On the main floor, five bedrooms—including one located in the north tower—share a bathroom and a WC. The attic level includes a former maid’s room and a large convertible space, offering further development potential.

The basement is equally impressive, featuring a large vaulted cellar, the original château kitchen with preserved period elements, a fruit and vegetable store, a boiler room and several storage areas. All benefit from direct access to the exterior and terraces.
