A 17th Century Flemish Manor House, Outbuildings And Wooded Garden, 50 Minutes From Lille, At

A 17th century Flemish manor house, outbuildings and wooded garden, 50 minutes from Lille, at the foot of Mont Cassel . In the middle of the fields of Flanders, the property is set in a hamlet below Mount Cassel. A topiary garden decorates the Flemish dwelling, which has been awarded the Fondation du Patrimoine label. A testament to the former agricultural vocation of the fertile surrounding countryside, the red brick building, brightened up with colourful woodwork, has a classic layout, typical of Flemish farms in the north of France in the 17th and 18th centuries, with a single block built around an enclosed courtyard. Six blue-painted mullioned windows contrast with the black tarred base, providing rhythm to this composition that looks like something out of a painting by Ruisdael. Further up, there is a dormer window with blue painted surrounds. The wooden front door is balanced with the symmetry of the façade. The wooded garden, with its pond and orchard, stretches out on either side of the dwelling. On the right, a large red-brick barn and shed, once used to raise hens and rabbits, flank the main façade.
