In Normandy, 1 hour and 10 minutes from Paris, in a landscaped and enclosed garden, an old mill transformed into a family home, with outbuildings and a millstream. The mill occupies the center of a garden of approximately 7000 m², elevated compared to the river. Mostly enclosed by stone walls or solid grids on low walls, punctuated by pillars, it is protected by dense vegetation and its millstream on the remaining part. Access is via a small communal road, which forms a bridge over the watercourse. From a large wrought iron gate, a gravel path distributes access to the various buildings. Immediately on one side, there is a residential house of about 60 m², with half-timbered walls and a gabled roof of flat tiles. A wing returning at right angles includes three garages, one of which is closed. The main dwelling stands a little further away. It develops around 500 m² with eight bedrooms and three bathrooms. The central body, topped with a slate gabled roof, is raised six levels, including one basement level. Under an imposing Virginia creeper, the façade in brick, facing southeast, features three slightly arched openings on each floor. Protected by white shutters, they are complemented by pierced wrought iron railings. Two wings extend the building. The first, on two levels, is built of millstone grit, under a Mansard roof. The second, raised three levels including one in the attic, forms a slight curve. At the end of the driveway, there are two outbuildings and a greenhouse. At the back of the main building, once the millstream is crossed by one of the wooden footbridges, the northwest façade exposes its monumental foundations, which root in the clear, flowing water. Attached to the central body, above the water, an original extension houses the mill's machinery. It is topped by vast terraces accessible from inside the dwelling. The garden is lush and extends on the other side of the road, where a sluice system and a gazebo are installed on two islets.This description has been automatically translated from French.
