CHARMING 19TH-CENTURY CHATEAU IN THE STYLE OF THE 18TH CENTURY - 100km from Paris - In great peril, charming architecture, wood-panelled interiors - 1.1 hectares of parkland, terraces, outbuildings, beautiful entrance gate. Louviers, Eure, Normandy. In a style inventively borrowed from the 18th century, notably with two mirrored bull's-eye windows on the facade, this residence expresses all the elegance of the mid-19th-century art of living. This residence, located at the edge of a village, boasts a beautiful gate with two twin portals between two pillars adorned with Medici vases. Brick and stone facade, central section with five bays, Mansard-style pointed attic, two wings ending in corner pavilions. Segmental arched windows with arched pediments carved with gadroons and acanthus leaves, the central window carved with a mascaron of a faun, oak leaves, attributes of music. The mirrored bull's eyes are carved with mascarons, one of a woman, probably Diana, one of Bacchus wearing bunches of grapes, laurel scrolls on one side, vines on the other, a clasp, and lion's muzzles. Arched dormers with radiating pediments with shoulders. Gables of the three-bay pavilions; to the east, the first floor at garden level with a terrace. Rear facade, beautiful projection with three bays of semicircular bays, beautiful 19th-century cast iron railings, beautiful level access to the first floor through wide symmetrical double doors. Inside, on the ground floor, there is a kitchen adorned with Delft tiles, a terracotta floor, and a cast iron column. Cellars, pantry, workshop, and fruit store are also available. On the first floor, there is a beautiful garden-level entrance at the rear with a cabochon floor and beautiful 19th-century cast iron cremone bolts. On the front façade, there is a beautiful central hall adorned with moldings and a cabochon floor. A beautiful enfilade of two living rooms leads to the grand living room, adorned with beautiful 18th-century woodwork, decorated with shells, floral scrolls, two-part mirrors, interior shutters, original windows with rounded spandrels typical of the mid-19th century, sea-green marble fireplaces with claw feet, and two false mirrored windows. Ground-level access through beautiful double French windows leads to the east-facing garden-level terrace. The façade of this terrace is adorned with windows carved with fruit, flowers, burst pomegranates, and grapes. Three bedrooms on the first floor, marble fireplaces, one at the corner with ground-level access via a staircase with wrought iron balustrades, bathroom, and toilet. A wooden staircase and cast iron banister form a gallery. A straight staircase to the second floor splits into two flights toward each wing, with cast iron bars. On the second floor, nine bedrooms, three of which are beautiful, not attic-style, most with marble fireplaces, two bathrooms, and toilets; General de Gaulle is said to have slept in one of these bedrooms for a night. Guard house, recent roof, large living room, kitchen, bathroom, upstairs, three beautiful bedrooms. A dovecote. A carriage house with a large awning, flat tile roof in good condition. Stables with mangers, a beautiful carriage house with a pit; the roof is in very poor condition. Beautiful 1.1-hectare park with a series of levels, including a long gallery forming a terrace on the right side of the courtyard and a balcony overlooking the street next to the gate. This property is in critical condition and requires extensive and urgent overall renovations.
