Not far away, an elongated outbuilding faces a well equipped with its wheel. To the south, there is a swimming pool and its technical room. Several Medici vases mark the main entrance. Built entirely on a basement, the manor has three levels. The facades present a polychrome composition with stone and brick, rhythmically adorned with numerous large-paned windows topped with stone lintels. Two balconies animate the elevations, one of which highlights the main entrance extended by a stone staircase with a wrought-iron railing animated by volutes echoed on the balustrades. The intermediate chainings combine brick and stone, similar to the frames of the windows.A tower attached to the building reinforces the verticality of the whole. It retains corner chainings in brick as well as bands that mark the different levels. In the upper parts, the facades are clad in regional bricks pierced with windows topped with small glazed imposts adorned with gables. The slate roofs have been entirely restored. Some are hipped, particularly those of the tower, while others are gabled.
