A country road, lined with several traditional farms, traverses immense meadows populated with Charolaise beef cattle, before the property slowly starts to come into view: a British-inspired manor surrounded by grounds planted with ancient trees.
A gravel area skirts the building and provides parking for several vehicles, while, not far off, an elongated outbuilding faces a well with its wheel. In addition, to the south, the grounds contain a swimming pool and its machine room, whereas several Medici vases mark the entrance to this impressive dwelling.
Constructed entirely over a basement level, the three-storey manor’s exteriors feature a polychrome brick and stone composition, cadenced by many large-paned windows topped with stone lintels, while two balconies provide eye-catching architectural elements for its main façade: the first showcases the manor’s front door and is extended by a stone staircase, safeguarded by an ornate bannister with a scroll pattern, the motif of which is then repeated on the upper balcony’s guardrails.
With brick and stone quoins and window/door surrounds, the dwelling also boasts a tower, highlighting the edifice’s verticality, which has preserved its brick quoins as well as its horizontal stringcourses indicating its different floors. As for the tower’s upper level, it is clad in regional bricks and punctuated by windows topped with small glazed fanlights, while the manor’s slate roof, hipped over the tower, but gabled everywhere else, has been completely redone and is punctuated by gable dormers with triangular pediments.

The Manor House

The ground floor
The front double doors, adorned with leadwork designs and topped with an ornate glazed fanlight, opens on to a large entrance hall with a chevron parquet floor, which provides access to several rooms on this level, including a small sitting room with oak parquet floors and a marble fireplace crowned with a finely gilded mirror. Two glazed bookcases, with cupboards under their shelving, frame the entrance to the small sitting room, while a moulded door gives on to a bathroom with a double-glazed window and a black and white tile floor, which could be turned into a bedroom.
Opposite the entrance hall, a bedroom, facing north, enjoys views of the grounds, whereas, extending on from here is a lavatory, followed by a fitted kitchen, large enough to eat meals in and featuring a number of cupboards as well as untreated oak parquet floors.
To the east, a large drawing room, with chevron parquet floors, is used as both a dining room and living room, while its many windows, facing the grounds, highlight its two central ceiling roses, crown moulding, wraparound wainscoting, as well as two impressive marble fireplaces: one in the living room and the other to the south in the dining room, not far from a small kitchen furnished with china cupboards.
Back in the entrance hall, a wide winding wooden staircase, providing upstairs access, is safeguarded by a bannister with a decorative wooden orb and a handrail, whereas its scroll-shaped first step creates a circular arc around the base of the bannister.
The first floor
At the top of the staircase, an immense landing with light-colour parquet floors provides access to three bedrooms facing north. The first, with a carpeted floor, comes with its own shower room, while, following on from here is a children’s room with a wardrobe as well as a third bedroom, larger in size, featuring three windows, a fireplace, straight-plank oak parquet floors and its own private bathroom.
To the south, two more rooms each come with a fireplace and a shower room, whereas glass double doors open on to a terrace safeguarded by an ornate stone guardrail and furnished with benches and chairs facing the surrounding countryside.
The second floor
With one bedroom, bathed in light by a standard-size window, this floor also includes an attic, separated from the landing via a large atelier window, whose proportions make it possible for further development, once initial renovations have first been completed.
The basement
The dwelling, built in the 19th century over a basement level, features a large volume accessible from the ground floor and divided into several different rooms. A door opens on to an initial space with original terracotta floor tiles that communicates with eight rooms, some of which have double-glazed windows as well as separate entrances, providing direct access to the grounds, whereas the floors alternate between original terracotta tiles and Burgundy flagstones.
