On the ground floor in the main house there are five double bedrooms that are spacious and tastefully furnished. Three of these have en suite bathrooms and there is one additional family bathroom. There are two entrances into the house; the first leads from the terrace through French-windows and leads into a long hallway; the second, sheltered by an old cedar on the opposite side of the house, leads to a bedroom with stunning, old tiled floor and large wardrobe. The sitting room is furnished with armchairs and two sofas and contains a piano, wide-screen TV, music system and many books.

Windows open out onto a terrace where you can sit on hot summer days and gaze out over the hills and Pyrenees beyond. All modern amenities can be found in the kitchen – a Lacanche cooker with five gas rings and a large oven, large refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and coffee maker. The adjoining pantry also holds washing machine and dryer and can be used for storing groceries.
On the first floor a mezzanine that was previously used as an office but which has room for extra beds is reached by an old wooden staircase. There are also 2 further bedrooms that share a bathroom. A single bed, armoire, wooden floors and a black marble fireplace can be found in the old billiard room.
In the self contained apartment the living room is well furnished with two sofas, armchairs and a pedestal table. It has terracotta tiled floors and a marble fireplace.

Outside, shaded by an ancient Sophora tree, Sycamore and Catalpa trees, the terrace is furnished with sun loungers, teak tables and chairs and extends along the south of the house. It also overlooks the terraced swimming pool measuring 10x5 metres, which ensures the safety of children by being surrounded by a hedge.
