A former farmstead in need of renovation, set in almost 25 ha of land, surrounded by unspoilt and varied countryside, just 1h30 from Paris in the Loiret department.
This character property is concealed in its verdant setting just 150 km from the French capital, on the borders of the Yonne department. Set slightly back from one of the Loiret's little villages, it is near to all amenities and an SNCF train station with daily, 1½-hour links to Paris-Bercy. The nuisance-free estate is surrounded by a private forest, predominantly planted with oak trees. Hiking as well as fishing are very popular activities, notably due to the presence of several large lakes.
The lane leading to the estate winds its way through the countryside and a communal forest. A wide gateway opens into a first enclosed courtyard, containing the main house and another building set at right angles. A large farm building and the caretaker's cottage are in a second enclosed courtyard. Lawn parterres are omnipresent. Meadows extend behind the house, surrounded by oak trees. A lane leads towards the woods. A clearly delimited swimming pool and vegetable garden are near to the house.
The large, luxurious homeIts length makes the main house stand out from the other buildings. Constructed from quarry stone blocks covered with a light-coloured rendering, it spans two levels under a gable, tiled roof. The many windows are fitted with solid wood shutters, painted oxblood red. Those on the second level are gable-fronted, hanging dormers. The entrance door is topped with a tiled awning. On the rear facade, the roof slope extends down over an extension.
The ground floor
The main entrance hall provides access to a large living room, heated by a wood-burning stove and featuring old ceramic floor tiles and exposed beams. Two large, arched openings separate the living room from a dining room. An open-plan, fitted kitchen and a lounge. The large openings let in copious amounts of light. A moulded, wooden door opens into a bedroom, enhanced with strip pattern oak wood parquet flooring, and its shower room. Wainscotting matches the exposed joists. A second entrance door is framed with a dressed stone surround. An additional fitted kitchen looks out the rear of the house over the garden. And lastly, a lounge enhanced with a stone fireplace, fitted with a wood-burning stove, is notably illuminated via French windows facing one another. The hearth is flanked by two angular, stone jambs, embellished with a wooden mantel and regional brick paving. A little, arched serving hatch is set in the wall opposite the kitchen.
The first floor
A wooden stairway goes up from the main entrance hall to a landing which provides access to three vast bedrooms, with views over the interior courtyard and the surrounding countryside. The windows are fitted with indoor shutters. One bedroom has its own dressing room. A bathroom and a separate toilet complete this level. Another stairway in the second section of the house is protected by a guardrail, composed of brick laid in a herringbone pattern. It too goes upstairs to another three bedrooms, with parquet flooring; some featuring an exposed roofing framework and beams. A wide corridor leads to a large, bright bedroom. A glazed door in a fully tiled bathroom opens on to an outside, stone stairway, giving access to the former farm buildings.The second houseSet at right angles to the main house, the similar contours and profiles of this 2-storey house include small-paned windows, fitted with shutters painted the same colour, thus creating a harmonious impression. This building has two different entrance doors separated by an open garage.
