Manoir de Founecrop

Manoir de Founecrop Ltd offers exclusive shared ownership of a beautiful sixteenth-century fortified Norman manor house. A ‘one off’ purchase price of €19,000 secures one week of annual residency through the purchase of shares in the owning company, giving owners, in perpetuity, all the pleasures of owning a historic French home without the financial and practical burdens of sole ownership.

Owners enjoy the freedom of a fully furnished and beautifully maintained country house, together with seven acres of grounds, a tennis court and the tranquillity of rural Normandy, without the year-round responsibility of maintaining a large historic property. For those who have always dreamed of owning a French manor house, Manoir de Founecrop offers an elegant, sustainable and proven alternative to traditional ownership.

Located in the peaceful Normandy countryside, just a short drive from Bayeux and the D-Day beaches, the manor provides a unique opportunity to become part of a small community of like-minded owners who share a passion for France, history and rural living.

Each owner purchases shares in Manoir de Founecrop Ltd, the company that owns the property, giving them the exclusive right to enjoy a guaranteed period of residency every year in perpetuity. There is no public holiday letting, ensuring that the manor remains a private home for owners, their families and invited guests.

Manoir de Founecrop was founded by Ben and Hannah Trumble over twenty-five years ago. Their philosophy has always been simple: to preserve exceptional historic buildings while allowing others to experience the pleasures of ownership in a practical, affordable and professionally managed way.
