About this house

Nestled next to the village church, whose bell tower's watched over the area for 800 years, this former monastic residence welcomes you with 11 uniquely decorated rooms: hand-painted botanical artwork, hexagonal terracotta tiles, exposed beams, and one-of-a-kind antique furniture.

The owners have redesigned the 18th-century main building and its older annex in the style of an English cottage. The kitchen, with its black marble island and Smeg range, is perfect for large gatherings. The living room, with its marble fireplace, is ideal for evenings, and the family room—complete with table football, ping-pong, and billiards—keeps both young and old entertained for hours.

The garden, enclosed by high stone walls, spans 2,000 m². Children can play freely there while you enjoy a game of pétanque or relax by the natural wooden pool, whose freshwater is treated without chlorine through biological filtration.

The market in Anet, across from the Château de Diane de Poitiers, and the one in Houdan are perfect for stocking up the fridge upon arrival. You can also explore the Château d’Anet, just 10 minutes away, Chartres (35 minutes), or Versailles (40 minutes). The Dreux National Forest and the Eure Valley Greenway are nearby for bike rides or walks.
