CLAIRIÈRE

Inspired by the rural architecture of the Perche region, this house features a restrained vernacular style, characterized by balanced volumes, a steeply pitched roof, and a constant dialogue with the surrounding landscape. Behind its deliberately simple composition, it reveals a local building tradition: light-colored rendered facades, small-paned wooden windows, shutters, exposed beams in certain sections, and a terracotta tile roof that reinforces its connection to the Perche region, with the roof and frame in excellent condition. The ground floor features an east-west facing living room with generous openings onto the garden and a beautiful presence of wood through exposed beams, interior joinery, and a functional fireplace insert. The separate kitchen, preserved in its original state, displays a domestic vocabulary characteristic of the 1990s--tiled countertops, oak fronts, and a glazed stoneware backsplash--offering an interesting basis for a contemporary reinterpretation. This level also includes an entrance hall, a ground-floor bedroom, a bathroom, and a separate WC. Upstairs, under the sloping ceilings and in mansard-roofed spaces, two bedrooms facing south and north enjoy framed views of the surrounding treetops, while a shower room completes this level. Significant potential for expansion and the construction of annexes further enhance the property's potential. Outside, the grounds offer a wide range of possibilities: open meadow, shaded areas, and views of the rolling countryside and its hedgerows create an ideal setting for a vegetable garden, a landscaped garden, or a pond (planning permission pending). A covered, timber-framed extension encloses the house, creating an intermediate space suitable for seasonal use, while a small shed completes the ensemble.
