The semi-basement

The semi-basement have been entirely converted. It includes a utility room, a boiler room, a workshop, a wine cellar, a former cold room and a series of storerooms. You reach it through different doors from the front and back gardens or straight from inside the house.

The ground floor

The ground floor is arranged around a hallway, which is embellished with fine stained-glass windows. This hall connects to all the reception rooms. From the hall, a staircase takes you to the upper floors. There is a large dining room that has kept its painted wooden fireplace with a sculpted trumeau panel. The room’s richly ornamented ceiling features sumptuous paintwork, mouldings and golden acanthus leaves. From here, two glazed doors lead into a restored conservatory with a 42m² floor area. From this conservatory, you can admire the back garden. Beside the dining room there is a vast lounge with wood strip flooring, a marble fireplace and a ceiling with mouldings. Like the dining room, the lounge connects to the conservatory via a glazed double door. From the lounge, a finely designed door leads into a boudoir, which has been turned into a reading room and office. The fitted kitchen is modern in style and has a scullery.

The first floor

A broad corridor connects to six bedrooms and a modern shower room fitted with a two-washbasin unit, a glazed shower unit and a lavatory. Four of the bedrooms look out at the garden. The two others are at the front of the house, above the tall arched tunnel and the staircase that leads up from the hallway. The whole first floor has been renovated masterfully – both technically and decoratively.

The second floor

A central corridor, bathed in natural light from a skylight, runs through the second floor. It connects to eight bedrooms, which need to be renovated. These top bedrooms increase the house’s potential total number of bedrooms to 14.

The outbuildings

The outbuildings are tokens of the property’s rich past in industry and the automotive sector. Indeed, they once housed an engineering office and the first design workshop of the former French carmaker “Corre La Licorne”, which later became simply “La Licorne”. This manufacturer produced more than 33,000 vehicles, and more than 200 models, between 1901 and 1949. The first outbuilding needs to be entirely renovated. It is made of red brick. Its elevations display a frieze of enamelled flowers and two allegorical medallions that represent the sciences and the arts respectively. On the ground floor there is a 50m² room with herringbone parquet, a coffered ceiling and a fireplace that bears the coat of arms of the carmaker’s founders. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms. The second outbuilding, also made of red brick, includes a 43m² garage workshop and two rooms that need to be renovated.

The garden

The walled garden is mainly made up of a lawn. It hides a historical surprise: a German blockhouse from the Second World War. Today, this blockhouse is adorned with ivy. This blockhouse illustrates the role the property played during the German occupation of France. Two doors lead inside the blockhouse, which offers an 11m² floor area. You could use it for all kinds of original projects or practical purposes.
