We will retain the original names adopted by the current owners:
Le Verger: this is a long, brick-clad flint building of approx. 500 m² (5,500 sq ft), renovated over 2 stories, topped with dormer windows and covered in flat tiles. The building was extended in 2009 to make it fully operational as a venue for weddings, seminars, conferences and associated accommodation.
On the ground floor: reception room, catering kitchen/handicapped bathroom/technical room/bedroom/shower room/wc (for people with reduced mobility). Mezzanine: children's room and overhead projection room.

Le Fruitier: Tiled flint building in need of renovation, comprising a cellar/fruitier and storeroom, topped by an attic.
L'Ecurie: Flint building with slate roof comprising a double garage (2 cars), a machine room (electricity and booster) and former stables. Attic (probably former coachman's accommodation + fodder storage).
The well: a small, elegant brick shelter with a 4-sloped roof.

A long avenue of approx. 350 m (1,767 yds) leads to the front of the property, bordered on the left by a beautiful grassed area where 2 horses run and on the right by a vast (illuminated) car park. The parkland is laid out in the English style, respecting the view from the château and forming a backdrop to a vast, welcoming lawn.
Numerous species, some of which are over a hundred years old, prevent any visual disturbance caused by the flatness of the land.
These include Sequoia, Ginkgo-Bilobas, acacia, cedar, beech, chestnut, pine, cherry, tulip tree and chestnut, not to mention wisteria, Virginia creeper and other flowerbeds that grace the facades.
The orchard features apple, cherry and mirabelle trees.
A pretty pond collects the water purified by the mini biological station.
The whole property covers 5ha 66a, with no easements and no noise, visual or olfactory nuisance.
Consideration may be given to acquiring additional land to the rear of the property.
