Ref. 4512: Elegant dwelling for sale near Verneuil-sur-Avre, in the Eure department.

At the gateway to Normandy, adjoining the Perche and the Pays d'Ouche at the southernmost tip of the Eure department, set apart from a small, friendly hamlet, stands an elegant residence dating from the great century, the last remaining testimony to an exceptional neighbouring heritage site to which it was annexed.
Set in a dominant position in century-old parklands planted with trees, this property divides its space rationally, leaving the harmonious outbuildings, now converted into gites, in the distance, next door to the noble stables. The nearby main roads provide easy access to shops and everyday services, with the capital just over a hundred kilometres away.

This property exudes an undeniable charm and is ideal for family life, offering a range of activities to suit the most diverse requirements of its future guests. Whether you're a city dweller longing for the countryside, a semi-country dweller looking for a new home or a horse-riding enthusiast....., this property could be yours!
