A 19th-century manor house with outbuildings and a walled garden, one hour from Paris, in the Oise area.
The village belongs to the lush setting that is the Pays de Thelle sector, at the gateway to the French Vexin regional natural park. Its church, which is a listed historical monument, and the green spaces around it provide an authentic and peaceful living environment. The rural setting, at the gateway to the French Vexin regional natural park, boasts the presence of essential everyday shops. The neighbouring town several minutes away offers a broad range of services: shops, nursery to senior high schools, sports facilities and cultural centres. Healthcare needs are met by several doctors' surgeries as well as the hospitals in Beauvais and Pontoise, both around 20 kilometres away. Paris can be reached in less than one hour by train or via the A16 motorway, which is just a short distance away. The Beauvais-Tillé and Paris-Charles de Gaulle airports are around thirty minutes away, facilitating travel to destinations further afield.
The property is located in the centre of the village, opposite the church, whose remarkable bell tower erected in the Renaissance period can be seen from the courtyard. After the wrought iron gate, the 19th-century house stands in a circular main courtyard, with a carefully pruned boxwood hedge in the middle, lined by two brick entrance pavilions, one of which has been transformed into a garage. A passage alongside the house leads to the rear, where a more than 3,000-m² garden can be found. There are two brick sheds which are used for storage, notably for firewood.
The residenceThe manor house boasts a façade with tall windows and a regular architectural style typical of 19th-century constructions, with five rows of openings in perfect symmetry. The brick façade is underlined by two stone cornices denoting each level as well as by a modillion cornice below the guttering. There is also an iron and glass awning that shelters the double-leaf entrance door. The two-storey building with an additional attic level has a slate gabled roof punctuated by skylights.

Through the entrance, a small hall paved with period terracotta tiles leads to a wooden staircase with time-worn steps that climb up to the upper levels. To the right, a fitted kitchen with a window overlooking the entrance courtyard still boasts a period fireplace. An adjoining scullery opening onto the garden leads to the living room and the hall. There is also a separate lavatory on this level. To the left of the hall, a door leads into a first lounge with wood stripped flooring, boasting a fireplace and two tall windows through which light pours from the entrance courtyard. Next to it is a second lounge overlooking the garden as well as a dining room that also opens onto the outside, via French windows onto the rear lawn.
The upstairs
The staircase climbs up to a corridor with period wood stripped flooring and is bathed in light through two windows. To the right there is a vast master bedroom with two windows overlooking the courtyard. Next to it stands a bathroom with a window overlooking the garden.

At the end of the corridor, there is a third, dual aspect bedroom with views of the courtyard and garden. It also boasts a fireplace. It is made up of two separate sections separated by a partition and could be used as a bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe or neighbouring baby's room.
