Johanna and Julien have completely renovated this half-timbered house from 1885, combining old-world charm, modern comfort, and a touch of designer decor with many unique items. Reading on the lovely balcony, chestnuts roasted over a wood fire, a nap in the shade of the cherry tree, a wild dance around the record player, or a game of soccer in the large one-hectare garden: your vacation is sure to be a success. Everything is set up for a relaxing and refreshing getaway with just one condition: sharing the space with a little roommate more commonly known as a robin. To make it happy, several birdhouses have been placed all around—will you be able to find them all? Around this haven of peace, you’ll find many hidden gems: the authentic town of Pont-Audemer, Bec-Hellouin—listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages of France”—and the charming village of Cormeilles, whose streets are lined with half-timbered houses.

Nestled in the heart of the Montfort National Forest, the house sits on a large, one-hectare private, unfenced lot. On the first floor: a fully equipped kitchen with a dining area; a comfortable living room with a TV and fireplace where you can warm up by the fire; and, adjoining it, a dining room with a bookshelf, a Bluetooth turntable, and a small office area. A bathroom with a large walk-in shower, vanity, and separate toilet. Upstairs, in the attic, you’ll find a relaxation area on the landing with a two-person sofa bed and TV, a Super Nintendo 2, and approximately 300 DVDs. To the right is a double bedroom decorated in shades of green with a 140x190 bed, which has its own balcony overlooking the large garden. A second bedroom, decorated in shades of blue, features a 160x200 bed. Enjoy plenty of cozy spots to relax in the garden and a variety of outdoor games: a children’s playhouse, a swing set, bikes, badminton, soccer goals… a private chef is available upon reservation.
