From a country lane, an entrance with vegetation leads onto a driveway that runs through the grounds, which are surrounded by woods. This driveway takes you up to the main house. The dwelling was built on a 17th-century fiefdom. In the 19th century, it became a “modern home with a grand drive and rich outbuildings”. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. The edifice is crowned with a hipped slate roof. Its elevations are made of tuffeau stone, which are coated with rendering except for the quoins, which are exposed and protrude slightly. The features of this rectangular construction are plain and pale. Many evenly spaced windows, fitted with shutters and light-toned louvred shutters, mark the dwelling’s symmetrical design. A symmetrical pair of structures with gabled roofs protrude from the house’s south side. On the south-west side, there is an L-shaped building. It has a ground floor and a first floor in the roof space. On the west side, there is a barn with a loft at the top. A former kennel is set back on the south side. The grounds are made up of over three hectares of meadows and just as many woods. In total, the whole plot covers more than seven hectares.

The house

The ground floor
A spacious entrance hall connects to the reception rooms. This space has a floor of cement tiles. Dado panelling adorns the walls and mouldings underline the ceiling. On one side, there is a lounge filled with natural light from four windows. This dual-aspect room offers far-reaching views of the grounds. Beside this lounge, there is a dining room of the same size. It faces east. These two rooms have oak herringbone parquet. Dado panelling adorns the walls, mouldings underline the ceilings and black marble forms the fireplaces. On the other side, a corridor leads to a kitchen with a scullery and a door that takes you straight outside. This corridor also connects to a bedroom with a floor of cement tiles. It has a marble fireplace and an adjoining bathroom with a lavatory. This bedroom looks outside. An office with a fireplace completes this ground floor. And in the entrance hall, a lavatory lies beneath the stairs.


The first floor
A landing with pinewood strip flooring connects to four bedrooms, an office that adjoins one of them, and a bathroom. The first bedroom has a floor of cement tiles. It lies beside a lavatory discreetly fitted in a cupboard. The other bedrooms all have wood strip flooring. Two of them are linked together via a hallway. The landing also connects to a lavatory. All the bedrooms have marble fireplaces.


The attic
Five extra bedrooms have been fitted in the roof space. They have sloping attic ceilings and floors of cement or terracotta tiles. One of them has a marble fireplace. Another has a lavatory.

The outbuildings

An L-shaped building with a 250m² floor area houses a stable that has kept its looseboxes, as well as a saddle room, a former section for the grooms, and an apartment that used to host relatives during the summer holidays. The barn has a 50m² floor area. Today, it serves as a garage and as a storeroom for equipment used to maintain the property. The former kennel bears witness to the estate’s past in hunting.

The grounds

Vast meadows edged with woods extend around the house and make the whole estate look like the English countryside. There was once a kitchen garden behind the main outbuilding.
