Beautiful character house with barn and large wooded garden

Belle maison de caractère avec grange et grand jardin arboré

In a village on the banks of the Marne, between Ferté sous Jouarre and Lizy sur Ourcq, this 225m2 house and its lush 2000m2 garden reveal a very special charm which captivates the visitor upon entry. Once past the iron gate, you enter a beautiful and vast courtyard with trees and flowers, with a large barn on the left which serves as a garage and shed, a paved terrace adjoining the entrance, a stone pond and its fountain and in the background, the facade of the house covered with Virginia creeper, rose bushes and honeysuckle. A fig tree and a generous apple tree frame it on either side. We have barely taken a step inside when the tone is set. The rustic is assumed and highlighted, without embellishment, giving the whole a warm and comforting character. The large living room is divided into two spaces – lounge and dining room-office and decorated with exposed beams, square Sienna-colored tiles, an open fireplace highlighted by a beautiful old brick wall, a wooden staircase solid, brick and terracotta, whitewashed walls and a beautiful bay window opening onto the exuberant garden at the back. A door and its few steps lead there. Adjoining the living room, the kitchen keeps the same tone with its green limed beams, its cream tiles with Sienna cabochons and its gray paneling. It has access to the courtyard and its window above the sink also allows you to escape into the garden. A room clad in wood hides the boiler. Continuing on, a large through room with dry toilets and a room above all in stone and frame remain to be fitted out and can become independent accommodation. The first floor consists of a long corridor with half-timbering and limed beams which leads to the bedrooms. A first bedroom with parquet flooring with a view of the courtyard and a loft feel, a second half-timbered bedroom, parquet flooring, large cupboards and whitewashed walls and a third bedroom. At the very end, a large bathroom decorated with cement tiles has a walk-in shower, a cast iron claw-foot bathtub and a blue stone basin on an antique cabinet. A toilet and a laundry area complete this level. Two small limed stone staircases and oak stair nosings lead to the attic converted into three rooms in a row with double exposure, decorated with skylights and large cupboards with sliding doors in the bases, which can serve as bedrooms with living room with bathroom games in the middle. The landscaped garden, which we immediately feel has been maintained with respect for the living, is rich in a multitude of abundant and fertile species and plants, including apple trees, a quince tree, an Atlas cedar or a red eucalyptus. . In the middle, a fish and frog pond covered with water lilies, further on a lovely second stone pond which serves as a watering hole for the multitude of birds who have taken up residence in this little paradise, all in a peaceful and bucolic surrounding countryside. , in short, we are as if bewitched by this laughing nature. Finally, its advantageous location between two small towns allows easy access to all amenities, including access to Paris by the Transilien P. This house with its powerful charm and enchanting garden will be ideal for a family as a primary or secondary residence.
