In the Coutance pastureland, with its meadows and dense hedgerows, a minor road leads to a hamlet. The gates of the property open onto a vast courtyard and the chateau. The old 12th-century manor house and the gardens are located to the rear, from where you can enjoy uninterrupted views over a large meadow and the horizon of fields and woods. There are also a small and a large outbuilding used for technical purposes. Lastly, the grounds and groves of trees it contains stretch down the slopes of a small hillside. The L-shaped chateau is topped by slate gable roofs. The elongated coursed rubble masonry walls create a monochrome display of warm tones, brightened in places by light coloured rendering. The window surrounds as well as the stringcourse and cornice separating the different levels are of dressed granite in alternating shades of red and grey. Four bays on one side and nine on the other, all widely spaced, punctuate the facades. The tall openings feature small-paned casement windows and French windows. Their gentle arches soften the straight lines of the most classical architecture. Dating back to the 12th century, the manor house comprises two aligned, slightly staggered buildings, with a a single-pitched roof with slate tiles laid in a diamond pattern on the large one and a gable roof on the smaller one. The walls are of coursed rubble masonry, like those of the chateau, and are supported by impressive buttresses. Lastly, the rectangular surrounds of the openings are also made of dressed granite, some containing lattice windows.

The chateau

The ground floor
In the centre of the large wing, a flight of large approach stairs leads up to a perron. The vast full-depth hall is illuminated by two large French windows. The building faces east/west. The windows are positioned opposite each other, providing maximum light, enhanced by the high ceilings and light-coloured walls contrasting with the mosaic-patterned stonework, which is left exposed in a few places, such as parts of walls or window surrounds. This decorative scheme can also be found in the other rooms of the chateau.
In the centre of the large wing, a large flight of stairs leads up to a stoop. The vast full-depth hall is illuminated by two large French windows. The building faces east-west. The windows are positioned opposite each other, providing maximum light and a heightened feeling of warmth, enhanced by the high ceilings and light-coloured walls contrasting with the mosaic-patterned stonework, which is left exposed in a few places, such as parts of walls or window surrounds. This decorative scheme can also be found in the other rooms of the chateau. The hall leads on one side to a straight staircase, followed by a large reception room into which light streams through five openings. On the other side there is a large sitting room, with exposed beams, and an adjoining dining room. This is then followed by a lounge in which an imposing dressed stone fireplace promises good times by the fireside, as well as a smaller, cosy sitting room and library in the small wing of the chateau. From the dining room, a door opens onto a recently refurbished kitchen, which connects with both an extension containing a professional-grade kitchen and technical areas of the former “Relais & Château” hotel, as well as a conservatory used as a summer lounge. The living rooms are unified by being paved with square terracotta tiles.Throughout the small wing, the flooring is of square quarry tiles, unifying the living areas. The two sitting rooms and one dining room have vaulted ceilings, while one of the libraries features exposed beams and joists. The French windows open on the main courtyard. Here again, the rooms are full-width. An impressive, large fireplace of dressed granite is a reminder of the fact that one of the sitting rooms was originally used as a kitchen. At the far end of the wing, a service hall with the start of a wooden staircase and quarry tile treads leads to the cloakrooms and lavatories intended for the chateau-hotel.
At the back of the large wing, there is a separate lodging with a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, lavatory and mezzanine bedroom.
The upstairs
The staircase climbs up from the entrance up to the corridors leading to ten bedrooms, five smaller bedrooms and a shower room situated on an intermediate level. Light streams into the long corridors through tall windows onto the light-coloured walls sometimes punctuated with exposed stonework and discreet wooden doors. The rooms are beautifully decorated, with alcoves and fireplaces. Each room has an en suite bathroom with lavatory. Part of this level at the end of the wing, with exposed stone walls, gives a free rein to the imagination in a spacious layout.
The attic
The attic floors have recently been insulated with glass wool.
The basement
The vaulted cellar is located at the corner of the two wings and could be converted.
