Our opinion
An impressive building dominating the valley with numerous south-facing doors and windows; the rooms are, consequently, filled with an extraordinary luminosity, making this an extremely pleasant home to live in.
The inside has been restored in perfect harmony with the numerous decorative period features such as the superb carved wooden fireplaces.
Its proximity to Paris with a motorway exit just over 9 miles away is a much sought-after asset.
This property could equally well be a principal or a second residence.
