DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING
The property (360 sqm – 3,874 sqft, 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) occupies the ground and mezzanine floors of what was once the stables serving the nearby manor house. The property has been finely renovated and converted into a luxury private residence with fine finishes and refined elements.

The lower floor is entirely taken up by the living area, consisting of an entrance hall with a canopy, a reception hall with three large windows overlooking the garden, the kitchen, a service bathroom, an elegant dining room with vaulted ceilings, the laundry room with adjoining ironing area, and a bedroom with bathroom that can serve both as a janitor's quarters and as a private space for guests. At the back, the kitchen exits to a small paved courtyard (14 sqm – 151 sqft) that is also very suitable as an outdoor dining area.

From the reception hall, a few steps lead up to the mezzanine level to a central private space that connects to two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets, and a large gallery overlooking the hall below. From the loft, a French window opens onto a private terrace overlooking the garden (17 sqm – 183 sqft).

The property is accessed through a shared entrance with other dwellings that leads to the private parking area (140 sqm) where two cars can be safely left.

From the common area, a second gate opens to the private garden (850 sqm), decorated with paved walkways, ornamental plants and an elegant fountain. The trees surrounding the garden provide great privacy and confidentiality, sheltering the house from prying eyes.
