Between Forest And Valley: Master House North Of Rouen

A bourgeois architecture in all its nobility
The Master House is a historical object as much as a way of life. Born from the ambition of the 19th-century bourgeoisie, it embodies a certain idea of success: stone and brick, generous proportions, abundant light thanks to large openings and a central entrance hall that immediately sets the tone. The monumental staircase, the woodwork, the office reserved for the master of the house — all details that tell a story and today compose a rare living environment.
The property presented to you brings together all these attributes, intact.
A preserved natural setting, between Rouen and the Alabaster Coast
Overlooking the valley of the Clérette — a small river that descends from the plateau of Pays de Caux towards the Seine — the property is set in a wooded and silent environment. The park with its ancient trees dominates three hectares of woods. The authenticity of the materials has been preserved from generation to generation: old floors and woodwork on the ground floor, parquet and fireplaces on the upper floors, majestic staircase. Nothing has been sacrificed to hasty modernism.
A house made to be fully lived in
The reception rooms, spacious and bright, open onto the park and the forest, and the complete basement — rare for this type of property — offers numerous possibilities for development. Clères, a Norman village with discreet charm
Clères owes its fame to its zoological park, founded in 1919 by the naturalist Jean Delacour within the grounds of a castle whose history dates back to the 11th century. Today owned by the Seine-Maritime department, this place of educational and well-maintained nature attracts lovers of living things. The gardens, designed by the landscape architect Henry Avray Tipping in the Arts and Crafts spirit, constitute a destination in themselves.
In daily life, Clères offers all services within walking distance: shops, doctors, schools, college. The train station allows you to reach the heart of Rouen in 20 minutes, Dieppe and its beaches in 30 minutes in the other direction.
Less than two hours from Paris, between sea and forest
Inhabited countryside, accessible metropolis, coast within weekend reach: Rouen 30 minutes away, Paris in less than two hours (by train or car), Beauvais-Tillé airport 1 hour away, the beaches of the Alabaster Coast 35 minutes away. This house is not a retreat — it is an anchorage.
