An 1850 residence, swimming pool and guest house set in 2 hectares of English-style grounds, in the inner suburbs of Nantes, south of the Loire. From a discreet lane, a cul-de-sac leads to a gate. A wide track winds partly under cover through woodland, skirting a small pond and then an English-style garden. It passes a swimming pool on one side and leads to the house, which is revealed from its southern angle. Formerly an 18th-century hunting lodge, the building was modified in the 1850s by its occupants at the time, the Lefebvre-Utile family, with the addition of two low wings, one of which is extended by a regular-shaped apse. Built of schist rubble on a granite base, the dwelling has a four-slope slate roof with dormer windows and tall rectangular brick and tufa chimney stacks. They are topped with ashlar battlements. The facades are covered in Loire sand rendering, and the quoins and modillions are in tufa stone. At the back, a courtyard planted with four striking plane trees leads to a former orangery converted into a guest house, as well as a group of outbuildings and garages. The property is walled and has two entrances leading to a street running alongside.
