At the end of a cul-de-sac through a hamlet with only a few dwellings, a private, gated path climbs for around 400 m through pastures towards the house. Overlooking the rolling fields and hedgerows, it enjoys a wide view to the south-west over the hills surrounding the valley and the meandering stream. Set against the main facade, a brick extension with a gable roof houses a sauna.
On the other side of the terraced courtyard, the long outbuildings back on to the woods that rise to the high point of the grounds. These cover some 6.5 ha, including a few plots of woodland and coppice that are not directly adjoining but not far away.
The granite facades of the various buildings are either rendered or clad in wood or brick, with rectangular openings and two- or three-pitched slate or tiled roofs.

The house

Built on a hillside at an altitude of just over 500 m, the tallest elevation comes immediately into view, extended by a granite wall supporting the courtyard terrace in front of the entrance. The slate roofs, which have just recently been completely renovated, follow the shape of the house, which may have been built in two stages. The granite facades were rendered many years ago; each elevation features a series of double-glazed windows and painted wooden louvered or solid shutters.

The ground floor
The long, black and white chequerboard-tiled entrance hall leads on one side to a first sitting room, which could also serve as a dining room, with straight strip oak flooring and a black marble fireplace set against one of the walls. There are fitted cupboards on either side. One window faces the valley to the west, and another opens onto the interior of the extension, which houses a sauna. Directly opposite is the vast kitchen with two-tone yellow and oxblood red floor tiles, a large working fireplace, vast cupboards and two windows, one opening to the south-east, the other to the south-west. A natural spring water supply completes the mains water network. The entrance hall then leads to a sitting room with a fireplace topped by a wooden mantle and a Godin woodburning stove that is in perfect working order. It is lit by two windows facing north-east and a third facing west. As in the entrance hall, the flooring is of black and white chequered tiles. A passageway at the back of the sitting room leads through a half-glazed door to a separate lavatory with washbasin, a bathroom with tub and a laundry/boiler room with cupboards, illuminated by a window.
The upstairs
A straight, half-turn wooden staircase leads at right angles from the rear of the entrance to a landing. The entire level has straight strip oak flooring. On one side, a first east-facing bedroom has a pink marble fireplace and cupboards. Next follow a separate lavatory and a large bathroom with bath, shower, beige marble fireplace and north-east-facing window. The landing then serves a second bedroom with a north-west-facing window and a pink marble fireplace in the corner. The third bedroom has two south-west-facing windows and a fireplace flanked by cupboards. Finally, there are a fourth bedroom with a south-facing window and a fifth bedroom, lit by two windows to the south-east and south-west, with a fireplace surrounded by wood panelling and cupboards.
The attic
Directly accessed from the upstairs landing, the attic floor is fully insulated with a thick layer of cellulose wadding. In fact, this level could be converted into additional living space, as it already has hardwood flooring throughout. A passageway currently serves three areas, and the necessary heating and electrical connections are in place.
The cellar
At the far end of the entrance hall, there is a doorway under the staircase leading down to two cellars preceded by a corridor. The floor is earthen. A connection has been laid in anticipation of the possible installation of a pellet or wood chip boiler.
