Mortagne-au-Perche, La Basse Normandie 61400

A grand house from the 1900s with a cottage, both of which have been fully renovated, nestled in a village in France's beautiful Perche area, an hour and a half from Paris. The property includes a grand house, a self-contained cottage, a garage and a storehouse. They are spread out in a walled garden. A majestic entrance gate leads from the road into the court of the grand house. This court takes you to the house's flight of front steps. A magnificent canopy of glass and steel, finely decorated with volutes that support it, extends above the entrance door. This large canopy seems to rise up into the sky. The rectangular edifice has a ground floor, a first floor and a second and third floor in the roof space. The grand dwelling offers a 550m floor area in total. It is crowned with a slate roof punctuated with dormers and bull's-eye windows. Beneath a cornice that runs along the top of the first floor, there are large windows capped with pediments sculpted directly in the stone. Inside, the rooms are spacious and well laid out. There are fireplaces in each room. Oak parquet and oak strip flooring extend across the rooms and the ceilings are underlined with cornices. The property's hosting capacity is considerable, with 11 bedrooms in the grand house (ten of which have their own private shower room and lavatory) and two extra bedrooms in the cottage, which offers a 90m floor area. The garage, which is set back, can house several vehicles. And a little further away there is a storehouse.
