Norman longhouse from 1720 with padel and pool

This Norman farmhouse from 1720, built of stone with exposed beams, faces due south and is surrounded by orchards. Renovated to accommodate a large group, it's got plenty of space for everyone to live together comfortably. On the ground floor, all the rooms flow into one another. The kitchen's centred around a range, and the 5.50-metre table seats twenty guests. On one side there's the light-filled veranda overlooking the orchards. On the other, there's the living room with its fireplace for winter evenings. All rooms open onto a 200-square-metre terrace. There are seven suites with private bathrooms, two of which are duplexes.

You’ll enjoy an 8,000 m² fenced-in property where children can play safely. The floodlit padel court allows for evening play, and the heated pool is sheltered from the wind. The pergola’s perfect for yoga or aperitifs, the carriage house houses the ping-pong table, and you can play pétanque in front of the apple trees.

On Saturdays, head to the Bernay market to stock your large dining table. Nearby, visit the Château de Beaumesnil and its French gardens, as well as the Bec-Hellouin Abbey and its half-timbered houses. The greenway connects Bernay to Broglie by bike, and hiking trails wind through the surrounding orchards.
