It has been a while since I showed you any houses that are for sale here in Normandy, but I think you will love this one, that a friend has put on the market.
This charming little 19th century house is in a romantic, rose filled garden, down a tiny lane. At the end of the garden is a river, and evenings here are quiet and balmy.
This is the cottage that tales are written for and about. Roses tumble down the stairs on the side of the guest house, and more roses cover the terrace with a fragrant arbor.
It is not a large property, but it has four small bedrooms upstairs, which the new owner may well convert into two big rooms with ensuite bathrooms.
Ceilings are low and cosy, and the beams of the house are visible in most rooms.
Downstairs there is a wood burner in the sitting room and also in the dining room
The kitchen was converted from the old porch and is bright and cheerful. As you can see the owners are in the process of emptying the house so it hasn’t been ‘staged’ for any photos, but buyers can see it is as a clean canvas, just waiting for them to create their own magic.
The cottage is in a charming village along the Eure valley, and surrounded by beautiful old houses. In the centre of the village is the church, town hall and school, and at the other end lies a beautiful 18th century château.
If you want more information you are welcome to shoot me an email and I’ll pass your questions on to the owner. As always, I hasten to add that I am not a real estate agent, and that I do not stand to benefit from the sale … other than the opportunity to show you some pretty pictures!
Aah … the things I do for this blog!

It would be perfect for us right now . . . I would love to have any information you have: the real estate listing, asking price, etc., if you have it?
Best regards,

Sharon, this is truly charming. What everyone envisions as a restored jewelbox. I’m sending the link to my son, who went to school at Parson’s in Paris, and who knows so many Europeans. I see someone else told you about Chateau de Gudanes, the owners sent me such a sweet FB message after I left one for them. One day………..
love you X10 !!
Dear Sharon
What a lovely cottage!
It’s like a house from a fairy tale…….or maybe one of your next stories???
Your writing is enchanting x
What a dear little house, and it looks as if you can walk out right into a garden. It says there’s a wood stove, but is that enough for winter heat in your area? I don’t know much about that practical side of French houses.
Why are they moving? That’s always one of my questions. I hope it’s for a good reason.
What a sweet little house…it has so much character. I’m sure lots of wonderful times were enjoyed in the gardens.
Oh Sharon! Thank you for sharing this lovely little abode, I’m afraid you’ve set our wheels in motion again on Normandy real estate. Looking at properties in France (mostly for fun!) is just about our favorite thing to do & this one is truly a sweet gem. Have a wonderful weekend!
Ta ta,

Dear Sharon. I saw the link to the Adorable cottage home for sale ,however, language barrier is so frustrating . Is there anyway to change to English language ?? Thank you so much for any help . I really would love to find out more info on & THANK YOU DEEPLY FOR SHARING WITH US !
Try copy and paste into something like Bing translator. What stops me is the exchange rate: Euro is = $1.39 at the moment. 🙁
Hi Sharon,
What a beautifully charming house and property. Am curious about the village. Is there a train station there? How difficult is it to travel throughout the area/to Paris without a car?
Thank you for always posting the loveliest pictures/stories/thoughts and ideas. I love your blog !
Lynn
Absolute perfection – the size, the location, the setting….It makes a real Ooh La La statement!!! ….Prey tell me who can can not help themselves and totally fall in love with France!!!…Love it….Thank you for sharing such wonderful images and if you keep this up you will have most of your followers moving promptly to Normandy…I am sure your friends will have no problems finding a new caretaker for their gorgeous home…

The things you do indeed for your blog…you draw me in daily. If it’s not one of your wonderful stories, it’s sharing dream come true cottages (who couldn’t magine how they could furnish and make it their own), your special vintage finds, to inspirational topics, and the most beautiful pictures of your daily life. I appreciate your talents…and look forward to tomorrow to see what you have in store for us. 🙂
Oh, I like …would you please share the asking price? Merci!
I absolutely love this house although I am probably way too late for it, because I cannot seem to get anywhere with the link???
Thank you for posting this and revving up my dream ideas.
Would love to the know the price of a house in Normandy, if you wouldn’t mind. thank you!
Hello , I also would like to know the price! Thanks , Charlotte
A dream! What is the price please in US $?
Can we get an update? Did your friend sell this lovely little home? We have been thinking of buying a home in France for a few years (relatives there and all, makes sense right?). I’d love to know if it’s still for sale.
Is this sweet little cottage still for sale?? Could not find link you mentioned for price information. Would like location, as well. This could be my dream come true! Appreciate your help.
Please sign me in to your blog. I would like to relocate from U.S. to France.
Wow, this is a great offer. Before buying, we also thought between buying an old house with a history, and a modern ordinary house. But after reading some reviews on the site https://help-center.pissedconsumer.com/lgi-homes-reviews-warn-dont-buy-from-lgi/ we decided that we need to be very careful about developers and check their reputation
