The main residence, part of the municipality's protected built heritage, has stood on a walled plot of more than 2 000 m² since 1843. The floor tiles and parquet flooring, the high ceilings, the mouldings and the views over the large, well-kept garden and the protected landscaped area make this a unique residence. Since the early 2000s, a modern, flat-roofed extension, inspired by the Brutalist style, has been added, creating an aesthetic contrast. On the garden level, on either side of a through corridor, are found the living areas: a double, three-way reception room, with a French window providing access to the garden, and a comfortable dining room, visually linked to the kitchen by a large, custom-made glass wall. All rooms open onto the greenery. In the modern section, two comfortable, bright bedrooms, each with its own shower room and separate toilet, occupy the main level. The basement, semi-underground and lit by basement window wells, contains two large rooms, currently used as offices or libraries. The first floor of the old house, accessed by an oak spiral staircase, has three bedrooms. One of these, measuring around 15 m², leads to a room with a window that has been converted into a spacious wardrobe. The second, which is large (around 17 m²) is used as an office and the third is a small bedroom measuring around 9 m². The bedrooms are next to a bathroom and a separate toilet. A trapdoor in the ceiling provides access, via a retractable staircase, to the vast attic space under the tiled, hip roof, which was renovated and insulated in 2004. Finally, the old house has an underground level that takes up its entire floor area. In addition to a large vaulted cellar, there is a laundry room and a workshop housing the boiler room. The property, surrounded by stone walls lined with a belt of trees and shrubs, can be accessed from two sides, each opening onto a gate. A semi-private driveway running alongside the plot also provides parking space for several vehicles.

The house

This has around 205 m² of living space, plus the basement of the old part spanning almost 55 m². The façades are rendered, light and sober, with stringcourses and a cornice, ashlar quoins, straight windows in a regular layout with moulded surrounds, wrought iron railings and painted wooden shutters or semi-louvred shutters. Lastly, the roof is a four-sided mechanical tile roof topped by a chimney stump.

The garden-level floor
The staircase leading to the entrance door, topped by a swan-necked lamp and a moulded entablature, sets the tone for this remarkable residence from the outset. The corridor, with its floor covered in old terracotta tiles, leads on the left to a living room and on the right to a dining room followed by a kitchen. The living room, with its two reception areas and four windows, benefits from an abundance of light throughout the day thanks to its three orientations. The floor is covered in old terracotta tiles that the current occupants found in Burgundy. A side patio door provides outside access. The spacious dining room has the same floor tiles as the hallway and faces the front of the house. The ceiling is adorned with mouldings and the walls with white-painted panelling. Facing south-east, it benefits from the morning sun but also looks out over the garden to the back, thanks to the metal structure, the beginning of a glass wall, which encloses the kitchen without really separating it from the dining area. Finally, at the end of the corridor, a door aligned with the entrance leads up a few stone steps to the garden.
The upstairs
From the corridor leading off from the entrance, an original solid oak staircase leads to the second floor. The landing, bathed in natural light thanks to a large window overlooking a majestic poplar tree, leads to two south-east-facing bedrooms measuring around 15 and 17 m² respectively. One of them has a spacious wardrobe with a window. On the other side, there is a more modest bedroom measuring almost 9 m², a bathroom with shower and a separate toilet lit by a bull's eye. Most of the floors have fine strip parquet and the ceilings are trimmed with mouldings. This level also provides access to the high attic space, where you can see the insulation in the roof, which was renovated in the early 2000s.
L'extension
The contemporary-style, flat-roofed, concrete-structured extension was built in the early 2000s. It is entered from the main house, via the dining room. On this level there are two bedrooms, each measuring around 12 m², each with its own high French windows, washbasin and large wardrobe. The floor has a shower room and a separate toilet. Lastly, a staircase leads down to the semi-underground basement, which is of a similar size and comprises around 35 m² of office/library space divided into two rooms and lit by skylights.
The basement
This is accessed via an external door hidden to the side of the stone staircase leading to the rear entrance of the house. Anecdotally, it once served as a nightclub, of which there remains a naïve-style fresco, with dancing blue silhouettes, at the bottom of the staircase, with a bar still in place, in a vaulted room that would make a perfect wine cellar. On the right as you go downstairs, a vast room, fitted out as a utility room and lined with cupboards, is followed by a workshop, which forms the boiler room, equipped with a recent boiler. The basement hallway is wide enough to be used as storage space.
