Anglo-Norman residence with a guest house near the Jardin des Plantes

Located in Sotteville-lès-Rouen, just a few minutes from the historic centre of Rouen, within immediate proximity of the Jardin des Plantes and benefiting from quick access to the main motorway network, this remarkable character property stands on beautifully landscaped grounds of 875 sqm.

Built in 1937 by Mr Coutisson and extended in 1960 in keeping with its original architecture, this elegant Anglo-Norman residence offers approximately 177 sqm of living space. It is distinguished by the authenticity of its features, the quality of its generous proportions and its warm atmosphere steeped in history.

From the moment you enter, the charm is undeniable.

The bright living room is enhanced by magnificent sash windows, a signature feature of the Anglo-Norman style, and flows harmoniously into a fully fitted and equipped kitchen. A hallway leads to a utility room and a separate WC with hand basin. Beyond, the lounge reveals the true soul of the house, centred around its magnificent original fireplace.

The first floor comprises a study, a bedroom, a shower room, a separate WC, and a principal suite complete with its own dressing room and private bathroom.

On the second floor, a spacious character bedroom occupies what was once a projection room. A true living space in its own right, it retains the hallmarks of its history, featuring its original fireplace, built-in storage and bespoke library.

Outside, the property fully reveals its potential through its numerous outbuildings.

An annex houses a workshop, a laundry room and a double enclosed garage. A second independent house of approximately 80 sqm completes the property. It comprises an entrance hall, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a bedroom with shower room, and, upstairs, a second bedroom with a bathroom area and a bathroom requiring renovation.

This additional accommodation is ideal for welcoming family and friends, running a professional activity, or creating an independent guest house.

The carefully landscaped garden forms a true green sanctuary. It features a pond populated with koi carp and benefits from an 8,000-litre rainwater harvesting tank.

Rare on the market, this property elegantly combines the architectural charm of the 1930s with generous living spaces, numerous ancillary buildings and a privileged location on the doorstep of Rouen.
