Both the living room and bedroom have feature high-vaulted beamed ceilings. The property is double-glazed throughout and the French windows have an electric roller shutter.

The property has a large hangar opposite the house to store wood and to shelter cars. There is over 14ha of land, including woodland with a stream running through. However approximately 13ha of this land is currently rented on a long-term basis to a local landowner to provide hay for his animals. The land is a "zone naturelle", which means it cannot be cultivated although it can be used for horses, sheep, goats, donkeys. There are 3 other houses along the lane, but they are some distance from the property and cannot be seen from the house.
