Ref. 4429 - Elegant dwelling on the outskirts of Mortagne au Perche
This elegant dwelling is located on the outskirts of the legendary towns of Bellême and Mortagne, symbols of the renowned Perche region, the Parc Naturel Régional of which they are the emblematic representatives. Sheltered from view, under the discreet and benevolent eye of one of the region's historic jewels, backing onto a peaceful country road just a few leagues from a bustling market town, the property enjoys an unobstructed, commanding view over the Huisne valley and its undeniably charming wooded and hedged landscapes.
The daily requirements can be met on foot for the more courageous, or by bicycle for the more contemplative, by safely using the ‘green lane’ located on the outskirts of the property.
Ideally situated in the heart of the so-called ‘golden triangle’, where 3 medium-sized towns radiate outwards, providing not only all the services and shops you need for everyday life, but also a wealth of cultural, tourist and sporting activities, thanks to an active network of associations, this property offers the perfect setting for those seeking well-being and serenity.
Welcome to the bewitching Perche ...., where you can't get enough of Orne....
The property comprises a main building, flanked by two outbuildings set at right angles to one another, forming a landscaped courtyard of honour, where a large ‘remarkable’ weeping willow stands proudly.
The main building is made of ashlar and rubble stone with lime pointing, topped with a 4-sided tiled roof. The outbuildings are of the same design, creating a certain harmony and featuring numerous perfectly proportioned windows in the pure spirit of the 18th century.
The main building is typical of Percheron dwellings, built over 3 stories, one of which is a vaulted basement.
Modest in size but perfectly optimised, the main dwelling spans a floor surface area of around 150 sqm, distributed as follows :
GROUND FLOOR : raised central entrance hall, accessed via a stone stairway, leading to a 35 sqm lounge with a single fireplace, paved with period floor tiles and featuring an elegant joist ceiling. Wooden staircase. Ceiling height of 1.88 m.
On the right-hand side, access to a small 22 sqm lounge, also with a fireplace (not in use as it is used to pipe the boiler). Wooden floor, exposed joists and lime-pointed walls. Ceiling height of 1.88 m.
Opening onto a beautiful 22sqm wooden terrace facing south-east, with a dominant view over the garden and the distant Perche hills.
On the left, a 12 sqm fitted kitchen, adjoining a utility room with a shower (5 sqm) and a separate toilet (1 sqm). Ceiling height of 1.88 m.
FIRST FLOOR : Landing with a corridor used as a study/recreation area separating 3 bedrooms, including 2 twins on the north side, and a bedroom with a washbasin and shower on the south-east side. Beautiful exposed oak roof frame.
- Separate modern tiled bathroom with shower.
- Separate WC on the landing.
BASEMENT : access to a large vaulted room (32 sqm)
- Concrete slab floor
- Water/electricity
- Electric heating
- Currently used as a bedroom and linen room.
- Central ceiling height of 1.90 m.
- Adjoining boiler room (23 sqm).
The property comprises 2 outbuildings facing each other.
OUTBUILDING 1 : Approximately 50 m long by 7 m wide, built of rubble stone with a tiled roof.
Work is currently under way to create additional accommodation of approximately 100 m² on 2 levels. The plans include a first room with a corridor leading to a machine room, WC, shower room and bedroom. To be followed by another room comprising a kitchen and a lounge. Staircase (in place).
On the first floor, there is a modular layout with either 2 bedrooms with shower + lounge/office, or 2 large bedrooms with shower. Cathedral’ roof frame.
Progress of work :
- Concrete slab
- Water/electricity reservations
- Stairs
- Wooden panels upstairs
- Sanitation in place
- Window frames
- Beginning of insulation (plasterboard)
- Estimated finishing cost: around €100,000.
Next, a large, unfinished, cathedral-shaped space measuring 9.75 x 7.20 m, with a clay floor. Used as a storeroom. A barn of the same dimensions (9 x 7 m) on a clay floor with an opening onto the gardens. A former stable (7 x 4.75 m) with a ‘field’ stone floor and an opening to the gardens.
OUTBUILDING 2 : Situated opposite the first outbuilding, of more modest size (20 x 7 m), and divided into 4 sections. Rubble stone and dressed stone, under a tiled roof.
Former wine press (8 x 7 m) with part of the machinery still in place. Used as a garage. Cathedral’ shape.
Store room (4x7m) - paved floor; attic on the main building.
Former bread oven (2.45x3m). Low ceilings.
Gutters.
Small storeroom (3.80x2.80m) - Stone slab floor. Low ceilings. Gutters present.
External parking close to outbuilding 2 for 3 cars + planning permission granted for another car park on the northern edge of the road.
While the sober, pure proportions of the buildings reflect the classicism of the 18th century, the gardens add all the charm and elegance that was lacking. The landscaping has been carefully thought out and organised, leaving nothing to chance and contributing fully to the beauty of the site. From the purchase in 2017 to the present day, the owner's creativity has made it possible to replace concrete with lawn and earth with flowerbeds, in a magnificently mastered English-style layout.
Numerous beds adorn every corner, interspersing tulips, peonies, agapanthus, dahlias, roses, impatiens, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, lilies, bellflowers and euphorbias....under the watchful eyes of oaks, maples, walnut trees, birch trees, catalpas, liquidambars, willows and laurel trees....and watched over by hedges of hornbeam.
The fruit trees are not to be outdone, with apple, pear, cherry, peach and plum trees....
The main garden, located to the south-east, slopes gently downwards, affording a distant view of lush, unspoilt countryside. The area enjoys complete privacy, with no nuisances to disturb the calm. High stone walls conceal the only neighbouring property at its furthest point, ensuring there are no overlooked neighbours.
The whole complex covers 1,78 acres (0,72 ha) of land.
A corner of paradise...2 hours from Paris...
