Owned by the current family for many years this tuffeau stone property has undergone improvements and today presents a comfortable level of accommodation in a private setting with river frontage. Stone steps lead up to the front door beneath the central balcony.

The entrance hall with original mosaic floor tiles and stairs to the upper floors distributes centrally. To the right the first double-doors lead to the living room, a double aspect room of 23m2 with herringbone parquet flooring and marble fireplace. The second door on the right from the hallway leads into the library (or office), a long room of 13m2, also double aspect, with straight cut parquet flooring and hand built bookshelves.

Opposite the doors to the living room is the entrance into the dining hall.

The upper floor, former staff quarters, accommodates 3 further bedrooms beneath the roof slope each of circa 10m2, a games room of 16m2, a shower room with wc and attic storage area.

Outbuildings : Set to one side of the main house is the outbuilding. The space here has been optimised and today at ground level includes a wine cellar, a workshop and storage area and above is an office of 14m2, bathroom with wc and bedroom of 18m2.
