In the middle of the estate, two driveways lined with oaks and linden trees lead to a rectangular court. Different buildings stand around it. Most of the facades are more or less south-facing. On the west side, there is the manor’s old section, which dates back to the 12th century. Its height was raised in the 14th century and a new section was built on its north side at a right angle to it with a square staircase tower linking the two parts. The two rectangular wings each have a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. They are made of rubble schist and sandstone with pointing of lime and ochre sand. Slate tiles cover the roofs. Brick chimney stacks rise up from these roofs. The elevations of the two sections were redesigned in the 16th century. They are punctuated with stone-mullioned cross windows set in sandstone surrounds. The large section has decorative features that date back to the Second French Renaissance and that are sculpted in tuffeau stone: a twin dormer, pilasters, a triangular pediment and a cornice with corbels. On the east side of the court, there is a large L-shaped outhouse. And there are two annexes in line with the manor’s old section, immediately south of it.

This former 16th-century manor house, strategically located on the border with Brittany, served as a collection centre for the gabelle tax. At the time, the seigneury included around ten farms and covered more than 247 acres (100 hectares). Today, it is a pleasant residence, extended by a dwelling in the 19th century. The building is built of rubble stone, covered with ochre-coloured rendering. The window surrounds are of tufa stone or brick, and the quoins are of red stone. The whole building is covered in slate. The house is built east-west. The interior of the manor house is accessed via a doorway topped with an accolade and fireplaces.

It's easy to imagine the conviviality that reigns here, moving from one living room to another without having to push a door open.

The two parts are independent in terms of heating, electrical system, sanitary facilities and water supply. The property as a whole offers good accommodation capacity, which can be used on a day-to-day basis as well as occasionally during the year for entertaining guests. The work that has been carried out is of a very high standard. The restoration work carried out by the current owners some twenty years ago was carried out in its entirety and with great care. The original architectural quality has been respected and even enhanced. To the south-east of the property is a slate-roofed outbuilding. It comprises two rooms of 90 and 40sqm, used as a shed and garage; close to the dwelling a building with two garage spaces; to the west of the manor house, 2 buildings, probably former pigsties, with slate roofs.
