Situated in the Perche National Park, this beautiful 3-bed cottage with 1-bed independent guest house has a stunning garden and plenty of woodland & walking trails to explore from the doorstep. Whilst neighbours are at a discreet distance, the house is not isolated and there are 2 villages nearby and 2 larger towns 15mins away, one with good rail access to Paris.

Originally built sometime around 1860 with locally-sourced pale stone and tiles, the style of the house is characteristic of the Perche region. A small, winding road leads through the forest from the town of Beaumont-les-Autels to the hamlet where this property is situated. Once through the gated entrance, the stone-lined driveway leads through the garden, past the gite and on down to the main house.

The house has 140m2 habitable space. The rooms on the first floor are built into the eaves of the building and consequently feature the beautiful beams. Here's the lay out:

The nearby village of Beaumont-les-Autels is very pretty and is where you may like to head to for the morning baguette run, to stock up on fruit and veg or meat from the butcher, and perhaps to take a rest in the local bar or restaurants.
