The small road leading to the property is lined with relatively well spread-out trees that become denser to almost create a tunnel of foliage, after which the manor proudly stands in the middle of a clearing surrounded by dense forest. Opposite, the manor, a vast meadow expands outwards towards the surrounding woodland. The main entrance is especially imposing due to the place’s fortified character in the past. A carriage gate accompanied by an arched pedestrian gate are both made of granite and fitted with wrought-iron railings. They open into the once enclosed courtyard. On either side, the former fortifications include several stone outbuildings: a workshop, a covered area, a log store, a former pigsty and a bread oven. According to the local archives, there was previously a drawbridge that stood astride a dry moat. The manor possesses a rectangular layout, topped by a gabled slate roof. The façade is made of rough-hewn blocks of granite, with ashlar door and window frames. There is also a monumental opening known as “the door of justice” boasting two columns with square capitals. It marked the entrance to the farmyard where yesteryear the lord of the realm exercised his right to administer justice. To the rear, the walls are covered with Virginia creeper that has slowly spread out over the building as time has gone by. The house boasts a panoramic view of the flowery and tree-filled south-facing grounds, tucked away from prying eyes.

The manor

The ground floor
At the very left of the façade, a double-leaf door, topped with a large-paned fanlight window, leads into the residence. The spacious hall is paved with granite slabs and leads to the south-facing kitchen, from which French windows open directly onto the grounds. The floor is paved with bricks in the opus spicatum pattern, a diagonal zigzag arrangement resembling a fish’s backbone, while the splashback is decorated with white tiles with floral patterns. The kitchen is rather sparsely fitted. The original serving hatch is still in place and opens into the dining room which is separated from the large lounge by a monumental half-pace staircase. The reception rooms boast sturdy, functioning, granite fireplaces with sculpted jambs. Most of the walls are lime rendered in clear hues, except for in the lounge, where there is an ochre-coloured velvet wall tapestry. The rendering highlights the stonework and wood, which is present in the form of large, exposed beams, period wood stripped flooring and noble solid wood doors, surrounded by chamfered or semi-circular arched ashlar frames. The tall, small-paned windows are single glazed. To the rear of the lounge, a discrete door leads to a part of the building that remains so far unused: there is a hall with an imposing wooden staircase climbing up more than twelve metres to the ridge cap of the roof. Another semi-circular arched door opens into a consolidated ruin that is open to the elements, in the centre of which a tree grows contentedly.
The first floor
This level can be reached via a half-pace staircase but also by secondary stairs at each end of the residence. The main room on this floor is the large billiard room, which boasts a granite fireplace in excellent condition. The walls are rendered with lime and the ceiling is graced with a remarkable set of exposed beams and joists. Light pours into this room from either side, though the more modestly sized windows give it a cosier impression. A simple landing separates it from the Lordship's bedroom, which possesses a granite fireplace, an alcove and an en suite bathroom. The floral-patterned wallpaper is made up of harmonious blue and yellow shades. The room is generously bathed in light through two tall and wide, small paned windows opposite one another. A small, intermediate level corridor leads to a landing on which there is a lavatory and a second bedroom.
The second floor
This level is made up of a loft and two separate sleeping areas, which are not linked to one another. In the centre, a landing that can be reached via a half-pace staircase leads to a corridor with built-in cupboards, off which there are two bedrooms with sloping ceilings and a bathroom. In the east wing, there are two further small bedrooms that were previously used by the domestic staff. Redecoration work is necessary and to the west, a loft with exposed period roof frame could be converted.
The basement
This level can be reached from the bottom of the central staircase, via a rustic and antique door made of solid wood. The upper part has openwork grating formed by vertical bars that probably originally served ventilation purposes. Wide granite steps descend into the cellar where there is a rammed earth floor. It has a low ceiling, can be used to store wine, preserves or other non-perishable foodstuffs, and is hooked up to the electricity mains.
