An 18th-century complex of three buildings, in a more than 760-m² tree-filled garden, in the old village of Marly-le-Roi.
Sheltered from view, the old facades covered in Virginia creeper as well as the various volumes they include have a timeless character and possess a plethora of potential purposes. The main house boasts a double lounge that opens onto the garden, a kitchen, two bedrooms, an office, a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom. On the garden level, a vast, vaulted basement room and a utility room / boiler room complete this edifice. The second house includes a living room with a kitchen, two bedrooms and two shower rooms with lavatories, making it ideal for receiving family or guests. The third building has a separate entrance, an office, a shower room with a lavatory, a large garage, plus two offices and a vast room awaiting conversion on the upper floor. It is a harmonious property that has many potential uses, though, to genuinely reveal its character and suit family, professional or rental projects, the interiors require renovation.
The main houseIn the entrance paved with period terracotta tiles, the tone is set, through walls with exposed stonework, dark-coloured beams, age-old alcoves and time-tested features, all combining to form a rare, rustic yet refined décor.
