Revisited farmhouse with architect’s extension and view of the Normandy countryside

Close to Forges les Eaux, this Norman farmhouse type property enjoys an ideal location at the crossroads of Rouen, the coast and Paris.

In addition to its favorable geographical location, this “good of expression” does not lack assets for followers of contemporary in the countryside.

Probably dating from the 18th century, the set has a renovated main house of 265 m², on a plot of 14,000 m², offering both pastures, an unrenovated barn and outbuilding, in good condition and a landscaped garden.

Completely renovated, great care has been given to this achievement for a look that is both cozy and unusual.
The charm of the old was preserved, while giving pride of place to a contemporary rewriting assumed.
The strong asset of the house is thus perceived from the entrance.
The visitor instantly discovers a tray bathed in light, punctuated by its essential “Glass Box”, as its owners like to call it. And for good reason, this extension is an architectural success, like a suspended box, punctuated by bay windows and offering a captivating panorama on the hilly spaces.

The In et Out effect is also a strong bias and results in the continuity of the wooden floor inside and outside the architecture.
A vast kitchen created by a renowned kitchen designer, both designer and user-friendly, ensures the continuity of this tray in perfect consistency.
Finally, a lounge area is concentrated with more privacy around a pellet stove, nestled in its original fireplace.

A parental suite, with dressing room, shower room and as a bonus a private access to the terrace, completes this ground floor.

At the other end, there are the technical rooms, boiler room, laundry room and guest entrance.
Two staircases on either side of the building lead to a large attic floor, where three bathrooms follow one another, four bedrooms, some are communicating but can just as easily benefit from independent access.

50 km from the coast, 150 km from Paris, 30 minutes from Rouen, and 10 minutes from all shops, schools and places of leisure, this explosive property combines authenticity, design and practicality.

Don’t we at Espaces Atypiques say that “the banal is the enemy of the good”?

Definitely, this property is not trivial, to the delight of its future buyers.
