Beautiful large recent and typical house, in the style of the historical monument that overlooks it, in a quiet and peaceful village overlooking the meadows of the river Oise which from time to time rises from its bed to flood the valley.
The cattle take advantage of the green grass in the summer, and provide us with quality milk for the production of an exceptional cheese "Maroilles" among others.
House with all comforts with upstairs three bedrooms and private bathrooms, as well as a common toilet.
With a surprising view of the valley...
On the first floor, a communal dining room with open kitchen and a toilet.
Outside a large fully enclosed courtyard with an uncovered terrace to the rear of the house; all opposite the fortified church of St Nicolas.
Side roads will take you into the village and also to the castle of La Plesnoy, also listed, but private and not open inside.
For local shops, you are 5 minutes by car or barely two km walk from MARLY GOMONT, which became famous thanks to its RAP singer and its famous song of the same name.
You will find almost everything there, including care in case of problems.
ENGLANCOURT is located on the heights of the Thiérache between GUISE, where you can discover the city of the DUCS, the social palace of Jean Baptiste André GODIN, famous for its heating appliances, and you will inevitably come across the statue of the famous character that was Camille DESMOULINS during the revolution; And HIRSON which brings us closer to BELGIUM, to finish at the waterfall of BLANGY, without forgetting to visit the unmissable Abbey of Saint Michel en Thiérache where you can attend concerts.
You can cover these forty kilometres of river partly by canoe, kayak, by car along roads parallel to the river, or by taking the old railway line called the "green axis" or the EURO cycle route, which allows you to go by bike, on foot or on horseback, from DENMARK to PORTUGAL.
Whether or not you deviate from the green axis, if you are a little (or big) hungry, you will be able to find in the shops or directly from producers local products to take away or to eat in, in particular the famous maroilles which is the pride of the Thiérachiens, the quiche au maroilles, accompanied by a good glass of cider from here; Not to mention some alcohols to be consumed in moderation of course.
Do you want to relax and try your luck?, Then enjoy 15 minutes from our international racecourse of LA CAPELLE, mainly on Sundays.
This tour will also allow you to discover how difficult life was on this land of Thiérache, by discovering a good number of churches that were fortified to protect the populations from the many invasions and looting in the past.
Numerous washhouses, chapels, mills and other ....... to discover, not to mention our most beautiful village in FRANCE, PARFONDEVAL, and our industrial heritage such as the newspaper LE DEMOCRATE de VERVINS since 1906 and now listed in the inventory of historical monuments, given its ancestral printing techniques.
It's just making your mouth water, because in Thiérache there are many things to discover, and I haven't told you about the miracle in ENGLANCOURT.....
To be discovered!
