History

The north façade of this 15th-century house is constructed in stone, while the south is in timber framing. The ground floor opens onto a covered landing, enclosed to the north by a wall and sheltered beneath the projection of the first storey. This lower storey rests on the wall on the north side and, on the main west façade, on a beam supported by a vertical wooden post and a stone pillar towards the middle of this façade. At the back of the gallery thus formed, the ground floor comprises two doors, each with two leaves, made of small rectangular panels and presenting an example of 15th-century carpentry. The construction is in timber framing on the main façade. Each storey comprises two superimposed rows of Saint Andrew's crosses linking the posts to the sill beams. The second storey of the main façade is in corbelling on a row of five consoles.
