From the main road that winds its way along the river between forests and marshes, two entrances provide access to the property and its 2 ha of wooded parklands. One leads to a parking area as well as an outbuilding on the edge of a pond. The other, marked by a wrought iron gate flanked by two brick pillars, leads to a second outbuilding and to the steps up to the entrance of the chateau. This is surrounded by large lawned areas enclosed by gates and walls. To the rear of the south-west facing residence, a striking view takes in the Seine and its surrounding countryside.

The chateau

Comprising a four-level main building flanked by two wings, the chateau abounds in architectural details. Dressed stone corner quoins and window frames enhance the red brick facades. The different levels are separated by imposing stringcourses. The openings on the ground floor are topped by semi-circular or segmental arches. On the first floor, they are protected by stone or wrought iron balustrades.
The rear facade of the chateau overlooks the Seine. An impressive three-sided avant-corps, crowned by a stone balustrade, completes the central section of the building. A glass and wrought iron canopy tops three tall French windows. These open onto a terrace where two flights of steps lead down to the gravel courtyard. The recessed wings reinforce the impression of an arc. The front façade of the chateau is divided into three bays. A flight of steps leads to the ground floor entrance, which is also topped by a glass and wrought iron canopy. The tall four-pitched slate roofs have dormers, those of the wings are topped by oeil-de-boeuf windows. The variety of styles adds to the magnificence of the chateau, with gambrel and hip roofs for the main building, and a turret roof topping the avant-corps.

The ground floor
The double glass door opens onto a hallway laid with coloured cement tiles featuring floral motifs. It serves three sitting rooms in a row. On one side, suspended stairs turning to the left lead to the two upper floors. Directly opposite, a double door opens into the kitchen. From there, a staircase leads down to the basement. The central sitting room forms a three-sided avant-corps, generously lit by large arched windows. The three sitting rooms feature herringbone parquet flooring and wainscoting. A white marble fireplace topped by an overmantel mirror with gilded wood frame adorns the semi-circular wall of one of these rooms. Each of the two wings flanking the central section contains a spacious and luminous full-width drawing room. The first has a herringbone parquet floor, wood panelling decorated with painted scenes and ceiling cornices. The other is floored with flagstones and has soberly moulded wainscoting, creating a more contemporary atmosphere. Facing south-west and abutting one of the wings, an iron and glass conservatory, with a wide view of the Seine, forms a transition between the chateau and its garden. A place of companionship where one can share a cup of tea or a place of retreat to simply read a book, this delightful space, in vogue in 19th century châteaux, used to feature collections of exotic plants grown in pots that could easily be moved around.
The first floor
The T-shaped landing, with its herringbone parquet floor and two large windows, leads to the south-west facing master bedroom overlooking the Seine, and to two opposite corridors. These form the connection between the main building and the wings. To the west, an equipped kitchen, a bedroom, a vast living room bathed in light pouring in from four tall windows and a bathroom share the space. To the east, there are a study, two bedrooms and another kitchen. At the turn of each room, new vistas appear over the park and the river. The high ceilings are adorned with cornices, and the rooms have mostly parquet floors.
The second floor
A similar T-shaped landing with parquet flooring is located above the first floor and provides access on either side to two vast, independent flats of almost 100 m². This level under sloping ceilings, fitted out in a so-called "Mansart" framework, offers large volumes. In the central three-sided section overlooking the Seine, a spacious bedroom is generously lit by three double-leaf windows, and has walls clad with painted wainscoting. All the floors are straight strip parquet.
The attic
The two flats located in the roofspace each contain a 25 m2 duplex space with a straight parquet floor accessed by wooden open stairs. They are lit by two oeil-de-boeuf windows facing each other.
The basement
The basement extends under the entire floor area of the chateau, i.e. approx. 225 m², and is entirely tiled except for the wine cellar, the boiler room and the cold rooms. It is accessed from the ground floor kitchen via a stone service staircase with a wrought iron railing. A slate-roofed brick extension, added in the 20th century on the west side of the building, provided easier access for loading vehicles. Indeed, this level housed the sculleries, kitchens and various technical rooms essential to a gastronomic catering business specialising in events.
