Location
The market town is in the French department of Loiret, 120 km from Paris, 110 km of which is via the A6/A77 motorways or the N7. The train station, with links to Paris, is 10 km away. Vimory aerodrome is 5 km away. Orléans is 60 km away. The biggest French national forest, spanning 35,000 ha, is just a stone’s throw away. Amongst the region’s architectural heritage gems, the 78 km long Orléans Canal crosses the small town with its 1,400 inhabitants. The waterway was constructed in the late 17th century to carry merchandise and firewood to Paris. It has therefore linked the Loire Basin to that of the Seine for more than 200 years.
Description
The large, luxurious home
This residence is a perfect example of 19th century architecture which worshipped symmetry. But functionality takes precedence over ornamentation. This classical style residence spans a total floor surface area of 412 m² and has ceilings between 3 and 3.42 m high. Its three levels are partially constructed over a vaulted cellar. The stone facades are covered in a sandy-coloured rendering. The central building, five bays wide, is flanked by two pavilions. Dressed stone frames the numerous openings and forms the cornices. The wooden-framed windows, with wrought iron railings, can be closed using slatted wooden shutters. The entrance doors have doorsteps. The hip and gable roofs, covered with slate, feature several hinged skylights and Jacobin-style roof dormers.
The outbuildings
These are a traditional, long, rectangular farmhouse which has been restored and divided into two sections. The total floor surface area is approx. 110 m². The guest house, spanning 76 m², comprises a study, a kitchen, two bedrooms as well as a shower room and toilet. It is followed by a woodshed and a small storage room. The beams have been left exposed. The floors are all covered with old terracotta tiles. Each room has a fireplace and a cast iron radiator. The outside walls are rendered. The framing around the openings is composed of brick. The gable roof, covered with flat tiles, features roof dormers.
The old stables
This rectangular building spans a floor surface area of approx. 198 m² over two levels. Constructed from stone, it has a gable roof covered with flat tiles. It features a gable roof dormer and several skylights. All the windows have brick framing and look out sideways over the central garden.
Our opinion
Provided that its constitutive ingredients, such as symmetry, pediments, panelling, cornices and moulding, are respected, a certain classicism is the basis of liberty. It authorises all daring as here, for instance, where colours and contemporary furniture are quite at home together. The outbuildings, in a more regionalist style that includes brick profile and contours, in no way detract from the beauty of the residence. New owners will feel at ease, both here and in the parklands, which are like a sample of this airy, wooded region, with its temperate climate, within easy reach of the French capital.
