The property is located in a peaceful village that has preserved its authentic charm. There is a bakery as well as a market every Saturday.
The entrance to the property is via a double-leaf electric gate which leads into a rectangular courtyard overlooked by two interconnecting two-storey 19th century houses set out in an L shape. The rendered façades are punctuated with very large windows below a regularly maintained and overhauled two-sided gabled roof made of local flat tiles. Large skylights have been installed in the roof, generously bathing the interior with light.
To the right of the entrance gate, there is an outbuilding.
Landscaped grounds extend from the rear of the houses down to the Grand Morin River. On the side of the grounds, patios paved with Burgundy stone lie between the buildings and the garden. The grounds also boast a swimming pool and a small pétanque pitch.
