A Priory Residence With An Urban Garden, In Sées, In The Former Enclos Des Cordeliers Convent

A priory residence with an urban garden, in Sées, in the former Enclos des Cordeliers convent. The house occupies the former priory residence of the Enclos des Cordeliers convent, next to the remains of the former convent church, in a calm street, a short walk from the old market buildings. The edifice is flanked by two other houses, one of which boasts a tower topped by a pavilion roof. A gate opens into a small, walled and carefully tended front garden, which underlines the three-storey, 18th-century facade. Two vertical rows of openings on the side, punctuated by tall windows topped by bullseye dormers and triangular pediments, both stand adjacent to a central vertical row including an entrance door, bullseye oculus, a window and a dormer. The edifice is built with white stone masonry topped by a roof made of flat tiles. To the rear, an urban garden extends from the house, revealing the traces of an even older building in the facade. In a protruding central section, there is a semi-circular arch. Once through the entrance door, a hall leads to the reception rooms and main staircase. The upper floors contain the bedrooms, a former oratory transformed into an office and the converted attic space. The whole property boasts many period features from the 17th to 19th centuries.
