Conveniently located in an old and peaceful district in the heart of a famous city in Lot, the property provides 600 sq m of living space on four levels. Says the real estate agency Maisons & Châteaux: "This splendid house has kept its original features: a huge stone fireplace, framed doors, a tower with a spiral staircase, mullions and an oak-beamed ceiling. Some redecorating is needed but the built is in very good condition." A registered historical monument with its two towers and Renaissancestyle windows, the house offers two large living rooms with a fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen, a library, five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The top level includes four additional rooms that need work and a soleilho which is a sort of sundeck nestled in the attic. The 200 sq m enclosed garden planted with trees hosts a guesthouse. Overlooking the river, the property is within walking-distance to many shops.
