Screened from view and set on slightly rising ground, the chateau — classically composed and positioned at the edge of a wood — looks out over fields and open ground beyond the hamlet's rooftops. Lawns and ornamental trees form a verdant setting on all sides. A 15th-century dovecote, fully restored, stands on the main lawn, its polygonal silhouette a distinctive presence.
Several outbuildings complete the estate: the service quarters adjoin the main house, while at the far end of the park, on lower ground, a former farm — now converted into a distillery — and a caretaker's house offer the possibility of independent use. The park, of around 3 ha, surrounds the buildings. It comprises extensive lawns leading to an orchard planted principally with apple trees, and a section of woodland.

The chateau

Listed as a historic monument, the chateau traces its origins to a 13th-century medieval lordship, still legible in certain surviving sections. A 15th-century timber-framed and cob manor house followed, of which several elements remain. The present character was established in the 17th century, when the addition of a brick and stone facade marked a decisive shift toward classical architecture.
Further work in the 17th and 18th centuries brought wooden panelling, decorative interiors and new proportions — all without disturbing the underlying structure. The accumulation of these successive periods gives the building a rare architectural depth.
Entry is through an ornate wrought-iron gate flanked by brick piers, opening onto a gravelled courtyard. Tall windows bordered by stone quoins punctuate the facade in regular bays. The slightly projecting central section extends into a lower wing and a building adjoining the end wall, which contains a self-contained apartment. A steeply pitched slate roof pierced with dormers crowns the whole. The chateau comprises four bedrooms, two reception rooms and a dining room, with several further rooms awaiting conversion.

The ground floor
Reached by a perron, entry is through a glazed door whose stone surround is crowned by a carved scallop shell. The vestibule beyond rises to a generous ceiling height; its floor is laid in black and white chequerboard and its walls retain exposed timber framing. A Louis XIII-period wooden staircase with shallow treads rises to the upper levels.
To the left, a first reception room enjoys dual-aspect light. A marble fireplace, 18th-century panelled walls with mouldings picked out in contrasting tones, and a ceiling of exposed beams give the room considerable character. Several joists still bear traces of coats of arms chiselled away during the Revolution.
Beyond lies the oldest part of the chateau, now fitted as a kitchen — the original 13th-century dwelling, beneath which the former dungeons serve as a cellar. Brick and stone walls, vaulting and original openings have all been preserved. A long glazed bay, added more recently, overlooks the park and floods the room with light. The floor is laid with encaustic tiles in geometric patterns.
In the left wing, a small sitting room is arranged around a large brick fireplace. A concealed entrance formed by cupboard doors leads through to the kitchen, where a bread oven and stove occupy the hearth. The ceiling has exposed beams; the floor, square terracotta tiles. The room connects to a more rustic space with brick walls — still to be put to use — from which a passage descends to a medieval cellar.
To the right of the entrance, the dining room is arranged around an imposing fireplace whose stone and brick mantel retains the piercings for the original roasting spits. Dual-aspect light, a French-style beamed ceiling, timber-framed and cob walls, and a floor of antique straight-laid parquet complete the room. It connects to a self-contained apartment in the right wing, also accessible from outside, comprising a large room with a kitchen, brick fireplace and terracotta-tiled floor, and above, a mezzanine bedroom under the roof with a bathroom.
The first floor
A wooden staircase with broad treads, turned balusters and a moulded handrail leads to a landing from which all rooms are reached. The first bedroom is lined with dado panelling and antique wallpapers, and has an open alcove and a marble fireplace. Two large windows make it very light; the ceiling carries painted exposed joists and the floor is wide-board parquet. A bathroom adjoins.
The second bedroom has a fireplace with a moulded mantel set into full-height panelling with decorative panels. A carved trumeau marks the room's central axis; two alcoves flank the door. The ceiling, painted, has exposed beams; the floor is antique wide-board parquet. The bathroom beyond connects to a third bedroom, simpler in character, with a fireplace surmounted by a trumeau, antique wallpapers and a small-paned window. The floor is antique parquet laid over a brick base. Additional floor area at this level offers scope for extension or reconfiguration.
The second floor
The top level extends across the full footprint of the chateau beneath an exposed frame of large-section antique timbers that reflect the original structure. Currently used as an attic, it remains to be converted and offers significant potential.
