The property retains the full strength of its original heritage character, featuring period parquet flooring, terracotta tiles, original wooden joinery, antique doors, and six fireplaces, all reflecting the refinement of a bygone era. Now requiring a complete restoration, the estate offers exceptional potential for architectural reinterpretation. The outbuildings—where a change of use remains possible—further enhance this rare property: large former stables, a substantial cellar, a barn, and a separate workshop located across the road, already supplied with water and electricity. Set within more than 5.5 hectares of wooded grounds, partly flat and partly gently sloping, the estate enjoys a south-facing orientation and a remarkable natural environment, enriched with centuries-old trees. The land is also suitable for a swimming pool, further enhancing its development potential. Existing technical features include oil-fired central heating, multiple fireplaces, single and three-phase electricity, and fibre-optic connectivity (to be connected). The individual sanitation system requires full renovation, offering complete flexibility for future projects. This rare and elegant residence is ideally suited to either a large-scale family project or an ambitious heritage restoration. In addition, the property forms part of a wider historic family estate that includes a fully renovated neighbouring residence, also marketed by our agency under reference 595T. Both properties, while sold separately, may be acquired together to create an exceptional combined estate. Further information available upon request.
