A small road winds through the wooded countryside to a long apple-tree lined drive at the entrance to the property, from where the view takes in the surrounding countryside and wheat fields. The residence pokes through the vegetation, with a hipped roof made of period tiles, punctuated by a tall chimney stack. The edifice was built in the 16th century using different shades of rough-hewn sandstone blocks and has four storeys, one of which is an attic, all linked by a spiral staircase. The fortified manor house with a square layout is flanked by a tower topped by a single-sloped tiled roof, in which there is a small watch room punctuated by an arrow window above a bread oven. In front of the southern facade, a wide, paved patio lined by a low wall occupies the filled-in former moat that encircled the residence. To the rear, a stone and brick outbuilding houses a boiler room, garage and woodstore. Opposite the house, an orchard slightly overlooks part of the garden, while a stone wall borders one edge of the property.

The fortified manor house

Denticulated moulding underlines the roof, which is dominated by a large gable dormer with a stone pediment. Orifices dating from the construction period have been preserved on the facade, where several mullion windows, typical of Renaissance architecture, punctuate three levels. The window and door surrounds are made of ashlar and adorned with sculpted, scroll-shaped corbels. Between the first and second floors there is an entirely dressed stone stringcourse.

The garden-level floor
On one side, the entrance hall leads to an approximately 40-m² lounge / living room. Light streams in through a wide window that is protected outside by a wrought-iron grate. In the building’s beginnings, this window was located at the level of the moat. On the ceiling, a cross vault joins the supporting walls, with a former lord’s coat of arms in relief placed at the centre of a keystone. The bread oven is visible through a large opening in the stone fireplace and a stone sink is still present, denoting the location of the residence’s former kitchen. On one side of the hearth, several sandstone steps lead to the watch room punctuated with arrow windows. A former scullery has been transformed into a fitted kitchen and still boasts the old hooks from which game was hung. Light filters into the room through arched basement windows, while the floor is paved with slabs of sandstone laid in a staggered pattern. A small-paned double-leaf door leads outside to a vast tree-lined patio. The ceiling height exceeds 3 metres and a lavatory can be found in the entrance hall.
The first floor
This level can be reached via a spiral staircase and includes a lounge / study, a bedroom with a dressed stone Renaissance fireplace and a bathroom located in the tower. Period wood panelling adorns all the walls of the study, with a built-in wardrobe and shelves, while the door to the bathroom blends into the woodwork. The cupboards are fitted with time-weathered wrought-iron knobs, while the ceiling boasts exposed beams. The bedroom and lounge are bathed in light that streams through the level via wide mullion windows fitted with shutters. The floors are paved with terracotta tiles interspersed with red and yellow fleur-de-lys patterned taco tiling.
The second floor
The view from this level takes in the entire surrounding countryside. A large bedroom, dominated by an immense ashlar fireplace topped by a simple mantelpiece, with oakwood flooring and a shower room occupy this level. The exposed beams on the ceiling are painted white.
The attic
This bright level is made up of a lounge and an entirely renovated bedroom. It is bathed in light through dormer windows and the two parts are separated by the truss of the exposed roof frame. The staircase boasts wide stone steps and is protected by a modern, black, matt steel guard-rail.
