The property is located in the village’s centre but is protected by 1 hectare of uninterrupted land, set around a 19th-century mansion, its outbuildings and a vast, walled orchard and vegetable garden. From the street, there are two successive entrances: to the north, a gate that has become the everyday entrance leads, via an open space, to a gravelled esplanade used for car parking, while to the south, the historical entrance opens in front of the mansion’s southern and most remarkable façade. The approximately 440-m² residence was erected in in 1881 and displays a balanced arrangement that mixes classical rigour with romantic ingenuity. It stands out thanks to its slate roofs topped by tall brick chimney stacks and punctuated by dormers with sculpted pediments. The rendered walls are dotted with tall windows equipped with louvred shutters and granite frames. The regularly shaped central section is flanked to the west by a rectangular tower and to the east by a round tower topped by a slender pepper-pot roof. The deep red central entrance door, framed by pilasters, stands atop a stone stoop that can be reached from a panoramic lawned terrace overlooking the tree-lined and flowery grounds. The Italian style outbuildings, known locally as the Clissonnais style, run alongside the west of the residence and extend to the former stabling area, which are remains of the original farm buildings. To the rear, there is an approximately 4,000-m² orchard and vegetable garden.

The mansion

The residence’s three storeys and almost 440-m² of living space are built on a basement level. The edifice has undergone a wide-ranging restoration, including installation of a central wood pellet fired boiler, roof insulation, double-glazed windows, renovated plumbing and electric fittings, upgraded sanitation facilities and repainting.

The ground floor
This raised level totals a surface of approximately 159-m² and is laid out around an entrance hall paved with geometrically patterned cement tiles. A wooden staircase with a wrought-iron balustrade climbs upstairs from the hall. In the eastern part, a double lounge with a surface of approximately 38 m² is bathed in light through tall windows facing the grounds as well as through glazed doors. It boasts chevron-patterned wood flooring beneath a ceiling edged with mouldings. Next to the lounge, a cosier office can be found in the round tower. A glazed French window topped with a fanlight window opens directly into the grounds.
In the western part, there is a dining room with Herringbone flooring. The ceiling roses, wainscotting and marble fireplaces pay witness to the care lavished upon the decoration of the interior, in which the ceiling height reaches 3.30 metres. The square tower houses a hallway with diagonally paved terracotta tiles. In the partially tiled walls, there is still a porcelain fountain as a discrete reminder of the place’s domestic purpose. It leads to an approximately 20-m² former bedroom that is today used as a library. This dual-aspect room with regular volumes and discrete mouldings is adjacent to a shower room with a lavatory.
In the rear wing, a large kitchen, next to which there is a storeroom, opens out onto the grounds. The period tiled floor has been burnished by time, while the imposing masonry hood is underlined by coloured tiles. Although this room could do with being renovated, it nonetheless offers an attractive basis for restoring one of the house’s centrepieces to its pleasant and functional purpose. Lastly, a second staircase that was previously reserved for domestic staff, climbs up to the attic space.
The first floor
The approximately 146-m² first floor is occupied by private spaces. It includes five bedrooms with surfaces between 19 m² and 21 m². All of them are dual aspect, boast impressive ceiling heights, marble fireplaces of various colours and straight wood stripped flooring. A small office in the round tower is graced with carefully pointed exposed stonework on one of its walls. This level also includes a bathroom and a shower room, both of which possess a lavatory each. Lastly, a vast, dual-aspect room has been converted into a walk-in wardrobe.
The second floor
Beneath the rafters, the horizontal ceilings were removed when the insulation was installed to leave the roof frame exposed. This last, approximately 135-m² level houses three bedrooms, a shower room, a bathroom and a small lounge. There is light-yellow, wide, wood stripped flooring throughout. Thanks to the ceiling heights and tall windows, the rooms are bathed in light. These sober and elegant volumes could equally be put to family use or destined for guest accommodation. A vast, approximately 37-m² space referred to as the games room, with access to the round tower, awaits refurbishment.
The base level
This level includes technical facilities including a wood pellet fired boiler and accompanying pellet silo. The floor is covered with screed, while the floorboards have been insulated using wood wool.
