This grand yet manageable townhouse sits in a quiet lane just a few minutes walk from the centre of a town with a hospital, supermarkets, local markets and shops and the famous “cite de l’ecrit”.

This elegant home could be either a wonderful holiday retreat or a gracious family residence. It offers terrific entertaining space with three reception rooms, a ground floor WC and a very private walled garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms: one is en suite and the other two share a “jack&jill” style shower room. There is also a large attic.

Double-glazing, central heating and a wood-burner keep the house cosy whilst the high-ceilings will help keep cool it in summer. There is some decorative and electrical modernisation to do but overall the house is in lovely, authentic condition.
