Saint Illiers La Ville Yvelines A Turnkey 19th Century Castle, Combining Charm, Contemporary Com

On the edge of Yvelines and Normandy, in the preserved village of Saint-Illiers-la-Ville, this castle built in 1850 unfolds its brick and plaster facades in the heart of a 4.5-hectare park. Its commanding position offers an unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside.

The castle illustrates the eclectic architecture of the 19th century. Its symmetrical main façade is organized around a stone honor staircase and tall arched French doors, framed by two lateral gables. The elevations blend red brick with light plaster, punctuated by harped brick corner chains and brick-framed windows. Under the cornice, a decorative frieze with geometric motifs in polychrome adds a characteristic touch of the period. The building is topped with a high slate roof, entirely renewed, animated by dormer windows, a spire, and tall brick chimney stacks.

Completely renovated in 2021, the castle offers 337 sqm of living space (407 sqm total surface) over three main levels, complemented by an attic and a basement.

The ground floor is dedicated to reception: a tiled entrance opens onto two lounges and a dining room with generous volumes, extended by a 23 sqm kitchen. Parquet floors, moldings, chimney, plaster rosettes, and checkered floors create an authentic and luminous decor, served by large bays opening onto the park. The first floor hosts four bedrooms, served by a large landing and a bathroom. The second is organized around a large master suite and includes two other bedrooms, served by several bathrooms and water rooms. In total, seven bedrooms allow for hosting family and guests in rare comfort.

The development potential is one of the property’s assets: the 70 sqm attic, already insulated and powered by electricity, lends itself to creating bedrooms, an office, or a leisure space without major work, while the basement offers the possibility of developing new living spaces, game room, wine cellar, gym, or spa depending on projects. All these volumes are available to support the evolution of a household or activity.

The renovation combines character and contemporary comfort: pellet central heating, double-flow ventilation, air and water filtration systems, exterior lighting, electric gate, fencing, and car shelter. All technical installations needed for the creation of a pool have already been completed, leaving only the basin installation to be done.

At the rear, a large stone-paved terrace with a balustrade overlooks the park and naturally extends receptions. The wooded park, planted with remarkable specimens and enclosed, provides a setting of greenery and tranquility around the residence. Just minutes from Bréval shops, the property benefits from easy access to the capital: Bréval station connected to Paris-Saint-Lazare in about fifty minutes, A13 motorway nearby.

By its size, its volumes, and its location, the Saint-Illiers-la-Ville castle is suitable both for a family seeking a characterful main residence and for buyers looking for a quiet secondary residence near Normandy. Its spacious reception rooms, park, and expansion possibilities also make it suitable for a professional project, guest house, or reception venue, in an exceptional setting less than an hour from Paris.
