There’s a great sense of history and tradition at this bucolic Normandy farmstead. Arranged around a central courtyard with a very pretty duck pond, one can just imagine what life would have been like living here over the last couple of hundred years or so. Now, beautifully restored, there is a 4-bed longère, the former bread oven converted into an office and very well maintained outbuildings.  The roofs have been redone, walls and exposed beams are sound and there is great potential here for a variety of uses.

Whilst there are currently 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, there is plenty of scope to create additional space as the attic is currently an under-utilised area.  It would make a great games room but could also be an office, studio or additional bedrooms and bathrooms.  

There is 150m2 habitable space.  Here’s the layout:

Ground floor

Entrance hall
Sitting room with beautiful period fireplace and built-in cooking pot
Open plan kitchen with large glass doors and wood-burning stove
Sitting room with fireplace & dining area
Ground floor bedroom, the master suite
Ensuite shower and WC
Family bathroom

First floor

Bedroom 2
Bedroom 3
Bedroom 4

Attic space

Vaulted cellar 

 
Grounds

Outside, the plot covers just under an acre and a gated entrance leads to a drive way and plenty of private parking.  A flower-lined paved pathway takes you down to the duck pond where many contented feathery inhabitants splash around beneath the linden tree.  At the back of the house there is a thriving orchard, full of fruit trees of different varieties.  For anyone with green-fingers there is also a vegetable garden.  

Location

Situated at the end of a quiet lane, the house is in a lovely peaceful spot in the Normandy countryside, yet is less than 10mins from Forges-les-Eaux, a popular spa town with lakes, a forest and a wide range of shops, restaurants and amenities.  Beauvais airport is 45 mins away and Rouen less than an hour’s drive.  The ferrport at Calais is a 2hr drive and Dieppe just an hour away.  Neufchatel-en-Bray, Honfleur and the stunning beaches and cliffs of this part of the coastline are all nearby and perfect for day trips.  If you wanted to drive into the centre of Paris, it’s about a 2hr drive on a good run and there are a various bus/train options .
