A former officer’s house with a beautiful garden, nestled in Chantilly beside a racecourse and forest. The townhouse forms part of a remarkable architectural complex: a series of former officers’ houses that were built between 1726 and 1730 as part of a large-scale plan to embellish the town of Chantilly, as the prince Louis-Henri de Bourbon-Condé wanted. The project was designed by the architect Jean Aubert. These houses were reserved for the prince’s civil officers, rather than military officers. They form a straight line of dwellings with splendid architectural coherence: a series of fine homes nestled between the road Rue du Connétable and the vast racecourse. You can see these houses from the racecourse stands. Today, the dwellings form an integral part of the outstanding sweeping view of Chantilly that you can admire from the famous racecourse. A broad carriage entrance door leads into a paved inner court. Pedestrians and cars can go through this carriage entrance door from the road. The main building has a facade of dressed stone with the symmetry and understated elegance that characterises 18th-century classical architecture. It is crowned with a slate roof. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor that is underlined with a cornice of mouldings. At the foot of its south-facing elevation, there is a private garden that is well maintained and looks out at the racecourse.
