Essone, Ile de France (Center)
Stunning 7 bedroom house with large garden in romantic village south of Paris.
The house is located in a beautiful, romantic French village, full of authentic character. The village has its own magnificent castle set in historic grounds. A small tortuous river crosses the village, offering a tranquil heaven for fishers and nature loving people in general. In the immediate neighbourhood you find: bakeries, grocery shops, schools, sport facilities, health care services and a large supermarket plus DIY store. There is also a weekly open-air market (cheese, meat, fish and veg). There are no restaurants, hotels nor B&B’s in the village. From the village it is less than one hour drive by car to beautiful places such as Versailles, Fontainebleau, Chartres, Orléans and the splendid Loire castles region. To reach the village from the centre of Paris, you need only a one hour drive by car, in southern direction, on easy going roads. If you are in a hurry, travel time can be reduced by half by taking the train. The village is only a thirty minutes drive away from Orly airport.

First we have the low-maintenance leisure garden mainly laid to lawn with shrub borders on either side. From the gravel patio you can enjoy a wide variety of roses, hydrangeas and lavender plants. The lawn slopes gently up.
Secondly, at the back, there is a wood on a slope, with beautiful old trees. A shaded path makes it possible to walk in the wood. The width of the garden at the back is three times the width of the leisure area.
