An 18th-century farmhouse, fully renovated, with its outbuildings, swimming pool and grounds of 2,000 m² in a village between the Seine and Epte river valleys, 80 kilometres from Paris.
Within the French Vexin Regional Natural Park, at the end of a road that winds its way between charming villages and verdant meadows, the property is located in a rural hamlet of 620 inhabitants with a rich historical heritage and surrounded by approximately 500 hectares of protected natural areas, while local shops and services essential for daily life can all be found in another village only two kilometres away. In addition, the closest SNCF train station is 6 kilometres away, whereas Giverny, Vernon, Mantes-la-Jolie and Evreux are 7, 10, 20 and 40 kilometres away, respectively. With daily direct buses to La Défense, this area also includes a 120-hectare water sports centre as well as an 18-hole golf course, both approximately 20 kilometres away, which provide many opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Located in the middle of a village and surrounded by affluent one or two-storey Norman houses, built out of either white limestone or rubble stone, the property is accessible via a tall entrance gate that opens on to the property landscaped with a variety of trees as well as a swimming pool. With a carport providing parking for two vehicles, the two-storey main dwelling, topped with a tile gable roof, is located to the right, while, on the left, at the back of the garden, an immense outbuilding and a cart-shed both abut an adjacent wall. Last, but not least, directly opposite these buildings, a second entrance provides direct access to a village square.
The FarmhouseThe result of a complete renovation that involved incorporating a neighbouring outbuilding into the original dwelling, its exteriors, in white limestone, are characteristic of the neighbouring homes in the Vexin region, whereas its windows and doors, partially protected by wooden shutters and sashes, bathe its interior in abundant natural light and provide views of the garden on all sides. As for the kitchen and living room, they communicate with the large travertine tile patio, while a small vaulted cellar is accessible from outside via a few steps.
The ground floor
The entrance hall provides access, on the left, to the kitchen and the bottom of the service staircase, which provides upstairs access, and, on the right, to a small study and a lavatory, while the living room is located in the second and older part of the dwelling. With white walls, exposed beam ceilings and white tile floors in all of the rooms on this level, the living room also includes an immense fireplace, which once stood in a chateau, as well as an oak quarter-turn staircase to the upstairs floor.
The upstairs
A gallery, fitted with a number of cupboards, provides access to five bedrooms, a bathroom with a shower as well as a shower room, while sisal fibre, pitch pine hardwood or laminate flooring can be found throughout this level.
The basement
Vaulted and accessible from the outside after descending a few stairs, it is located underneath only a portion of the dwelling.
