Located on the most beautiful street in town, a black electric gate conceals the dwelling set at an angle of 45°. To the right, the 15th century building is flanked by a pyramid-roofed staircase tower. At the end of the courtyard-garden, the 17th century facade features large windows and basket-arched dormers in the lower slope of the slate roof, which is in a good state of repair.
Behind, at right angles, a former coach house has been converted above a covered patio overlooking a second garden, while a third garden stretches out on the other side of the 15th-century building. There are several different ways in. The main entrance extends through the 17th-century part of the building, leading past a breakfast or dining room to the well-appointed kitchen. In the oldest wing of the residence, a vast hallway leads to a first sitting room (or dining room) with a fireplace. This is followed by a large, full-width sitting room with its monumental fireplace, facing the courtyard-garden and the south side. Around a corner, a discreet south-facing bedroom with en-suite shower room and lavatory overlooks the third garden. The tower of the spiral staircase, accessed directly from the large sitting room, leads to a suite (bedroom, study, dressing room, shower room) offering a breathtaking view of the town, the river and the chateau. On the same landing, another original door provides access to a wide corridor serving a further bedroom on the south side with en-suite shower room and separate lavatory, and then, now in the 17th-century section of the building, to two further bedrooms, each with en-suite shower room and toilet (separate in the second). All the rooms have been decorated in a different, distinctive style. The oldest part of the dwelling is built over three cellars and topped by a vast attic under a roof frame in the form of an inverted hull. A closed garage opens onto the courtyard garden. In the second garden, under the kitchen, there is a laundry room. Gas-fired heating is provided via the travertine floor on the ground level, and via radiators on the upper storey, where the flooring is of hardwood. All the ceilings feature glass wool insulation. The entire residence has a good Internet connection, thanks to fibre broadband and repeaters.

The residence

Dating back to the 15th - 17th century, the building features contrasting architectural styles, while the large windows, whether original or created over time, lend an overall sense of unity. It extends over two sides of the courtyard-garden, which is large enough to house several cars and also provides access to the closed garage.

The ground floor
The main entrance is located in the 17th century main building, whose facade is smoothly finished. The vast full-depth hallway boasts a striking reconstructed confessional with reclaimed elements, concealing a lavatory. An old stained-glass window provides light. This hall opens onto a covered patio with a travertine floor: on one side is the old converted coach house, at right angles to the main building, and on the other is an ornamental garden connecting to the laundry room. The openings of the former coach house are framed with toothed tuffeau limestone and topped with wooden lintels.
The east-facing kitchen and the breakfast room are extensions to the 15th century section of the residence. Two years ago, particular care was taken to furnish and equip the kitchen: imitation marble ceramics for the central island and worktop, column ovens, carefully thought-out storage units, a "grocery" area, and more. In the 15th century wing, the two sitting rooms, which are connected by two double glass doors as well as a corridor, are decorated with mouldings created by a staff specialist. The first, known as the "Salon de Marie-Antoinette" because of its Louis XVI style, receives light from the south through a large, small-paned window with internal shutters. The second sitting room is spacious enough to also accommodate a large dining table. It spans the width of the main building, between the staircase tower and a French window overlooking the courtyard-garden and two very large windows with internal shutters on the other side. The mantel and hood of the large functioning fireplace are classic in style. A door hidden in a faux bookcase leads to a bedroom nicknamed "Agatha Christie" with a shower room and separate lavatory. It has its own separate entrance door, opening out to a staircase down to the third garden.
The first floor
The polygonal, pyramid-roofed 15th-century tower features a doorway in the form of an ogee and similar or basket-arched windows.
It contains a spiral staircase that can be accessed directly from the sitting room, without having to step outside. The banister is a very fine piece of work by an expert wrought iron craftsman. Two adjoining moulded doors open onto the first landing. The door on the right leads through a small passageway into a suite comprising a bedroom with two windows offering a view to the south over the river, the chateau and the old houses of the small town, a study with a window on the same side, a large shower room with toilet and a walk-in wardrobe.
The door on the left of the landing opens onto a very bright corridor (with windows overlooking the courtyard garden) set at right angles, serving three bedrooms.
The first of these has an en-suite shower room and faces south. It is known as 'Sakura' because of its Japanese-style decor. The walls are painted a subtle shade of green. There is a separate lavatory. The second bedroom is very Napoleon III Baroque Revival, with wallpaper featuring trompe-l'oeil woodwork. It faces east and its shower room with toilet faces south. The last, west-facing bedroom takes on a different style, with a resolutely contemporary look. A partition at the head of the bed conceals a walk-in wardrobe. Opposite the entrance, the shower room is half open (with the shower hidden by glass tiles) and half separated from the bedroom, although a delicately designed set of shelves has been placed in an opening. The spiral staircase continues up to the attic space with a floor area of around 89 m² under a ship's hull roof structure.
The basement
There are three cellars under the 15th century main building. They have earthen floors. They cover 38m², 45m² (vault) and 27m² (wine cellar) respectively.
