Maison Normande Du 16ème Siècle, Repaire Secret De Sacha Guitry

Stepping through the door of this incredible Norman house is like confronting nearly five centuries of history.

Located in the heart of the beautiful village of Acquigny and its famous castle, this 16th-century property exudes timeless elegance where timber framing and small country tiles showcase authentic charm.

Tavaillons and a carved virgin figure on one of the facade beams are details that recall the craftsmanship of ancient builders.

Inside, terracotta tiles, old wooden floors, stone walls, and beams flow from room to room, enveloping visitors in an atmosphere of well-being and serenity across the three levels of the main residence.

Opulence is understated. The 61 m² living room connects to a spacious kitchen, the dining room opens onto the garden, and all living spaces offer a harmonious and natural layout.

On the first floor, a master suite of nearly 60 m² ensures complete privacy. Three other bedrooms (two with bathrooms) will welcome family and friends in absolute comfort.

On the second floor, a 45 m² playroom will delight both young and old at any time of day. Two additional bedrooms, a shower room, and separate toilets complete the floor around an elegant landing.

It was in this cozy setting that a woman secretly hosted Sacha Guitry at the beginning of the last century. Enchanted by the place, the famous author quickly had an astonishing private theater room built here—a space for reflection, work, and even rehearsals with a few privileged students.

Perfect proportions, incredible acoustics, and rare architectural details such as a ceiling shaped like an inverted ship’s hull inspired by the Sainte Catherine church in Honfleur. A glazed walkway overlooking the garden leads directly to a summer kitchen to extend the enjoyment.

A second building houses a 70 m² annex including a kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. Adjacent to this, a large garage and a workshop complete the premises, along with a cellar, laundry room, and boiler room.

The elegant walled garden offers private access to one of the branches of the Iton River that runs through the village, providing a pleasant setting for summer garden parties under the wisteria.

Shops and amenities are within walking distance, the Normandy coast is one hour by car, and Paris is 1 hour 15 minutes by car or train (train station to Paris Saint Lazare 15 minutes away).

It’s no surprise that the property is also a renowned holiday rental today, prized both for its features and the charm of its location.
