A 126-m² flat, in need of renovating, with its covered patio and views of the surrounding tree-filled grounds, in a chateau in Verrières-le-Buisson, within the northern part of the Essonne department.
The flat is located on the garden level of the Chateau de Paron in downtown Verrières-le-Buisson. Within immediate proximity to the town hall, church, post office and bi-weekly green market, the flat, which will need to be renovated and remodelled, currently includes a dining room, a separate kitchen, two bedrooms, including one next to a room used as a wardrobe, a bathroom and a beautiful living room, the walls of which are lined with wood panelling and original cupboards.
Featuring floor-to-ceiling heights throughout the flat of more than 2.9 metres, which reach up to 3.74 metres in the living room, the latter's windows, 3 metres tall, give on to both the front of the chateau, with its breath-taking stone staircase, as well as the rear patio abutting the chateau's grounds, which is shared with the other co-owners. As for the dining room, it opens on to a wooded area located a few steps above, which is used as semi-private green space, whereas the flat also comes with three parking spaces located in a gravel area near the entrance gate and the staircase that leads to the chateau.
The ChateauAlso known under the name of Chateau Régnier, the Chateau de Paron stands on a small hill that overlooks the Bièvre River valley. Surrounded by grounds of approximately 2,900 m², an immense gate marks the entrance to the commonhold property from the street and opens on to a vast gravel forecourt, ideal for parking vehicles. As for the entrance to the chateau, built in the late 17th century, it is accessible via a breath-taking imperial double staircase, while the premises' architecture, inspired by the Mansart style, is characterised by the classicism of its lines and the understated nature of its decoration.
Featuring an exterior structured by two protruding pavilions on either side of the central main building, it is cadenced by twenty-five tall windows surrounded by verdant Virginia creeper, whereas single-storey wings were added in the late 19th century on either side of the central edifice. Lastly, in the back, facing the grounds, a columned gallery, which provides protection for the dwelling's patios, extends between two foreparts on the chateau's garden level, while the chateau's slate roof, punctuated with dormer windows, was recently restored.The FlatThe flat is accessible from either the chateau's front door or a side door in the western wing, which opens on to the part of the flat that contains the dining room, kitchen and pantry, a bedroom with a wardrobe and a window, as well as a bathroom. It should be noted that this part of the flat could be reconverted in a number of different ways and it would even be possible to create a third bedroom here.
From the dining room, which features a large window next to glass double doors that open on to the western side of the grounds, a hallway lined with floor-to-ceiling cupboards leads to the flat's front door and the rooms located in the older part of the chateau. First, a breath-taking bedroom, with more than 13 m² and floor-to-ceiling heights of nearly 3.6 metres, is decorated with a large arched window that faces both the grounds and living room and provides peaceful views that reach all the way to the edge of the grounds. Next, the living room, an impressive room of nearly 44 m², stands out thanks to its rectilinear dimensions, floor-to-ceiling height of nearly four metres and spacious volumes.
