Norman half-timbered houses: a complete guide for professionals and individuals
The half-timbered Norman houses , emblematic of Calvados and Orne, represent a unique and highly sought-after architectural heritage. These homes attract both luxury real estate professionals 🏡 and individuals wishing to sell or enhance the value of an atypical and historic property.
Architecture and characteristics of timber-framed houses 🏛️
Structure and materials
These houses are built with an exposed timber frame, filled with wattle and daub or brick. The half-timbering, often painted in contrast to the light-colored plaster, creates an immediately recognizable style. The roofs are usually slate or flat tiles, with decorated gables facing the street.
Interior design and comfort 🛠️
The interiors offer spacious living areas with exposed beams, parquet or stone floors, and central fireplaces. Modern renovations respect the original charm while incorporating contemporary amenities: open-plan kitchens, designer bathrooms, thermal insulation, and home automation.
Adaptation to climate and landscape 🌿
These houses are designed to withstand the damp winters and winds of Normandy. They blend perfectly into the picturesque villages, with gardens, courtyards, or stone outbuildings. The surrounding area often offers views of hedged fields, orchards, or rivers.
