The first floor accommodates seven bedrooms and six bathrooms or shower rooms, all arranged around a central hallway. The upper floor includes an additional bedroom with private bathroom together with several rooms ready to be completed according to the future owner's requirements.

An independent caretaker's apartment has been discreetly incorporated within the château.

Dating from the 15th century, the elegant bastide provides approximately 500 sqm of living space arranged over three levels.

The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall leading to a dining room, kitchen and two large reception rooms arranged en enfilade, creating generous entertaining spaces. Practical areas including a laundry room and boiler room complete this level.
