The ground floor of the manor welcomes you into a large entrance hall with access to the wine caves beneath. The kitchen is large, 31m2, with fireplace and utility room. The dining room of 26m2 benefits from a fitted wood burner. The lounge of 46m2 also has feature fireplace.

The left side of the first floor accommodates 6 bedrooms and two bathrooms and an attic above and the right side 2 large bedrooms, bathroom and separate wc. The second floor homes another 3 bedrooms, bathroom and wc. The guest lodge is also restored and has a good sized living room with fitted kitchen, bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor and another bedroom and bathroom upstairs. The guardians house is of a similar format with two bedrooms over the two floors and single living room/kitchen on the ground floor. In addition to these there is a summer dining area, garage, boiler room and former 'bucher-pressoir' of 100m2 with attic above. The land of a little over 2 hectares includes a large courtyard (former 'court d'honneur'), very nice park and orchard with landscaped alleys and formal garden.
