Standing in the very centre of the town, just a stone’s throw from the market place, the 18th century building is composed of a main section, flanked by two wings set at right angles. In front, a paved courtyard, where it is possible to park one or two cars, is protected from onlookers by gates, covered in vegetation. The garden at the back is enclosed by high stone walls, protecting it from any nuisances. A paved terrace borders the house as far as a small covered section, giving access to a boiler room.
An architect has already drawn up plans for a division into two plots. The first, main house would have a floor area of around 220 m², including a large cellar. The ground floor would comprise an entrance hall, a large sitting room/kitchen/dining room opening onto a garden, lavatories and a utility room. On the first floor, two bedrooms, a shower room, lavatory and study would share the space. The second floor would be divided between two bedrooms, a shower room and a lavatory.
The plans for a second house, which could be rented out for example, with a floor area of around 130 m², show an entrance hall with lavatory, a kitchen-dining room opening onto a garden, a living room and a boiler room on the ground floor. On the first floor, the building would be completed by a master suite comprising a bedroom with closets, a shower room with toilet, two bedrooms and a shower room.

The mansion house

Dating from the 18th century and flanked by two wings set at right angles, the main, 3-storey building stands facing the courtyard which sets it back off the street. The rendered stone facades are topped with a roof, covered in local tiles. A projection houses the zinc-covered entrance. Both wings span two levels. The one on the left-hand side has hanging dormers. The garden facade predominantly features numerous openings, with inward-opening French windows and windows flanked by slatted shutters, painted a light blue; the upstairs windows are enhanced with railings.
This property spans approx. 350 m² of living space.

The ground floor
A heavy oak wood door opens into a spacious entrance hall, the floor of which is paved with mosaic tiles to give a beige and brown geometric pattern. The vestibule provides access, straight on, to a vast, bright living room, spanning approx. 60 m² and opening widely via French windows on to the garden. The ceiling features exposed beams, the floor is laid with strip pattern, oak wood parquet flooring and the room is heated by an impressive fireplace, typical of the 1970’s. It precedes a kitchen, illuminated by a projection, featuring wide French windows and an atrium ceiling. Its vaulted ceiling looks down on to an eating area, the walls of which are lined with numerous cupboards, one of which is fitted with worksurfaces, combining brick and tiles, fitted with all necessary electrical appliances, even a barbecue. From there, a door opens into a back hallway, housing a little stairway. The latter goes up to the first floor and provides access to a large room, laid out in the left-hand wing, with direct access to the street. Here there is the main stairway and access to a toilet, a laundry room and a vast, vaulted, stone cellar, much-appreciated by good wine enthusiasts.
The first floor
A long corridor provides access to three bedrooms, two shower rooms, a bathroom, a billiard room and a toilet. Floors are covered with parquet flooring or carpet.
The second floor
This level comprises a first bedroom, laid with terracotta floor tiles. One of its walls still has its cupboards and its Louis XV style marble fireplace. The walls are lined with Toile-de-Jouy style wallpaper. The half-timbered corridor gives access to a shower room, a toilet as well as a second, large, L-shaped bedroom.
The garden
This garden, enclosed by high walls covered with climbing plants, is laid out behind the building, out of sight of onlookers. With a central lawn, it comprises several trees and shrubs, including a rare and outstanding hackberry tree, low, border hedges as well as a paved area at the foot of the house.
