An Immense And Stately Anglo Norman Dwelling From The 1930s, On 14 Hectare Grounds, Thirty

An immense and stately Anglo-Norman dwelling from the 1930s, on 14-hectare grounds, thirty minutes west of Paris, near L’Isle-Adam. Commissioned in 1938 by Aristide Quillet, a publisher, mayor of the village and a major local donor, on the site of a former farm known as “The Dwelling”, the impressive manor house overlooks the countryside from its slightly elevated in position. Facing the grounds, with its meadows and woods, and enjoying unobstructed views of the valley, its Anglo-Norman architecture, understated and well proportioned, gracefully combines limestone, exposed timber framing and a multi-pitched roof.

Quillet, who was so attached to this site that he invested a significant amount of his wealth in it, created a property that still reflects the careful attention he paid to striking a perfect balance between comfort and the surrounding natural setting. As for the three-storey main building, it is cadenced by protruding foreparts, balconies and patios facing the grounds, whereas its approximately 650 m² of floor area is divided into 15 rooms, 12 of which are bedrooms.

Below, a caretaker’s cottage, stone garages and a swimming pool are located on the outskirts of a clearing, while the grounds, of approximately 14 hectares, alternates between open meadows, decorative trees and wooded areas, which provide structure for this bucolic setting.
