Country house with a tree-lined garden, tucked away behind a carriage entrance, in the Oise department

In Offoy, in the countryside of the Oise department, this character-filled 170 m² house is tucked away behind a carriage gateway, set on an enclosed plot of nearly 2,400 m². Detached from any neighbors, it offers an intimate sanctuary where antique materials and lush greenery create a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Exposed beams, timber framing, and terracotta floor tiles define the home’s unique personality. The kitchen opens onto a dining room featuring a fireplace a welcoming space perfect for both everyday meals and large gatherings.

Adjoining this area, the living room centers around a wood-burning insert. Windows on either side allow light to flow through while framing views of the surrounding vegetation. At the rear, the garden situated on slightly higher ground enhances the sense of being sheltered; the living room becomes a cozy cocoon, ideal for reading or spending evenings by the fire.

The house includes five bedrooms, one of which is located on the ground floor, alongside a full bathroom. Upstairs, the remaining four bedrooms are nestled beneath the roofline, accompanied by a shower room.

Outside, the enclosed, private garden serves as a vibrant, natural setting. Trees sway in the breeze, transforming the landscape with the changing seasons from the cool shade of summer to the rich, coppery tones of autumn, when light filters through the foliage, casting a gentle glow over the property. It is a garden to be both admired and enjoyed, whether for hosting lively meals or savoring quiet, personal moments. A workshop and additional storage buildings complete the estate.

This rural setting is perfectly suited as either a primary residence or a getaway home for family and friends. A few light updates would allow for personal touches while preserving the home’s original charm.
