ManorTournan-en-Brie (77)

A grand house steeped in history, nestled in the village of Ozouer-le-Voulgis in France’s Seine-et-Marne department, just 40 minutes from Paris by rail or road. The grand 19th-century house stands in the middle of tree-dotted grounds in the village of Ozouer-le-Voulgis. Its elevations are coated with rendering and it is crowned with a hipped roof of tiles. The dwelling has kept its historical features. An entrance gate leads into a gravel court lined with trees, which creates a natural enclosure. The edifice faces north-east. Its grounds extend on its south side. Climbing ivy coats its walls. Louvred shutters painted green bring out the surrounding greenery. An outer stone wall separates the property from the road, preserving the place’s absolute calm. The interior showcases old craftsmanship. On the ground floor, the cement tiles of the hallway adjoin, on one side, the large lounge’s chevron parquet, mouldings and marble fireplace and, on the other side, a living room with a marble fireplace. This living room leads to an oval dining room with fine woodwork and a so-called Prussian fireplace – a fireplace built into the wall with an integrated plate-warming compartment – that bears witness to the French art of living that shaped this home. The kitchen lies in an extension that is more modern. A secondary corridor discreetly links it to the entrance hall. The reception rooms face south and are bathed in natural light. They offer an unrivalled view of the tree-dotted grounds. A majestic wooden staircase with a wrought-iron balustrade invites you to venture upstairs. The first floor offers, on one side, two bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms. And, on the other side, there is a private bathroom with a walk-in wardrobe and a utility room. This first floor continues the elegance of the ground floor with solid-wood strip flooring and marble fireplaces. Some parts upstairs have been worn by time and require special attention. They are not heated and have suffered from water damage. The second floor has wood strip flooring and fireplaces. It offers five bedrooms and an office. The top floor has a rustic character and is waiting to be showcased with its exposed roof frame and terracotta floor tiles. This roof space is filled with natural light from dormers with oval windows that look down over the grounds.

Manor Brie-Comte-Robert (77)

Ref.4442 : French chateau to restore for sale near Paris. This manor house is ideally located in the town centre of a small rural commune near Brie-Comte-Robert in the Seine-et-Marne region. All local shops are within walking distance. Buses run to nearby towns, including Melun, where regular trains take you to Paris in 25 minutes. Schools from nursery to collège are on site. From the street, a large wooden gate plunges you into the grounds of the manor house. The cobblestones that once adorned the courtyard have long since been hidden by vegetation and are eagerly awaiting the sun's rays once again. The surrounding buildings form four sides of a square, aligned with the points of the compass. The manor house and its main rooms are to the west. It is flanked by several circular turrets, clad in red and white brick, with horizontal bands that add a dynamic visual effect. These turrets give the building a feudal appearance, reminiscent of the architecture of castles and aristocratic residences. The roofs of the manor house reflect the eclecticism typical of 19th-century Romantic architecture, covered in flat tiles, slate and zinc. The ground floor is entered through a wooden door decorated with wrought-iron motifs and protected by an elegant canopy. A cement-tiled corridor leads, on the right, to a kitchen with its large stone fireplace and various storerooms. Opposite, the wooden staircase and to the left, three adjoining lounges. After the lounges, the south wing houses a toilet in its tower, followed by a small lounge, another entrance hall, a bathroom and a greenhouse. On the first floor, there are around fifteen bedrooms and a bathroom that opens onto a terrace. An attic. On the second floor, a large bedroom and a 120 sqm attic. The total living area is around 900sqm. The outbuildings include : On the east wing, between the courtyard and the street, a caretaker's cottage with, on the ground floor, a lounge and a kitchen, and upstairs, two adjoining bedrooms and a bathroom. Stables with 4 enclosed boxes. An orangery. To the north, various premises used as a garage, fruit store and workshop. The manor house stands in grounds of around 7,000 sqm, which are also derelict. Hidden beneath the vegetation, you can see old buildings such as a gazebo, a dovecote and a kennel. According to the current owners, there was an underground passage linking the manor house to the gazebo. Access to it is nowhere to be seen. Like the rest of the property, it will take passion, patience and courage to restore it, but it's well worth the effort. With the sun shining through it from sunrise to sunset, and with its large windows opening onto the garden, the manor house will offer an exceptional living environment to whoever adopts it.

Manor Melun (77)

A remarkable manor house to be restored, with an orangery, outbuildings and bucolic grounds, nestled in France’s Seine-et-Marne department, one hour from Paris. An imposing wooden gate leads into the property. This entrance gate takes you into the paved main courtyard, which is surrounded by the manor house, the orangery and the stable. The remarkable architecture of this complex is unique. The complex is made up of a main section with a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. This section is crowned with a mansard roof, which suggests that this part dates back to the 18th century. On its west side, there is an adjoining tower with a suspended balcony that looks down over the whole complex. In the court’s south-west corner, a round tower with brickwork and white stone is crowned with a cone roof. It links the main section to a south wing that lies at a right angle to the main section. This wing has a pavilion with a hipped roof. It also includes a gallery with a roof terrace edged with low walls of terracotta openwork. This gallery connects to the orangery. At the north end of the main section, there is an octagonal tower made of brick. This adjoining tower brings a certain symmetry and harmony to the whole complex. The north wing has elevations of rendering that coats its stonework. It also has touches of red brickwork, which forms the lintels and some of its quoins and window and door surrounds. The wing stretches on either side of a central avant-corps, through which a covered passageway runs from the courtyard into the grounds. On the east side of this avant-corps there is a stable and another part of the manor house. Upon the north, west and south sections of this remarkable complex, the roofs, which have slate tiles, flat tiles and zinc coverings, are diverse in shape and are punctuated with dormers and chimney stacks. The other outbuildings include a kennel and a henhouse, which are now disused, as well as storehouses. They stand north of the complex. Lastly, on the south side, a rocky outcrop houses a former icehouse. The ruins of a folly lie upon it. The manor house belonged to Harriet Howard (1823–1865), a British socialite and actress and a mistress of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte (1808–1873) – the future Napoleon III. Indeed, she was his main financial backer.

To the south, a patio opens onto a lawn and the rest of the grounds. The construction, organised around a main building characterised by its Anglo-Norman style, is framed to the east by a round tower, to the west by a square tower, and has three floors built over a basement level. The façades are adorned with half-timbering and brickwork patterns, while the roof consists of small flat tiles.
