Editorial reading
The record describes a house with an independent chapel, a low range that was stables and granary, and barns later converted, all surrounded by water moats accessible by two bridges, some parts of which form fishponds. The chapel keeps rib vaults on sculpted corbels and wall paintings of around 1500. The façades of the house, the chapel in full and the well were listed in 2003. The moats and their fishponds are the water garden the record describes.
