Demeures du Perche et de Normandie exclusively presents "AQUARELLE," a former primary school dating from the early 20th century, ideally located at the southern entrance to a charming village in the Perche region, between Mortagne-au-Perche and Bellême. A testament to a unique era and history, this 156 sq m (1,684 sq ft) residence captivates with its traditional architecture, atypical proportions, and diverse spaces. The former teacher's residence and classroom have been transformed into a single unit offering exciting possibilities for renovation and reinterpretation. Two living spaces, once separate, are now united by history. The eastern section, formerly the teacher's residence, is arranged over three levels. On the ground floor, an entrance hall leads to a 38 sq m (409 sq ft) living room, warmed by a wood-burning stove, a vestibule with the staircase, and a toilet. Upstairs, a small landing leads to two bedrooms, a shower room, and a toilet. In the attic, there is an additional small bedroom and a storage loft. Extending to the west, the former classroom offers approximately 60 square meters of space. Now used as a beautiful artist's studio and a separate kitchen, it benefits from abundant natural light thanks to six windows distributed between the north and south facades. A door to the west opens the room onto the former schoolyard. There is an attic above, accessible from the outside. The house showcases a preserved traditional architectural style. With the exception of the flint foundation, the facades are constructed of limestone rubble covered with a buttery render. The quoins and window and door surrounds are distinguished by an alternation of dressed limestone and brick courses, adding texture and rhythm to the overall design. A molded cornice highlights the four facades, while the long, hipped roofs, covered in slate, enhance the understated elegance of the architecture. All these details give AQUARELLE its own unique identity. Courtyard, outbuildings, and garden along the water's edge. Outside, the property is organized around a courtyard primarily facing south and west. A covered area, a woodshed, a shed, a well, and three garages comprise this group of outbuildings, offering valuable storage, parking, and other spaces. Extending from the courtyard, a pleasant wooded garden invites you to enjoy the peace and quiet of the surrounding nature. Bordered by a river, it lends the property a particularly appealing bucolic dimension. The entire property extends over a plot of approximately 1,270 sqm, combining buildings, a courtyard, and a garden. A house to reinvent, a story to continue. A home just waiting for the inspired eye of its future owners to reveal its full beauty, regain its luster, and elegantly write the next chapter of its story.
