Ref.4382 : French townhouse with a beautiful garden for sale.
The estate is located in the heart of a town with a population of 4,800, nestled in a rich and diverse region that begins in the Brie and blossoms in the Champagne region.
The south-west Marnais is a region of hillsides and vineyards (the Coteaux Sézannais have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015), forests and marshes, between valleys and plains, wrapped around a charming medieval town that has become a Petite Cité de Caractère®: Sézanne.
All amenities are on site. Local shops, supermarkets, cinema, hospital, several schools from nursery to A-levels.
On the ground floor: a large entrance hall welcomes visitors. To the left is a bedroom and bathroom as well as a pantry leading to the back stairway.
On the garden side is a study, followed by the orangery, a large reception room with a magnificent vaulted chalk cellar beneath.
On the street side, a second bedroom and a toilet.
The 'beautiful floor' is on the first floor with its high ceilings. It comprises adjoining reception rooms on either side of the library, the real heart of the house. Dining room, kitchen, large and small lounges, 2 bedrooms and their bathrooms.
The back staircase is accessed via the kitchen and leads to the second floor with a bedroom and shower room.
The grand staircase leads to the second floor with a sixth bedroom and bathroom. A small lounge upholstered in toile de Jouy leads to the puppet theatre inspired by the decor of the Garnier Opera House in Paris.
Finally, a large attic could be converted as required.
Living space: approx. 390 sqm.
The outbuildings include :
- Two pavilions at the bottom of the garden. One has been converted into a summer kitchen. The other is a boudoir with a fireplace, ideal for relaxing with a good book.
- Hidden between the centuries-old trees, a cool grotto (a shell nymphaeum) offers a magical refuge from the summer heat.
From the street, you enter the property from the courtyard. A paved courtyard, typical of eighteenth-century private mansions, embellished with a rose garden of white roses and an avenue of palms, box and yew trees.
On the other side, the garden with its magnificent boxwood embroidery. It took 1,200 boxwood plants to create it. This is the centrepiece of the garden, inspired by the Treatise of Argenville, an 18th-century landscape gardener and collaborator of André Le Nôtre. The axis of the garden is laid out in the French style, with English-style flowerbeds to accommodate a variety of living plants.
Two ponds complete the enchanting harmony of the setting. There's an air of Versailles about this residence in the heart of town...
Total surface area: approx. 764 sqm.
