The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La maison est un logis de la fin du 15e siècle. L'accès à la façade sur cour se fait par un grand portail en plein cintre. Trois lucarnes de pierre et deux oeils de boeuf éclairent les combles dont la charpente est à chevron faisant ferme. Les lucarnes sont dominées par un fronton triangulaire mouluré, orné de trois boules. Chaque étage compte six ouvertures, réorganisées au début du 17e siècle. L'intérieur conserve un grand escalier dont la rampe remonte au Second Empire. Au sous-sol se trouve une cave du 14e siècle, de plan carré, voûtée en maçonnerie sur quatre croisées d'ogives dont les arcs doubleaux sont à chanfrein et retombent sur huit piliers engagés et un pilier central rond dont la base et le chapiteau sont octogonaux.

The house is a main dwelling from the end of the 15th century. Access to the courtyard façade is by a large round-arched portal. Three stone dormers and two oculi light the roof space whose roof structure has chevron rafters forming a full frame. The dormers are dominated by a moulded triangular pediment, adorned with three balls. Each storey has six openings, reorganised in the early 17th century. The interior preserves a large staircase whose balustrade dates from the Second Empire. In the basement is found a 14th-century cellar, of square plan, vaulted in masonry on four ribs with double-arch ribs chamfered and bearing on eight engaged pillars and one central round pillar whose base and capital are octagonal.
