On the banks of the Seine, in a park with a body of water, lie the outbuildings of a castle, including a chapel and a dovecote. Under Louis XVI, the entire estate – castle, farm, and outbuildings – belonged to Monsieur Jodrillat, steward at the court of France. In the following century, in 1850, Madame de La Motte, a descendant of the family and herself childless, was forced to sell the estate at auction. The Marquise de Chérisey then acquired it. It was at the end of the 20th century that the estate was divided into three parts. What is currently offered for sale concerns the former outbuildings of the castle, comprising two residential buildings that form an angle and whose main part is extended by a chapel. This ensemble is situated between the back of the park and a gravelled and tree-lined courtyard, in the midst of which stands an old dovecote. The Seine and the castle delimit the property in this section. At the front of the plot, along the banks of the Seine, two majestic driveways begin, accessible from the road through wrought-iron double gates. The main driveway, which then led to the castle, is lined with apple trees, and to its right at the entrance is the former keeper's house, renovated into a guesthouse. The other access, more romantic in appearance, is extended by a tree-lined pathway of linden trees. To its left, a wooded area is bordered by a body of water, consisting of two basins, one of which flows into the second through a cascading fountain. Finally, on the other side, the pathway runs along the Seine and its small secured beach with a gate. The outbuildings and the castle are now separated by fences and dense vegetation. The main residential building, formerly the castle's orangery in the 19th century, features stone façades, rendered, with two levels and topped by a three-pitched roof with flat tiles punctured by dormer windows. Converted into a guesthouse with two bedrooms, it presents a primarily functional interior layout while retaining its old-world charm. It opens onto a south-facing courtyard-terrace. Lastly, the current guesthouse, also one story high and built at the corner return of the orangery, is older as it is believed to have been built in the 17th century. Its façades and roofing are similar to those of the residence, and its windows, equipped with wooden shutters, are highlighted by brickwork forming frames and arched lintels. The building, quite long and asymmetrical, appears narrower and trapezoidal at its end. Furthermore, access to the building is through two distinct entrances, as the house is divided into two parts at its center. It contains five bedrooms and as many bathrooms or showers.
