A 19th-century Bourgeois home between the River Seine and the Vexin hills, in Vétheuil, with outbuildings and a more than 3,900-m² walled garden. The residence dates from the first half of the 19th century and displays all the characteristic elements of bourgeois architecture. The symmetrical, three-storey building stands on a base of cut stone equipped with basement windows. The combination of red brick and light-coloured stone underlines the regular shape of the tall window frames, fitted with louvred shutters and moulded lintels. The roof is punctuated by dormer windows while three tall, slender chimney stacks stand out from its silhouette. The building stands in the centre of a vast, almost 4,000-m² garden and is set back from the street behind a gate and small wall. To the rear, it opens onto a slightly sloping garden. There are several outbuildings requiring renovation set away to the side of the house. A rotunda style 19th-century veranda stands on the south-facing patio. A flight of stone steps, with well-pruned hedges on either side, leads up to the main entrance door. The property’s balanced structure and fine proportions have been preserved, making this sober edifice typical of the tastes of an era in which secondary homes had to combine distinction, comfort and openness to the surrounding landscape. Refurbishment work will be necessary but the edifice boasts remarkable potential for restoration.

A chateau with medieval origins and wooded grounds, built in the early Renaissance and nestled 1 hour and 30 minutes south-west of Paris. Once you have gone through the property’s main entrance gate, the chateau appears before you, standing out for its Renaissance style. In the inner court, the property is demarcated by the remains of a division of the chateau into two parts. Indeed, the chateau has gone through different historical periods up to the present day, apart from its western section, which has disappeared. The edifice has kept its hexagonal adjoining tower, which has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. The main side of this tower is made of rubble stone with rendering and quoins of limestone ashlar. A huge door of solid wood leads inside this tower. This door is fitted in a stone surround with a slightly arched top that bears the remains of a coat of arms – a characteristic of the late 15th century. Each level of the tower has stone-mullioned cross windows. The main section is positioned to the east of the hexagonal tower. It is similar in design to the tower. The court-side elevation is coated with rendering that leaves the rubble stonework slightly exposed. The garden-side elevation is completely rendered. Limestone ashlar forms the quoins and carved limestone forms the surrounds around the doors and the many stone-mullioned cross windows that punctuate the elevations. On the court side, a conservatory lies beside the entrance door. A flight of stone steps leads up to the entrance door. Above this door, there is a basket-handle arch crowned with a finely sculpted pinnacle. In this stone arch, there is a badge-shaped remnant of a coat of arms that was once displayed proudly here. This coat of arms was doubtless that of the chateau’s founders. In the garden-facing elevation, there is another entrance door of solid wood. A basket-handle arch also crowns this door. In the north-east corner of the main section, there is a round tower. It is the only remaining tower of the chateau’s four original round towers. The stonework of this tower’s base was recently restored. The edifice is crowned with a slate roof of two long slopes, punctuated with gabled dormers. Lastly, beside the chateau, there are outbuildings along the edge of the property. The wooded grounds are enclosed with walls and fences.

Outside, the grounds covering 12,700m² combine expanses of lawn with woodland. This lush outdoor area surrounds the house. The grounds are partly sloping and extend mostly on the house’s south side. They are dotted with many trees of different kinds. There is also a heated swimming pool in the garden. This pool is 12 metres long and 5 metres wide.
