A secondary road leads to the property via the west, running alongside a thick hedge that opens in line with the setting sun. It then reveals the exteriors of the buildings laid out around a square paved courtyard. The latter is closed by iron gates in two places, on either side of a little house standing on the east side. The main house is on the north side, facing the courtyard, whilst opposite, on the south side, is a large covered area, extended by a barn, followed by a house on the right-hand side of the entrance. On the left-hand side of the latter is a vast, L-shaped barn, with another building adjoining the main house. The L-shape encompasses a swimming pool. The tennis court is further east, on the other side, at the end of the parklands enhanced with tall trees as well as fruit trees.

The chaplaincy

As for all the buildings, the thick walls of this chaplaincy are constructed from exposed quarry stone blocks, known as “shellstone”, with dressed stone surrounds framing most of the doors and inward-opening windows. The wooden shutters are mouse-grey in colour. The low, hip roofs are covered with terracotta Roman tiles.

The ground floor
The entrance door, topped with its bull’s eye window, opens into a large corridor, with a high ceiling featuring oak wood joists and, at the end, a pastel-grey, quarter turning, wooden stairway. Enhanced by its colour, it stands out from the white walls like an ornament. A stone sink is set in a corner on the immediate left-hand side.
Doors on either side open into two vast rooms, a lounge on the left, with its stone fireplace, typical of the region, and a living room on the right, with its stone fireplace. Both fireplaces extend up to oak wood, French ceilings which contrast elegantly with the whiteness of the walls. A French window makes it possible to go from the living room out into the parklands on the east side, with its tennis court.
On the left-hand side behind the stairway, a toilet with a wash-hand basin, gives way to a room laid out as a study, its oak wood flooring reflecting the patina of time. It is enhanced with a corner stone fireplace, adorned with wooden facing, leaving exposed the sculpture of its pilasters rising up to the cornice edging the ceiling.
A door opens into a large, south-facing lounge, where a French window gives direct access to the swimming pool on the west side. Another door leads northwards to the adjoining barn.
On the other side, to the right of the stairway, the corridor opens into a kitchen, made bright by its walls and French ceiling, reflecting the delicate rays from the French windows. This room is embellished with a fireplace, its old stone jambs bearing witness to the age of the premises. On the north side, next to a work surface, a door opens into a vast room, a summer kitchen, with terracotta floor tiles and an exposed oak wood roofing framework. A fireplace used for cooking purposes is in one corner. A door provides access to the barn, standing on the west of the main house. Composed of exposed stone, it is surrounded by picture windows opening on to the outside.

The first floor
This floor, laid out under the rafters, has been converted, with wooden flooring, and made luminous by windows set in the walls under the roof. The landing, lined with large cupboards, houses a little lounge, illuminated via a skylight. As on the ground floor, the doors are made of natural oak wood. Four bedrooms have been created in the corners of the house. The hues of the walls and ceilings remain light and sober, with natural wooden flooring. Three of the bedrooms have their own bathroom, with a toilet.

The second house

Forming an integral part of the main house, it has the same architectural features as the latter.

The ground floor
The entrance hall gives access to a vast living room, with a fireplace, a kitchen and a toilet. There are floor tiles throughout.
The first floor
The upstairs, with parquet flooring, comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate toilet, with a tiled floor.
