Close to the Bay of Somme, a 17th-century castle, listed as a historic monument, extended by a park with outbuildings, woods, and an orchard. Far from all prying eyes and slightly elevated, the castle with its classical architecture, situated at the edge of a forest, overlooks a landscape of fields and rabbit warrens, beyond the roofs of the hamlet. All around, a country garden consisting of expanses of lawn and ornamental trees forms a green setting. A fully restored pigeon house from the 15th century stands on the main lawn with its polygonal silhouette. Several outbuildings add to the estate: adjacent service buildings extend from the house, and at the far end of the park, down below, there is an old farm, now transformed into a distillery, as well as a caretaker's house that allows for separate occupation. The park, about 3 hectares, surrounds the buildings. It includes vast lawns followed by an orchard, primarily planted with apple trees, and a wooded area.This description has been automatically translated from French.
