Lovely spacious former farmhouse. Very quiet location, in the middle of popular hiking area. The farmhouse is well insulated. In the heat of summer, wonderfully cool and in the cold crisp winter, nice and warm. The farm and the large stables (which we share with the barn owls), are on 1.3 acres of private land. There is much to explore. Beech hedges, pollarded willows, beech woods. A fine garden. All on its own property. Ideal for birdwatchers. Loyal guests on the property: greylag, black stork, tawny owl, barn owl, tits, finches, black and collared redstart, Orpheus mockingbird, stonechat, (small and large) spotted woodpecker, green woodpecker etc. etc. And of course the deer, hares and, if you're lucky, the domestic ermine. Out the door and you walk or bike through rolling scenery. On two sides is deciduous forest a few miles away. The road behind the house runs along the crest of the hill and offers beautiful skies and vistas.
Nature and surroundings
Nature is the rugged and small-scale agricultural coulisse landscape interspersed with forest. At 18 km a swimming lake (Signy-le-Petit). Stores at 11 km (Hirson). Paradise for birdwatchers and other nature lovers. Numerous walks are possible in the neighborhood. Some more enjoyable than others. Historically, it is the region of the "églises fortifiées" and now that of the numerous brocantes. The cathedral in Laon is one of the oldest and, in our opinion, one of the most beautiful cathedrals there is. We find it more beautiful than the one in Reims (over an hour's drive from our home). Moving and not to be missed are Charles Eyck's frescoes in the little church of Jeantes (10 minutes away). The Pieta in black and white always makes a deep impression (the lighting works on coins so make sure you have a few 2 euro coins).

M July 19, 2025 General rating:A great house with the authentic atmosphere of the French countryside but equipped with everything modern!
Een geweldig huis met de authentieke sfeer van het Franse platteland maar van alles moderne gemakken voorzien!
Nature, peace & environment:A quiet area and a spacious back "garden" so nature was at your fingertips as soon as you opened the garden doors in the morning.
Een rustige streek en een riante achter"tuin" waardoor de natuur binnen handbereik was zodra je de tuindeuren 's morgens opende.

David September 1, 2024 General rating:The house is wonderfully spacious, with spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious eat-in kitchen and even a nice living room with TV. Everything you can think of is there. Also to sit outside in the sun or shade, everything is there. Fine that the motorcycles could stand in the garage. In short, a house to go back to again.
Het huis is heerlijk ruim, met ruime slaapkamers, twee badkamers, een ruime eetkeuken en zelfs een mooie woonkamer met tv. Alles wat je maar bedenken kan is aanwezig. Ook om buiten in de zon of schaduw te zitten is alles aanwezig. Fijn dat de motoren in de garage konden staan. Kortom een huis om nog eens naar terug te gaan.
Nature, peace & environment:We enjoyed the tranquility around the house and the surroundings. Were able to make beautiful walks in the neighborhood and surrounding villages. Fresh air and plenty of space, lots of land around the house itself. The village of Hirson is 15 minutes drive close enough to do some shopping or visit a market. Communication with the owners was pleasant and fast. Charging the electric car went better than expected, really fast. Wifi also worked perfectly.
We hebben genoten van de rust rond het huis en de omgeving. Mooie wandelingen kunnen maken in de buurt en omliggende dorpjes. Frisse lucht en veel ruimte, heerlijk veel grond om het huis zelf. Het dorpje Hirson is kwartiertje rijden dichtbij genoeg om even boodschappen te gaan doen of een markt te bezoeken. Communicatie met de eigenaren ging prettig en snel. Opladen van de elektrische auto ging beter dan verwacht, echt snel. Wifi werkte ook perfect.
