The estate is approached via a private graveled driveway, leading past the remains of an old stone barn, adorned with wisteria, and the peaceful gardens planted with mature trees. The long colombage, half-timbered entrance hall, typical of an early 19th century Landaise Maison de Maître, leads to the ground floor rooms, comprising; a large sitting room, with open fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen leading to an outdoor covered dining terrace with an open fireplace, a utility room with central heating boiler and a shower room with WC.

The property has been inhabited as a permanent residence until very recently, and has therefore been maintained in good condition, with annual repairs and maintenance carried out. However, some gently refurbishing would be required in modernization of the kitchen and bathrooms and the septic tank requires upgrading to comply with the latest regulations.
