Exceptional Château in Normandy – Just 2 Hours from Paris
Rare opportunity: Located only 130 km from Paris, at the gateway to Normandy, this exceptional 17th-century château, set within nearly 6 hectares of landscaped grounds, embodies French elegance and refinement.
A privileged setting
In the heart of the Pays d’Ouche, between Eure and Orne, the property benefits from a preserved and verdant environment. A majestic 300-metre tree-lined driveway leads to the château and its annexes, offering a unique and prestigious atmosphere from the very first approach.
The château
Built in 1630 and subsequently remodelled in the 19th century, the château is set on a crawl space (no humidity issues) and offers approx. 650 m2 of living space, with 27 rooms across three levels.
Ground floor: The private living quarters are mainly on this level (with two additional bedrooms upstairs). Refreshing works are to be expected (painting, ceilings, and ground-floor electrics).
An entrance hall (6 m2) opens onto the east façade, while a second entrance leads to a bright 30 m2 glazed gallery with wooden staircase. The ground floor includes: A 24 m2 office with parquet flooring, a 30 m2 laundry room, an 11 m2 utility room with WC, a 29 m2 parquet-floored salon with marble fireplace and moulded ceiling, a second 32 m2 office, a 29 m2 dining room with Renaissance fireplace (with original cast-iron radiators and terracotta floor tiles dating from 1630), a 21 m2 kitchen with piano (to refurbish), a boiler room (8 m2, with two 200L and two 400L tanks). The gallery leads to a 17 m2 library. Ceiling height: 2.80 m.
First floor: 8 bedrooms (6 guest rooms: 15–28–27–22–16–15 m2, and 2 private bedrooms: 31 and 15 m2), 6 with en-suite bathrooms and WCs, plus an independent shower room and a dressing room. Parquet flooring throughout, tiled bathrooms.
Second floor: 2 bedrooms (24 and 28 m2) with en-suite bathrooms, plus a third bedroom (9.5 m2) with separate shower room. A gallery distributes the rooms. Potential to add 5 additional bedrooms (electrics and plumbing already installed).
The château features two square towers elegantly topped with four-sided roofs, built in traditional flint with brick surrounds.
Works to be anticipated in the château: Decorative refurbishment of the ground-floor walls and ceilings, together with the modernisation and layout of the kitchen area.
