This 18th century residence was for a long time the home of a family of famous chemists and tanners of the region. Its current owners have been able to renovate this property while preserving its original character while giving it a delicate contemporary note and modern comfort, spread over 3 buildings communicating with each other. No sooner is the majestic wrought-iron gate pushed out than a delightful garden, landscaped and shaped with passion, throws a first breath of escape in the face. Entering the property through the main hall, the trompe l'oeil paintings imitating natural stone to perfection, including keystones and false irregularities, attract the visitor's attention and already say a lot about the attention to detail. A living room with a marble fireplace and herringbone parquet flooring, extending into the adjoining dining room, invites you to continue the discovery of these bright rooms with 3-metre high ceilings. Adorned with period windows and facing south, the living room opens onto the garden where squirrels and hedgehogs, real mascots of the property, rub shoulders. A judiciously placed desk takes advantage of the same exhibition in a row. Following on from the dining room, a kitchen and its scullery made of cement tiles will be the ideal landmark for simmering small dishes to share with family or friends. The ground floor is completed by direct access to a beautiful converted cellar that will seduce epicureans. On the first floor, 3 large bedrooms (16, 23 and 25 m2; two of them can be combined into a family suite) tastefully decorated continue to diffuse this feeling of well-being and serenity. Each with its own shower room, they use noble materials such as terracotta tiles and pitchpine parquet floors. A 4th bedroom of 24m2 with toilet just as neat, completes the floor. A few flights up, the second floor gives access to a living room of 17m2 and 2 magnificent bedrooms of 38 and 43 m2 with independent bathrooms. The project manager was able to take advantage of the high ceilings to highlight the incredible frameworks, true architectural works of art. Back on the ground floor and communicating on the same level with the main building, access to the Orangery is via a large bedroom with bathroom allowing you to live completely independently. This vast room (25 m2) opens onto the delightful vegetable garden, a real postcard inspiring the sweetness of life. A natural well will supply water, fruit and vegetables to the garden. The Orangery, as well as the adjoining small kitchen and dining room, are clad in real Burgundy stone with cabochons laid with care and patience by the owner herself. Finally, on the other side of the main house, the former leather store (2 x 130m2 on the ground): the ground floor consists of a "shop" space that can be easily rearranged, an independent studio and a boiler room (Brötje boiler with 500 litre tank). The attic floor is bare and clean, ready to be fitted out according to your needs. A covered garage that can accommodate one car completes this exceptional property, a true haven of peace located in the heart of the pleasant town of Verneuil-sur-Avre (shops 300 meters away), 1h30 from Paris by car or train (Verneuil station 1km away) and 2km from the famous Ecole des Roches. A large family home, a bed and breakfast, a liberal profession, a small business, this magnificent residence will lend itself to all uses while constantly distilling this pleasant feeling of living outside of time. Isn't it said at Espaces Arabes, that "the banal is the enemy of the good"? Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Geohazards website: ...
