the caretaker's cottage and the gardens, and construction of the billiards room building, known as the “Maison Normande”, the orangery and the pavilion. Circa 1910-1914, construction of the tower and entrance gate.
Barnes is listing this Manor to renovate, featuring four rooms on the ground floor, period fireplaces and ceilings with wooden beams. The floors date from the building’s construction.
Bedrooms on the upper level offering generous volumes with a period parquet floor.
The manor’s roof and rendering were redone in 2024.
