Equestrian property between Dieppe and Rouen, near Auffay

An equestrian property spanning over 4 hectares

Located on one of the plateaux of the Pays de Caux, surrounded by embankments forming a closed masure, this former Normandy farmhouse has been an equestrian property for 30 years, run by a horse professional. The house, originally an 18th-century farmhouse built of Saint-Jean brick, was raised in the 19th century to provide more space and comfort. Its roof is recent, but its character could use some improvements. Its central entrance hall with staircase leads to a spacious living room on one side, and a dining room, an office, and a kitchen on the other. Upstairs, three bedrooms, a bathroom, and an attic complete the house. The attached garage will provide an opportunity to expand the ground floor to create a single-story bedroom.

Numerous Outbuildings

The four outbuildings are impressive. In the large, high stables built in the 19th century, the 10 individual stalls are perfect for foaling. Under the vaulted ceiling, farm machinery provides easy access for daily maintenance. Its construction, made from a combination of sand brick and red brick, guarantees its strength and durability. This is a professional tool suited to horse breeding! The authentic and aesthetically pleasing wooden-framed cart shed is useful for dry storage of the equipment and tools needed to farm the four hectares of pastureland. It reinforces the distinctive Caux character of this Normandy region. The Saint-Jean brick and white stone barn offers an opportunity for expansion to house even more horses. Finally, the last building, converted into a garage/workshop, is very practical for maintaining equipment. The construction of a riding school and/or an arena would perfectly complement this equestrian property.

An attractive and easily accessible area

Auffay is a dynamic and historic village located in the Scie Valley. The merger of several communes to become the Val de Scie has not lost its rural character, particularly its Friday morning market, where many quality farm products are sold directly by locals. The village of Auffay is known for its collegiate church, which houses two Jacquemarts in its bell tower. Its reputation as a village with a rich heritage has been reinforced by the transformation of the magnificent Château du Bosmelet into a cultural center where numerous classical music performances and art exhibitions are held from spring to fall. Paris Saint-Lazard, via Rouen train station, allows you to reach this equestrian property in less than two hours. During sunny days, the Alabaster Coast and its beaches are accessible in half an hour.
