About this place
This impressive 5-bedroom former presbytery dates back to the late 1700s, combining bright, spacious living with an abundance of character. The property boasts original features such as terracotta tiles, wooden floors, exposed beams, and antique fireplaces, while being well insulated and equipped with double glazing, electric heating, and a wood-burning stove.
Spread over three floors, the ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance, a kitchen with a pantry, a spacious dining room, and a cosy living room. The first floor features a landing leading to three bedrooms—one with a walk-in closet—a large, bright office overlooking the church, and a bathroom. The top floor offers a beautiful open attic with potential for conversion into extra living space along with a small bedroom under the eaves and another bathroom. A dry vaulted cellar in the basement provides ample storage or wine cellar space.
The property sits on a generous landscaped garden of approximately 2,200m², adorned with blooming flowers throughout the year, and also includes a small outbuilding and an old bread oven. The house is situated next to the church in the quaint village of Auvilliers, just a 10-minute drive from Neufchâtel, with Dieppe, Rouen, and the coast all within easy reach.

Buying property in France
France places no restrictions on foreign property ownership. The notaire (a public official, not a lawyer for either side) handles the conveyance and is paid by the buyer. A French bank account is strongly recommended for completion funds and ongoing charges.
No residency requirement to buy.
Non-resident mortgages available from French banks, typically 70–80% LTV with stricter affordability checks.
France abolished taxe d'habitation on primary residences (2023) but it still applies to second homes — and many communes now apply a surcharge of up to 60% on second homes in high-demand zones.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
