The house and outbuildings are set around a cobbled courtyard, forming a traditional "Enclos Béarnais". To the right of the courtyard is a small barn, which could be converted into a guest cottage/gîte; to the left of the courtyard are two vast two-storey barns, one comprising a garage and an orangery, the other a theatre for 100 people. The maison-de-maître is on the far side of the courtyard. The façade of the maison-de-maitre has some beautiful decorative carvings above the front door, as do the window surrounds on one of the barns.

The front door of the maison-de-maître opens into a small entrance hall, which leads into a larger hall/library area with a staircase up to the first floor. To the right of this hall is a dining room with an open fireplace; to the left is a larger reception room, which also has an open fireplace. Glazed doors at the far end of the room open out to a covered terrace for outdoor dining.

The large reception room leads round to the kitchen, which has lovely views of the garden. Next to the kitchen is a snug, along with a cloakroom area and separate WC, which is also accessible from the hall/library area.

The staircase leads up to the first floor which comprises a master bedroom with an adjoining bathroom, four more bedrooms, a family bathroom, a separate WC and spacious storage cupboards. Please note that the rooms on this floor have sloping ceilings.

Outside, there are two walled gardens - one behind the maison-de-maître (approx. 1,257m²), the other behind the barns (approx. 730m²). The garden also has a pool (12m x 6m) and a fronton for tennis and boules
