The dwelling and its garden, concealed from the street thanks to a partially plaster-coated stone wall, topped by an evergreen hedge, are accessible via a small metal door and gate. With its grounds forming a rectangular polygon, the dwelling was built near its southern border giving on to the street, leaving an immense open space in the back, planted with trees and facing north, while, to the west, a recent garage is accessible from the property’s gate and a large storeroom is located in the grounds’ southeast corner, separated from the dwelling by a shaded patio.
Built in the late 19th century and featuring two floors as well as a partially underground basement level, the dwelling is topped with a hipped interlocking tile roof, highlighted by a single genoise cornice and featuring a terracotta roof finial, whereas its exteriors, rather understated in appearance, are covered in ochre-colour plaster with ashlar stone quoins and window/door surrounds and cadenced by symmetrical and rectilinear wood-framed, double-glazed windows, which are, in turn, safeguarded by grey folding wooden shutters.
In the middle of the upstairs level, the main façade is punctuated by a balcony, sheltering the front door from the elements, the latter of which is flanked on either side by windows with wrought-iron guardrails, while, to the west, a semi-circular tower, abutting the central structure, is topped with a stone balustrade, and on the dwelling’s rear eastern side a projecting wing features an additional half-floor.
As for its interior, it boasts a variety of living areas (two sitting rooms, a dining room and a kitchen with a scullery) on the ground floor as well as three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a convertible attic upstairs, whereas, to the right of the dwelling, former agricultural buildings give directly on to the street. With two storeys and dual-aspect in nature, they include an agricultural storeroom and a garage, which are accessible from the road via a wooden gate or from the garden via either a door on the ground floor or a staircase that leads to the upstairs level.

The Manor House

The ground floor
Accessible via several front steps, the wooden, partially glazed front door, topped with a fanlight and framed by stone pilasters, opens on to a long entrance hall with grey wooden wainscoting. On this level, cream-colour marble floors can be found throughout, except in the kitchen, which features white floor tiles, while the staircase to the upstairs level is directly opposite the front door at the end of the hallway.
From the entrance hall, double doors, to the right, give on to an immense dual-aspect drawing room with pale walls, a white ceiling with a plaster frieze, a floor-to-ceiling height of more than three metres and a pair of glass double doors that provide plenty of natural light and a feeling of space.
Extending on from the living room, a winter garden, tucked into a corner with terracotta floor tiles, was created at a later date, whereas, behind the conservatory, a study/TV room opens on to the garden. From here, after crossing back to the other side of the living room, another door opens on to the foot of the stairs, while a kitchen, located to the left, with light-colour surfaces and cupboards that are both understated and modern, features glass double doors, to the north, giving on to the grounds.
In addition, another door opens on to a scullery, which is located on the ground floor of the tower, as are a utility room, the boiler room as well as a shower, whereas several glass doors provide light for this utilitarian space as well as access to the garden to the west.
Lastly, the kitchen also communicates with the dining room, the latter of which is equally accessible from the hallway opposite the living room, while a lavatory and the stairs towards the semi-underground basement are located beneath the main staircase.
The upstairs
This floor is accessible via the staircase, bathed in light by four multi-colour stained glass windows and featuring an ornate metal and wood bannister as well as marble stairs that match the surrounding floor tiles. At the top of the stairs, a landing, leading to the balcony overlooking the front door, provides access to all the rooms on this level, e.g. three large bedrooms, including two facing south, while the other, giving on to the northern side of the dwelling, provides views of the garden.
With parquet floors throughout, except for the bathrooms, which have tile floors, the two bedrooms to the right both feature a picture window and share a bathroom as well as a lavatory, located in the tower and thereby drenched in ample natural light, while the latter’s vintage cement floor tiles, accessories and furnishings from the 1920s lend a certain and undeniable charm.
As for the main bedroom, located on the eastern side of the dwelling and boasting more than 25 m², it comes with a large and sunny bathroom with a shower and a private lavatory as well as a wardrobe in the back, whereas, between the bedroom and the bathroom, a door opens on to a straight staircase that provides access to the attic, currently used as a study and for the family’s archives.
The basement
This rather small, semi-underground level, accessible from both the dwelling’s interior, via a small staircase located underneath the main one, as well as a few steps from the back patio, is topped with a whitewashed barrel vaulted ceiling with a height of approximately 1.9 metres, and is used as a wine cellar and for storage.

The Outbuildings

The agricultural storehouse
Located to the right of the main façade and giving on to the street, this two-storey building, with approximately 360 m², includes a garage with a fibre-cement gable roof covered with barrel tiles and surrounded by a double genoise cornice, while, accessible directly from the road via a double-leaf gate painted almond green, it is large enough to accommodate any size vehicle and features an underground cistern for collecting rainwater.
In addition, this space comes with an easement to the adjoining lot, since the property’s electrical meter, accessible from this building, is located in a recess in the wall of the neighbouring house, whereas a workshop, extending on from here and giving on to the rear garden, is located in the estate’s former stables.
Upstairs, accessible via the staircase from the garden, two windows provide light for an immense open space facing south towards the street, while, from here, a staircase leads to several rooms, looking out towards the north, which were once used as accommodations for the vineyard’s personnel and will now require a complete renovation.
The garage
An ancient metal gate from the street opens on to a short concrete drive that leads to a garage, recently built and partially concealed by the garden’s vegetation, which features a floor area of approximately 45 m² and a single-pitched barrel tile roof.
