Built at the end of the 19th century, the property with thick mortared stone walls is the last house at the end of a little-used road. The evenly spaced windows, most of which are rectangular and some of which are very wide, open onto the garden and provide the many rooms in the house with abundant light. All the old windows and doors have been replaced with new units of metal and burglar-proof glass. The windowsills are of Belgian red brick. The gable roofs of the various buildings that make up the house are clad with either interlocking or flat tiles.
The large house comprises several sections arranged in a U-shape around the garden, and has been completely restored by its last inhabitants, who have turned it into an elegant and comfortable home. The main materials used - wood, metal and cement - were combined with finishes in warm tones to make the house as welcoming as possible and to give it a more contemporary feel.
A path leads to the discreet entrance of the residence, which features a discreet metal doorway topped by two wall-mounted lamps. Through the main door of the house, a large glass opening reveals the full extent of the landscaped garden and the swimming pool. To the left of the entrance, a hallway leads to the reception areas: a large sitting room and a dining room, extended by a large kitchen. Upstairs, there is the master bedroom, its closet and bathroom. Off to the side are a scullery and a utility room.
To the right of the entrance hall, a corridor leads to the other bedrooms: two each with a mezzanine above, a bedroom currently reserved for friends, and a small sitting room. Finally, there is another bedroom with a bathroom on the upper floor.

The house

The ground floor
The spacious entrance features a bold colour scheme, with herringbone parquet flooring in burnt black Belgian oak and smoky green walls punctuated by gold mirrors. To one side, a metal-framed cupboard serves as a wardrobe with storage space.
The entrance hall leads into the sitting and dining room, where the choice of materials creates a warm atmosphere: straight, wide-strip strip-cut solid oak flooring, a fireplace with insert, and a white-painted, beamed ceiling.
The kitchen is the other centrepiece of the house. Lined with large picture windows, it has been specially designed to give the impression of being outdoors. This is an ideal spot for gatherings. The cement-tiled floor complements the black granite of the worktops and the semi-professional range cooker. A scullery and adjacent linen room add to the day-to-day comforts.
To the right of the entrance, a long corridor leads to another wing of the house containing more private areas: two bedrooms with mezzanine floors, a guest room overlooking the garden and the pool, a small snuggery or multimedia room, topped by another large bedroom with its own spacious bathroom.
The upstairs
A wood and metal staircase leads to the upper storey. The space currently used by the parents is located above the sitting room: a large bedroom of more than 31 m² in the roofspace, with a closet and bathroom equipped with a large washbasin, a traditional bathtub and an open shower. On the same level is another very spacious bedroom with built-in wardrobe, followed by a well-appointed bathroom with double washbasin, bath and shower. All bathrooms feature retro-style porcelain toilets and Mexican ceramic washbasins. In the bathroom currently reserved for guests, the basins are integrated into a travertine-covered top edged with Italian tiles. The other bathrooms are tiled in white travertine. The taps and showerheads are sourced from Italy.
