Sixties house on the site of an old watermill and its waterfalls

Some places have always distinguished themselves from banality by crossing the different eras.

Their rarity and evolution make them unique and give them a special interest.

This is the story of this charming red brick house dating from the 1960s, nestled at the end of a dead end, in a nest of greenery concealing many surprises.
Indeed, the place is known by the elders of the commune of Montivilliers under the name of the Tabarca Falls!

This appellation dates back to the beginning of the last century when this place hosted one of the various water mills punctuating La Lézarde, a local river flowing into the Seine estuary.
Over time, it lost its economic role and deteriorated sharply, until it was replaced, in the sixties, by a house of modern design in symbiosis with nature, the river and its small waterfalls.

Facing south on a plot of 1423 m2 including two small islands of 330 and 105 m2, it exposes its facade to the rays of the sun subtly filtered by a majestic cedar tree planted in the heart of the garden.

The automatic gate opens access to a vast garage for two cars of about sixty m2, with motorized door, leading directly into the house.
The main entrance is through a pretty loggia overlooking the river and the natural sound of waterfalls. The very spacious 26 m2 entrance hall is extended by a wide and comfortable stone staircase leading to the main living rooms.
The living room, generously glazed, overlooks a judicious balcony offering superb perspectives on this environment in the middle of which the river flows.
Next door, the fitted and equipped kitchen also opens onto this balcony overlooking nature.

The landing then leads to two beautiful bedrooms of about fifteen m2 sharing a real bathroom, however, requiring a good refreshment.
The corridor ends with a 9 m2 room that can be used as an office or an extra bedroom with the advantage of direct access to a 25 m2 terrace, sunny and dotted with wisteria.
This level also has a separate toilet and a wooden staircase up to the second floor in the attic.

Here, three bedrooms skillfully play with the slopes of the tiled roof and benefit from a large shower room of 14 m2 with wc.
But beyond its interior design, this house of approximately 190 m2 on the ground and 170 m2 of living space is distinguished by precious assets in the current context.
Indeed, the heat pump makes it possible to have a type of heating compatible with the new ecological requirements and an exceptional source of drinking water flowing into the ornamental basin makes it possible to have water at will, a real privilege. in these times of climate change.

On the other hand, variations in the flow of the river are controlled by nearby natural facilities (ponds, areas of water distribution?) avoiding any fears of flooding at the level of the house.

Located in a residential area 1km from downtown Montivilliers, 15 km from Le Havre and the coast, this property is an excellent compromise for a lifestyle both in connection with nature and close to urban amenities.
With the imminent creation of the splendid park-garden of La Sente des Rivières nearby, this location remains incomparable for a soothing homecoming!
