Manor house for sale, Villeblevin, 15 rooms, 480 m², ref 87395400

Between Sens and Fontainebleau, an elegant manor house and its recently renovated outbuildings

At the heart of a thriving village, this late 18th-century manor opens onto an elegant entrance courtyard, the gateway to extensive grounds of some three acres (1.2 hectares).

The house is distinguished by the quality of its materials — dressed brick quoins and banding, stone window surrounds, a slate roof, while the outbuildings are no less full of character.

The layout lends itself equally well to the life of a large family and to mixed use: welcoming guests, entertaining, or practising a profession from home. The property has frequently been run as a bed and breakfast, as holiday cottages or as an artists' residence, providing its owners with a valuable additional source of income. The outbuildings, entirely renovated, offer a wealth of further space to accommodate the most varied of projects.

Beyond the architectural elegance characteristic of the finest French manor houses, its setting ranks among its principal assets. Standing at the heart of the village and adjoining the park of a château, it enjoys a privileged environment, equidistant from Fontainebleau and Sens, with a railway station close at hand providing the link to Paris.
