Vernon, Upper Normandy 27200

A former 18th-century priory, its outbuildings converted into accommodations & 3,000-m² grounds, near the Norman Vexin region, 80 km from Paris. The former priory includes two distinct sections: the rectangular main dwelling, behind which is a large pond, an open kitchen with an adjacent patio and an outbuilding, as well as a complex of four dwellings, including a fully converted holiday cottage, with annexes used for storage. As for the buildings' tile roofs, punctuated here and there with dormer windows and skylights, they provide shade for their exteriors, which are cadenced by small-paned windows or sliding glass doors, while the property's exteriors, entirely enclosed by walls, include a gravel parking area, an orchard and a vegetable garden.
