A characterful 18th-century house to be restored with a 1,500m² garden, an hour away from Paris. The property is hidden behind a large covered entrance made of wood and framed in stone rectangles in relief. The house adjoins another one on one side. The edifice was built at the end of the 17th century and the start of the 18th century. It faces a closed courtyard on its west side. Its three sections form a U shape with a double-size central section set back with a raised ground floor. At the end of its two wings, there are two separate pavilions, one of which extends the edifice with a shelter. A ground floor and a first floor can clearly be seen in the court-facing facade, which is being restored and is made of rubble stone with rendering. A mansard roof, partly covered in slate tiles, crowns the edifice. Second-floor dormers dot this roof on both sides: one dormer faces the court and three face the garden. At each level, the elevations are punctuated with evenly spaced windows with large panes in old frames. At the foot of the garden-facing elevation, there is a raised paved terrace via which you enter the house on this side. Lastly, at one edge of the plot, there is a stone lean-to that has been turned into an outbuilding. It is a remnant of a former wash house beside a false river running through the property.
