Shrouded by vegetation, the house is located behind high stone walls that encircle the entire property. Two different roads and entrances provide access to the property via imposing wooden gates framed by granite pillars. The grounds of approximately 4,000 m² form a rectangle, of which the house occupies one of its corners. Built in the 17th century as a "country house" for a family of ship-owners and corsair captains, it then became the residence of local notable politicians in the 19th century. Facing southwards, the house is composed of three storeys including one built into the attic space. The main façade is cadenced with three bays, while the walls are made out of plaster-coated granite rubble stone and the window surrounds are in granite ashlar. Three dormer windows crowned with triangular pediments punctuate the slate roof.
Two large chimneys frame the building and the roof gutter is set within a wooden cornice. The roof ridge is highlighted with decorative metal cresting and two zinc finials. The gable end is extended to the east by a lower single-storey wing built in the 20th century, the façade of which is fronted by a winter garden. Built behind and perpendicular to the original building, an outbuilding is crowned with a slate gabled roof and brick chimney.
Two pavilions in rubble stone and brick are located in the courtyard and stand on either side of a small raised garden.
