This grand house is crowned with a slate roof. The fine edifice was built at the end of the 18th century. Its interior was developed at the start of the 19th century. It has a ground floor and a first floor, each offering a floor area of around 120m², and a loft that could be converted. Its elevations display the characteristic symmetry of classical architecture. Its facade has five bays of large windows with a central axis formed by the entrance door and the first floor’s central window. The windows have large panes and are fitted with louvred shutters on the first floor and partly louvred shutters on the ground floor. The quoins and door and window surrounds are made of exposed local dressed stone. Wrought-iron balustrades bring out the rendered elevations, which mostly face west and south. A garden court links the grand house to an outbuilding with two levels. This annexe offers a total floor area of around 100m². It could be converted. The whole property is walled. Only a large gate with stone pillars forms an opening in its enclosing walls. The plot covers around 480m².

The grand house

The ground floor
A few front steps take you up to the entrance door, which stands beneath an elegant canopy. This entrance door leads into a hallway. The ground floor is raised. The entrance hall has a floor of limestone tiles patterned with square slate inserts. On both sides, this hallway connects to reception rooms with oak strip flooring and ceilings embellished with cornices and ceiling roses. The hall leads to a spiral staircase with a rosewood handrail inlaid with brass. A skylight fills the stairwell and hallway with natural light. The stairwell has stucco walls. The walls of the lounge, dining room and library are adorned with wooden dado panelling. The upper sections of these walls are covered in high-quality fabric from Pierre Frey and Braquenié. The corner lounge, which is generously sized, features a Louis XIV style red marble fireplace. The library, which is cosy and convivial, lies beyond it. This library has kept its 19th-century fireplace. The corner dining room, which has a stucco alcove where a ceramic stove probably once stood, looks out at the garden court. Beyond a small hallway that connects to a guest lavatory and a scullery, there is an old kitchen with a floor of terracotta tiles. This kitchen needs to be fitted. It leads outside onto a small terrace at the same level as it and to the garden court.

The upstairs
The first floor’s layout mirrors that of the ground floor, with four large rooms arranged around a central gallery with stucco walls. Oak floors adorn the rooms and the ceilings are embellished with cornices and ceiling roses. Two bedrooms up here have each kept their fireplace. The other two, which are larger, lie at the house’s corners, above the lounge and dining room. One of them has two wardrobes and walls covered in a fabric designed by the famous French interior designer Jacques Grange. Another room, which is smaller, could easily be turned into a bathroom with a lavatory.

The attic
The loft offers a floor area of around 100m². It is divided into four rooms and an attic space, which are arranged around a spacious landing. This floor has a comfortable ceiling height up to the roof ridge and windows that look out at the garden court.
