Description

A47646MCS50 - From the moment you step through its monumental front door, the charm is immediate. A marble mosaic floor in harmonious shades leads towards the garden. Inside, original parquet flooring, a pitch-pine staircase, carved woodwork, decorative mouldings, coloured stained-glass windows, terrazzo flooring and beautifully crafted cast-iron radiators all bear witness to the care invested in the design of the house and the skill of the craftsmen who created it.

A Family Residence Offering a Wealth of Possibilities.
With approximately 260 m² of living space arranged over four levels, La Javanaise offers seven bedrooms and generous reception areas. Its layout lends itself to a variety of lifestyles and projects: a substantial family home, a character residence or an inviting place to welcome guests, depending on the wishes and needs of its future owners.

Raised Ground Floor – Welcoming Reception Areas.
The entrance hall immediately sets the tone. This floor comprises a study, a fitted kitchen and a living and dining room featuring a bow window, which adds distinctive architectural character and enhances the charm of the reception rooms. A separate toilet with washbasin and a storage cupboard complete this level.

First Floor – Three Bedrooms and Private Spaces.
A spacious landing leads to three bedrooms. One has a dressing room, while another benefits from an en-suite shower room with WC. This layout offers practical and comfortable accommodation for family life and for welcoming friends and relatives.

Second Floor – Four Additional Bedrooms.
Four bedrooms, a shower room and a separate WC make up this floor. This generous accommodation is a real advantage for larger families, visiting guests or anyone wishing to create dedicated spaces for working from home or leisure activities.

A Basement the Same Footprint as the House.
The basement houses the gas-fired boiler, which provides central heating and hot water. It also offers valuable additional space for storage, household activities and a wine cellar, ideal for wine enthusiasts.

A Walled Garden with Greenhouse.
At the rear, the walled garden, extending to approximately 340 m², provides a private outdoor retreat and a natural extension of the house. It includes a greenhouse and offers an intimate setting for relaxing, gardening and enjoying time outdoors.

As the seasons change, flowering plants and shifting light continually transform the setting. From the upper floors, the windows offer views across the surrounding area, including glimpses of the sea, Fort du Roule and the spires of Le Vœu church.

A House That Has Stood the Test of Time.
With its parquet flooring, stained glass, crafted woodwork and garden, La Javanaise retains a distinctive atmosphere. Maintained over the years and adapted to contemporary needs, it has been home to several family stories. Today, it offers its future owners the opportunity to write their own.

A Desirable Location in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin.
Situated in the historic Le Vœu district, the property is close to schools, the town centre and Port Chantereyne, as well as Cherbourg’s ferry port, with regular connections to the United Kingdom and Ireland. La Javanaise offers the opportunity to enjoy life in Cherbourg, with its shops, amenities and services close at hand.

Its architecture, seven bedrooms, reception areas and garden make this a rare property for those seeking something distinctive, beyond the usual criteria of a family home.

La Javanaise offers the opportunity to acquire a piece of Cherbourg’s architectural heritage while giving this characterful residence a new chapter in its history.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
