Ref.4643 : Lovely french house with outbuildings and wooded park in Normandy. Forest-covered hills, valleys with bocage slopes, sunken lanes lined with hedges, rivers and ponds......small, characterful towns steeped in rurality and devoted to the true values of a peaceful, epicurean lifestyle in the heart of a rich and much-vaunted historical heritage.....there's no doubt you're in the Perche. The history of this elegant bourgeois house is steeped in the heart of the Perche region, with its legendary neighbours Bellême and Mortagne, emblematic symbols of the renowned Regional Nature Park and its forests, an unfailing guarantee of the preservation of its flora and fauna. Away from the hustle and bustle of commerce and set back from the main roads, it is in the shelter of high walls that you will have to guess the unsuspected presence of a beautiful family home overlooking landscaped grounds of over one hectare. Everyday needs are within walking distance, with the commune offering not only all the services and shops you need for everyday life, but also, thanks to an active community fabric, a host of cultural, tourist and sporting activities. The weekly market of local producers will confirm, if confirmation were needed, the ‘bon-vivre’ of the Perch region, which you can't get away from by adopting the Orne...... little paradise less than 2 hours from the capital. At the front of the property are two pavilions on either side of the main entrance, built of rendered stone masonry, each one storey high and covered with a four-sloped flat tile roof. A pathway, entirely paved, leads to the west facade of the property, towards its main entrance. The dwelling features a 3-storey stone masonry central section, flanked by two wings, and topped with a tiled roof featuring dormer windows and fireplaces. The openings are in bays, creating a perfect symmetry that could easily be attributed to the great century. Pleasant small-paned windows add an undeniable touch of elegance....

The trees are over a hundred years old, providing a palette of colours that gives the space a sense of intimacy that is rare in a city property. Every possible species can be found here (lime, purple beech, chestnut, horse chestnut, fir, blue cedar, poplar, etc.), not forgetting the many fruit trees (quince, fig, apple, William pear, cherry, peach, walnut, plum, raspberry, strawberry.....). The flowers are not to be outdone, in the shade of the deciduous trees, carefully arranged in multicoloured beds that are deceptively disorganised. A good-sized vegetable garden is surrounded by a pond and an attractive water pump, suggesting the presence of a well. An elegant brick greenhouse takes care of the plants... Perennial hedges have finally found their place in the middle of this park enclosed by walls and fencing, covering around 3 acres (1.25 hectares). The countryside in the city is the challenge taken up by this property, which is just waiting for the next generation to continue its history.
