Situated just a few kilometers from the Belgian border, in the center of a pleasant tourist commune in the heart of the Avesnois park, this beautiful manor house, once a love gift from a Grand de France to his beloved, was built in 1840 on the remains of an ancient medieval chateau destroyed during the French Revolution. A few moats, still filled with water, and a 17th-century longère, once used as a carriage house and weapons room, remain from this historic past. Now completely renovated to the highest standards by master craftsmen and Compagnons du devoir, the property offers a level of comfort and convenience that makes this large family home an exceptional place to live. Set in 2,200 sqm of parkland with completely restored surrounding walls, this manor house has a living area of approx. 417 sqm and is divided into three parts. On the ground floor, the main building comprises an entrance hall leading to a reception room and a study. A corridor leads to a very large, luminous living room with an imposing fireplace, and opens onto a large, fully-equipped kitchen area. Toilet facilities by Philippe Starck complete the ensemble. On the firts floor, a large landing leads to a bedroom with a fireplace and numerous cupboards, and a white marble bathroom. The same landing leads to a second bedroom and bathroom, a decorated bathroom suite, a complete dressing room and a library. The second floor is divided between a new suite, comprising bedroom and bathroom, and a gym. The second part of the manor house is adjoined by the original longère, comprising a first independent apartment, comprising an entrance hall, a lounge, dining room and kitchen, and a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, as well as two refurbished apartments, unoccupied and just waiting to be decorated. Finally, the central courtyard, paved with period cobblestones and opening onto the park, leads to an outbuilding comprising a summer kitchen and garage, making up the third and final part of the property. Entirely renovated to a very high standard, this manor house is in perfect condition and needs no further work. Its privileged location in the heart of the village gives immediate access to nearby shops and services, while enjoying the unspoilt natural surroundings of the regional park.
