Exceptional property in Useldange, offering a unique setting and charm in a historic residence set in 1.66 acres of grounds.
The "Prieuré d'Useldange” is a property steeped in history, its origins dating back as far as the 12th century. Discreetly tucked away from the main street, the property is nestled within superb, wooded grounds, offering an intimate and serene setting, running from the property to the Attert river. Authentic features such as mouldings, baroque built-in furniture or the remains of a cloister arch bear witness to the property's rich heritage.
The property today comprises an elegant late 18th-century building with around 335m² of living space, and several large barns totaling more than 582m² of additional floor space, offering superb potential for extensions or renovations. A superb interior paved courtyard, vaulted cellars in the basement, the remains of an old “pigsty” and a vast, well-kept garden contribute to enhancing further this charming property.
From the street, a large double gate opens on to a vast circular paved courtyard with a central water feature, the ensemble enclosed by the main residence and its adjoining barns, one of which linked by an elegant wooden gallery.
The ground floor of the main historic building comprises the main living areas forming the daytime part of the property. A superb mosaic-tiled entrance hall leads on either side to an tasteful library with a built-in old oak cupboard and the property's impressive living room with its old stone fireplace. This elegant living room continues into a second adjoining sitting room, while an imposing baroque wardrobe with iron fittings conceals another, more secret access to a first bedroom. A modern kitchen, benefitting from great luminosity thanks to an extension overlooking the south-facing garden, a 75 m² reception hall with herringbone roof and central wood-burning stove, and a large covered terrace complete this unique first level.
The upper level of the main house, that can be accessed by a period staircase of old oak, harbours the sleeping quarters of the property. A vast landing leads to the first bedroom, with its en-suite bathroom. Two long parallel corridors with built-in cupboards, on the garden and courtyard sides of the house respectively, lead to a total of 5 additional bedrooms as well as a magnificent modern bathroom.
Formerly owned by the Seigneurs d'Ansembourg and converted into a farm by the Jesuits in the 16th century, the Prieuré d'Useldange is an intimate, timeless place nestled in superb grounds surrounded by nature. This house, steeped in history, is a real gem to be discovered.
