House in La Crèche

COUNTRY PROPERTY

In a charming village with a school and school bus service, this 264 sq m (2,875 sq ft) manor house has been restored while retaining its original features. Built on three levels, it boasts reception rooms with fireplaces and high ceilings, four bedrooms, a shower room, and a bathroom. The 4,000 sq m (43,000 sq ft) walled garden includes outbuildings, notably a small 17th-century house which, once restored, could be transformed into a property of your own.

On the ground floor, the entrance hall, paved with stone, leads to the living room with chestnut parquet flooring and a fireplace, the dining room with exposed beams, stone flooring, and a fireplace, the eat-in kitchen with tiled flooring and a mezzanine with parquet flooring under the sloping ceiling, the utility room with tiled flooring, and the boiler room/laundry room/workshop, with a concrete slab floor.

On the first floor, the landing with laminate oak parquet flooring leads to a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a bedroom with oak parquet flooring, a shower room with tiled flooring, and a separate WC with tiled flooring.

On the second floor, the parquet-floored landing serves as an office. It leads to a large bedroom/dormitory or artist’s studio and a large bedroom/office/living room, also with parquet flooring.

The house is heated by an air-to-water heat pump (installed in 2004), supplemented by a gas boiler (with an underground tank) for very cold days. Wastewater is handled by a septic tank.
The property has fiber optic internet access.
All roofs are in excellent condition.
