The property is among the most emblematic of the town and is tucked away behind an elegant iron gate that opens in front of the residence into an enclosed garden including outbuildings. A harmoniously split cobbled drive leads up to the house. The richly decorated residence is characteristic of its era’s eclecticism. Thanks to its picturesque style, it strikes a clear contrast with the surrounding buildings. The façade is divided into three vertical rows of openings over three levels and is marked by many recesses both vertically and horizontally. A circular tower, topped with a pepper-pot roof, stands at the northern corner, while the southern part is occupied by a protruding section that is higher than the rest of the façade, topped with a half-hipped roof. The edifice includes a clever mix of several colours: exposed millstone, red and white bricks, dark green or green glazed bricks, and glazed ceramic taco tiling. The décor also uses wood, particularly moulded angle braces on dormer windows and the porch, and the edifice is punctuated with wide windows, including mullion windows, allowing the interior to be bathed in light. All in all, it forms a veritable manifesto for late 19th century architecture. Lastly, near to the house, which is surrounded by a belt of green, there are former stables that have been converted into outbuildings.

The house

The ground floor
The entrance is sheltered by a sculpted wooden neo-Gothic style porch. Under its awning, the entrance door is topped by a lancet arch, beneath which there is a delicate stained-glass tympanum. Once through the door, the view extends over the paved floor graced with a magnificent mosaic of tiles. Similarly, the walls, some of which are wood panelled while others are painted in warm tones, create a velvety and welcoming atmosphere. Sculpted mouldings and cornices adorn the tops of the walls and ceiling. To the left, there is a former ceremonial lounge with walls covered in damask patterned wallpaper. The wood panelling, mouldings and high ceiling all come together to form a classical atmosphere. It is followed by another lounge with furniture and decorative features that are equally classic. At one end, it opens into a veranda with glazing and a wrought iron structure inspired by Art Nouveau. The large French windows open onto the garden. A hallway, with a tiled mosaic floor, leads to the kitchen. To the right of the entrance corridor, there is an office that has retained the mark of time. It in turn leads to a lounge with a strong character, with walls painted in terracotta hues and adorned with finely crafted ceiling mouldings. It is generously bathed in light through the tall windows.
The first floor
After climbing up a moulded wooden staircase, a corridor leads to the various spaces on this level. A discrete hall is used as wardrobe space and is followed, in particular, by a period bathroom and a lavatory. Lastly, there is the house’s first bedroom, into which light streams and whose walls are adorned with wood-panelling, plus finely sculpted moulding framing the discretely patterned panels of wallpaper. The high ceiling also boasts elaborate moulding and rose features. A classically shaped, white marble fireplace adorns the room. Above the fireplace, there is an overmantel graced with 18th-century rural patterns, which can also be found over the door lintels, painted on panels or mounted, giving the room a bucolic feel. Additionally, at the end of the corridor, there is another hall and two other bedrooms, opposite the other rooms, composed in much the same way as the first.
The second floor
This level possesses the same layout as the one below: a landing, with exposed beams, at the top of the staircase is used for storage. It is followed by a lavatory and more storage space, after which there are three other rooms, including a big office that is the house’s largest room, with a ceiling height of 3.6 metres. It opens to the west onto a large balcony. The other rooms can be transformed into extra bedrooms beneath the rafters.
The basement
This level is semi-underground and has a surface of approximately 122 m². It can be reached from inside the house and is made up of four rooms - which could be used as utility rooms - , three cellars, two of which are vaulted, as well as a boiler room.
