In Normandy, in the heart of a preserved countryside, less than two hours from Paris and only forty-five minutes from the elegant seaside resorts of Deauville and Trouville, close to Bernay, renowned for its remarkable heritage, and Orbec, a charming small town of character, Rouen Sotheby's International Realty offers exclusively this charming residence.

Built around 1640 and enlarged a century later, it has traversed the ages without losing any of its character. Shielded from all disturbances, this authentic country house is set in a bucolic environment of approximately 1.4 hectares of meadow, including nearly 3000m2 of a delicately composed English-style garden featuring topiary art, flowering beds, and plant perspectives. The whole offers a peaceful and refined setting, faithful to the spirit of the character properties in the neighboring Pays d'Auge. Erected in the traditional Norman architecture, the residence immediately seduces with the elegance of its half-timbering, its brick and flint bases, as well as the harmony of its volumes. A testament to a rural lifestyle inherited from the 17th century, it has preserved all the authenticity and charm of old houses: exposed beams, noble materials, and a warm atmosphere combine naturally.

Developing approximately 175m2 of living space, the house is organized with fluidity and conviviality. The ground floor features a vast dining room in a 'Family room' spirit, a true reception room, an intimate living room adorned with old beams, a decorative fireplace, and integrated cupboards, as well as a fitted and equipped kitchen. Guest toilets and two staircases inherited from successive eras complete this level.

The first floor accommodates two cozy bedrooms, a bathroom with toilets, a laundry-linen space, and part of an attic. On a half level, a generous master suite has a dressing area, a private bathroom, and toilets. The second level, under the sloping roof, offers about 50m2 of attic space to invest in: the original framework, in perfect condition, will naturally accommodate a top floor of bedrooms or a large living area under the roof, bringing the habitable space to over 220m2. A cellar accessible from the back of the house and an open garage complete the property, which also benefits from an old press to restore, a valuable witness to the rural heritage of Normandy and the cider history of the region. Bright and welcoming, this charming property will appeal to nature lovers looking for a character residence, close to the shops of Bernay and its train station allowing access to Paris Saint-Lazare, at the gates of the Pays d'Auge.
