Longueville-sur-Scie, Upper Normandy, Address available on request

A complex of two renovated houses and their outbuilding, set in almost 1 ha of grounds, in the heart of the Pays de Bray, 2 hours from Paris. The property is situated at a junction on a street off the main road to the village. The street then leads on to an 18th century church, winding its way through the countryside to a hilltop plateau. From the gate, a gravel driveway meanders through the wooded grounds, before bisecting to serve each of the houses on the estate. The surroundings, planted with numerous species of trees and shrubs, offer a glimpse of the green carpet beyond, forming a rural panorama as far as the eye can see. 
The two houses are set at right angles to each other and feature distinctive materials and architectural styles. 
Formerly an outbuilding of the chateau dating from the 17th century, the traditional Norman house has facades marked by flint and brick band mouldings and a slate gable roof. The modern house, previously a rammed earth and timber-framed barn now clad in wooden shingling, has a gable roof of ribbed steel panelling. Terraces and flagstone paths run alongside the two dwellings. 
The grounds also feature a water feature - a pond - and an outbuilding that is currently undergoing renovation. Further on, a rural footpath borders the property. Beyond the property fence, you can see peaceful horse pastures bordered by impressive beech groves.
