Two impressive oak doors with decorative ironwork give on to a large central courtyard which is alive with roses and other flowering plants in the summer.  Around the central courtyard, the original walls provide a very private area with many interesting features including two towers, a room with a fine vaulted Gothic ceiling, and an old residence which has been partially restored.
