This is simply the description of the property photographed here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/27 Avenue Coluche, 77280 O...
I am guessing that *Aulne* refers to a particular style of house, so am considering leaving it in French, but any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance if you're able to help me.

(detached) Aulne-style house
I think with the added context that this is a will, this is the simplest way of dealing with it.
If someone was buying the house from plans we could talk more easily of a template style as in Emmanuela's link that have different "names" depending on the features. See Dbox

I'd consider quote marks "Aulne" or "Aulne-style" but I'd prefer style to "type" as it seems to indicate it's a particular design although your pic is very different from the pic in Emmanuella's link, which seem to be more appropriate to buying a house off plans.
So, it's not at all certain it is a "trade name"or particular design model (as happens to give variety of design types in an estate rather than having them all identical), unless you have other context that indicates this?

: Possibly with quote marks, since it's a trade name rather than a place.

Yes, I considered that but this is a will, not an estate-agent brochure so not certain it's a trade name after all

: My guess is that the name of the style is taken from the river Aulne in Brittany rather than referring to the tree (aulne=alder).

Thanks! Yes. I can't see it referring to wood here, other than the river probably got its name from alders growing there. There might be a regional style of house originally made from alder but can't find any references to such

: No way! Your ref. is to "Alder" as a name of a specific house in Nottingham, England; the houses pictured are not even wooden, nor is the house referred to by asker

Thanks for your reply, but there is no additional context unfortunately (other than the fact that the house comprises a ground floor, first floor, garage and parking space).
Je pense qu'il s'agit du modèle Aulne (avec majuscule).
