Past a hamlet with four dwellings, the property is accessible via a gate, which opens on to a 500-metre long drive that leads to the chateau.

In Charente, at the gates of Angoulême, a Charente residence from the 19th century, its outbuildings, and its swimming pool on 3 hectares of wooded land. The building complex is organized according to the traditional layout of old Charente farms: a main living building, extended and framed by outbuildings forming a semi-closed courtyard in a U-shape. The main house, built of rendered stone, features a sober architecture topped with a hip roof, inspired by rural styles. The arrangement of the façade, punctuated by regular openings, reflects a pursuit of balance rather than grandeur. The discreet but structuring window frames emphasize the rigor of the composition. The roof of the outbuildings, with its two slopes, follows the local tradition, with a moderate pitch suited to the region's climate. The clear and readable volumes testify to a construction designed to last, where each element serves a specific function. On either side, the outbuildings—barns, stables, and annexes—exhibit a more rugged form. Their generous proportions, large openings, and frameworks reflect their original agricultural purpose. The U-shape layout is not merely functional: it creates a protected inner courtyard that is almost intimate, sheltered from prying eyes. Thus, the whole forms a small coherent and hierarchical territory in itself, where living and working once coexisted in harmony.This description has been automatically translated from French.
