Dieppe, Upper Normandy 76200

25 minutes from Dieppe, in a village in the pays de Bray, a 250 m² thatched house with a 3,300 m² garden. Set back from a road at the centre of a village, the house sits within a garden of some 3,350 m². Built in 1984 on the site of a former agricultural building, the roughly 250 m² dwelling is built in the Norman architectural tradition, with its thatched roof and half-timbering. Structure, walls and roof timbers are all in solid elm, prized for its strength and its resistance to moisture.
