Location
The property is tucked away beside the village of Bazoches-sur-Guyonne in France’s Yvelines department. The town of Montfort-l'Amaury and Méré train station, on line N on the Paris regional rail network, are just a few minutes away from the village, which is surrounded by Rambouillet forest. Bazoches-sur-Guyonne is typical of villages in the Île-de-France region around Paris. The village is 37 kilometres form Paris, which you can reach via the N12 trunk road. Houses, churches and old farms lie beside contemporary dwellings with vast gardens. This attractive area is drawing ever more Parisian families looking for space and tranquillity. There are also many schools and shops in the neighbouring towns and villages.
Description
The property, which covers around 3,500m², lies just outside the village. A lane runs alongside the property and leads to the forest. The plot is located on the edge of this forest. A hedge and a sliding gate hide the house, which is surrounded by a tree-dotted garden. The dwelling is set back from the road by around 20 metres. Just in front of the main door, there is an outdoor entrance area where several vehicles can be parked. A car shelter stands in this space too. The house dates back to 1976. It is built of pale ashlar. Its slate roof was entirely renovated in 2022. A vast terrace of exotic timber extends on the house’s west side. A heated swimming pool sits in this terrace. The pool is eight metres long and four metres wide and is fitted with a counter-current system. The terrace looks down at a sloping lawn. This commanding position underlines the impression of space on the property. And the garden is not at all overlooked, which also underlines the sense of space here.
The house
The house has a ground floor and a first floor. It faces east and west. An outdoor entrance area and parking space lie on the east side. When you enter the house, you step into a vast reception space with a cathedral ceiling. This space is punctuated with large windows that bathe the room in natural light. The flooring is made of marble. A guest lavatory and a cloakroom adjoin the lobby. The kitchen, dining area and lounge form an open space that you can move around smoothly. This open space faces the terrace, which is at the same level as it and leads to an extensive garden. The lounge is a sunken space that features a large fireplace and forms a warm, welcoming spot that is perfect for comforting fires in the winter. At the same level, there is a scullery, a pantry, a linen room and the main bedroom, which has a private bathroom, lavatory and walk-in wardrobe. This main bedroom also leads straight out to the terrace, which is at the same level as it, via large sliding windows that offer a sweeping view of the garden and forest. Upstairs, there is a large mezzanine edged with a timber balustrade. It looks down at the reception space. This mezzanine connects to three bedrooms with sloping attic ceilings and a bathroom. The largest bedroom has water inlets and outlets, so it could have its own en-suite bathroom. Wood-strip cladding covers the bedroom ceilings. And wood-strip flooring extends across this upstairs level.
Our opinion
Whether you use this property as a second home or a main dwelling, a strong sense of peace and leisure pervades this haven. The house is a jewel set in a backdrop of lush vegetation. Its original architecture and layout offer a unique environment and a practical design that is typically French. Its interior is cosy, yet it is also spacious, warm and understated. It combines modern architecture with classicism with its ashlar walls and slate roofing. The garden is large enough for pleasant spaces to be added without being disturbed by playful shouts of children amid the prevailing calm here. So all generations can enjoy this delightful property.
