7-slaapkamerwoning, Celles

Near Tournai, in the heart of the village of Celles, this elegant 1834 gentleman's residence, formerly a notary's office, offers around 500 m² of living space in a landscaped 3.5-hectare estate. Renovated in 1998, the property's character, spaciousness and layout offer a wealth of possibilities. Whether as a luxury family residence, a show home, a reception area or a mixed private/professional project, this former study can easily be reinvented to suit the needs of its future owners. The first floor is organized around a vast entrance hall leading to several reception rooms: large living room, dining room, small living room, second dining room, kitchen, study and secondary hall. A laundry room and a second office complete this level. The first floor features five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The second level houses a games room, two additional bedrooms and a convertible attic. The exterior naturally extends the elegance of the premises, with an intimate terrace opening onto the park, and a rare landscaped environment punctuated by a pond. The estate, which will receive the "Jardin Remarquable" label in 2021, is considered one of the finest botanical parks in Hainaut. Its romantic landscape park, laid out around 1840 and attributed to Louis Fuchs, features many remarkable trees: araucaria, oak, chestnut, bald cypress, ginkgo biloba, beech, golden ash and chestnut. Since 1990, two extensions have enriched the plant collections, bringing the estate to an exceptional diversity of over 2,500 species, including around 400 rhododendrons and almost 70 varieties of Rhododendron yakushimanum. Azaleas, magnolias, maples, dogwoods, cherry trees and flowering apple trees create a decor that comes alive with the seasons. The property also boasts numerous outbuildings and facilities: janitor's office, offices, indoor swimming pool, annexes, carport, historic old ice house, old borehole, watering system, security system and permit for four garages.
