It has five windows on the front ; those at each end of the facade , looking south , project about twelve feet , -- an architectural device which gives the idea of two towers and adds grace to the structure . The middle window serves as a door from which you descend through a double portico into a terraced garden which joins the narrow strip of grass-land that skirts the Indre along its whole course .
