17th-century former rectory 20 minutes from Dieppe

A 17th-century residence of character: authenticity in its purest form

Located in the heart of a sought-after village—complete with all amenities and schools—this former 17th-century rectory reveals the authentic charm of its traditional "Saint-Jean" brick construction. Ideally situated just 5 minutes from the Rouen-Dieppe road and less than 20 minutes from the coastal beaches, this residence promises an exceptional quality of life, whether as a character-filled primary home or a spacious family retreat by the sea.

Occupying an elevated position within a magnificent 1.5-hectare walled park, the property immediately captivates with its tranquility, privacy, and the beauty of its natural surroundings. The landscaped garden stretches down to a river that flows peacefully through the estate, before opening out into a lovely meadow. On the south-facing façade, directly adjoining the living areas, an intimate outdoor space provides the perfect setting for lounge chairs, garden furniture, and a barbecue—an ideal spot to soak up the sun while enjoying an unobstructed view across the entire estate.

A main residence with grand proportions

From the ground floor, the property’s charm is evident in its generous volumes and highly functional layout, which features two separate entrances. The main entrance opens seamlessly into a spacious, character-rich living room and a welcoming kitchen. A separate service entrance provides direct access to both the kitchen and an office—a configuration perfectly suited for daily life or for those practicing a liberal profession.

A majestic staircase, the centerpiece of the home, leads to the upper floor, which is dedicated to the sleeping quarters. This level comprises four large, light-filled bedrooms and two bathrooms. Above, the top level reveals a vast, convertible attic set beneath a remarkable timber roof structure. Its impressive height and floor area offer ample space for creating a dormitory, a playroom, a second office, or additional bathrooms. A large cellar in the basement completes the main residence.

An independent apartment & numerous outbuildings

On one side of the property, an independent apartment features a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a shower room. This private space presents a rare opportunity to develop a charming holiday rental, a guesthouse, or accommodation for a caretaker.

The property also includes a wide array of outbuildings, clustered around a main access point at the rear. Garages, a wood shed, a laundry room, a workshop, and various other annexes offer significant potential for DIY enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone with creative or artisanal projects in mind.

An exceptional renovation project

Retaining its original, authentic character, this residence requires extensive renovation. However, the generous scale of its interior spaces and the rarity of its historic materials make it an exciting project of significant heritage value—a unique opportunity to blend 17th-century charm with contemporary comfort.
