This warm central space features a fireplace insert, an essential element for enhancing the convivial atmosphere of this period home.

A 15.48 m² veranda harmoniously extends the living spaces and provides access to an additional living room, a boiler room, and a separate WC. This intermediate space creates a pleasant transition between indoors and outdoors, while also providing ample natural light.

The two bedrooms at either end each have a washbasin, adding a rare comfort for this type of period property. A second bathroom of 4.64 m² completes this floor, facilitating family life.

Outside, this property benefits from an exceptional setting. The carefully landscaped grounds are home to numerous fruit trees: cherry trees, flowering cherry trees, apple trees, and grapevines all contribute to the natural charm of the location. The 80 m² south-facing terrace provides a true outdoor living space, ideal for enjoying sunny days.

At the far end of the garden, the Eure River creates a unique and highly desirable atmosphere. A small pond completes this setting, offering a privileged location for nature lovers, those seeking relaxation, or anglers.

The outbuildings are a major additional asset: a former carpentry workshop, a small mechanical workshop dedicated to gardening, and a double garage of approximately 35 m² offer numerous possibilities for personal, craft, or storage use.

The main heating is provided by a gas boiler with an underground tank. The individual sanitation system operates via a septic tank with a drain field, currently slightly non-compliant.

The house is immediately habitable, requiring only minor updates or modernisation depending on your plans. The reinforced windows and doors with security glazing provide a particularly high level of comfort and security.
