Steeped in rich history, this charming property is said to have once been home to Pierre Marie Laurent Forgues, a distinguished French soldier who fought in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. As a token of his service, Napoleon rewarded him with the prestigious title of Knight of the Legion of Honour.
The home also has a fascinating connection to his father, Jean Pierre Forgues, a prosperous merchant. Part of the property, including the expansive lounge, was originally used as a shop, showcasing the versatility and storied past of the building.
The current owner holds photographic evidence that chronicles the property's transformation over the years, offering a rare glimpse into its evolution. This is a truly exceptional opportunity to own a piece of French heritage.
Property Comprises:
Main house - Ground Floor
21.34m2 impressive entrance hallway leading to a stunning original staircase, adorned with decorative balustrades. The space features half-panelled walls, with original stonework exposed around the doorways and complemented by elegant stone tiling. A beautiful ceiling rose and chandelier enhance the grandeur, as do the original wooden double doors with period iron hardware—one leading to the lounge and the other to the formal dining room.
42.90m2 Dual-aspect lounge featuring four double-glazed windows, wooden flooring, a ceiling rose, and chandelier. The ornate fireplace, for decorative purposes only and not functional, adds a touch of luxury and beauty to the room.
27.25m2 formal dining room, naturally lit by two elegant arch-shaped double-glazed windows. The room also features an ornate marble fireplace, currently not in use but potentially reopenable. Original features include wooden flooring, a beamed ceiling, a ceiling rose, and a chandelier.
28.56m2 kitchen featuring a beautiful open fireplace with a working chimney—perfect for a large stove to cozy up to during winter evenings. While it would benefit from modernization, the existing wall and base units are perfectly serviceable. The layout includes a double sink, double oven, hob, fan, and dishwasher.
26.45m2 library with beautiful wooden flooring, complete with floor-to-ceiling wooden shelving and an ornate fireplace for decorative appeal. Two annexes, each approximately 6.75m2, lead off the library, one of which has previously been used as an office.
42.72m2 enclosed courtyard. Step down three large semi-circular stone steps from the kitchen—an eye-catching feature that mirrors the hearth in the kitchen fireplace—into this fabulous space brimming with potential. The large glazed double doors, repurposed from the shop that once occupied part of the building, connect the kitchen to the outdoor courtyard. A mezzanine with a wooden balcony adds an extra 'wow' factor to this already stunning area. The space keeps offering more—there is potential for a further bedroom (16.5m2) with an en-suite (9m2) at mezzanine level. The room already features a double-glazed window.
First floor:
21.99m2 expansive landing with beautiful original wooden flooring and a double-glazed arched window offering a direct view of the stunning circular stained glass window of the local church. On either side of the window, you'll find shelving with beautifully handcrafted curved wooden doors.
28m2 bedroom featuring two double-glazed arched windows and an en-suite (12.14m2) with a WC, shower, and washbasin.
29.48m2 master bedroom with two sets of original double doors leading to a balcony that wraps around the corner to another set of doors opening into the en-suite bathroom. Additional original features include flooring, a fireplace (which could be reopened), and an ornate ceiling rose. Exposed beams on one wall and original stonework on another further enhance the charm of this suite. The bathroom (16.17m2) features a corner bath, large tiled shower, WC, and a washbasin on a marble-topped stand.
24.38m2 bedroom with a decorative fireplace and original flooring. The room benefits from a large storage cupboard and an en-suite (3.31m2) comprising a shower, washbasin, and WC. It also offers direct access to the mezzanine balcony.
32.99m2 bedroom featuring a decorative fireplace and original, impressively wide wooden floorboards. The room benefits from two arched, double-glazed windows. Work has begun on the en-suite, and the fittings are already in place, though not yet fully installed. An annexe (9.13m2) off this room would make a perfect dressing room.
