This elegant three storey town-house has been beautifully restored in recent years. Located in the heart of historical Lectoure, with the market, shops, cafés, school, thermal-centre and restaurants all a short walking distance away, this property has been used as both a holiday home and a main place of residence in recent years. Internally the property this 190m² property has been tastefully restored. The rooms are spacious and elegant, with high ceilings, period features and a modern twist. With the main living-space on the first floor, high above the street, the property is bathed in light and has a private feel to it, despite its central location. The local school is easily accessible on foot, and much of everyday life can be enjoyed without the need for a car. To the rear of the property we find a small private courtyard, providing just enough space for a table and chairs, and some foliage. Just enough space to enjoy a drink on a warm summer’s day, without having to worry about the upkeep of a garden. FOR MORE INFO & PHOTOS HEAD TO BLISSIMMO.COM Let’s look at the property in more detail : On the ground floor, we enter the property from the street, where we find ourselves in a spacious entrance hall, with a lovely old central fireplace. This room is used for coats, and boots, but is spacious enough to be used as a downstairs office. With a door opening onto the high street (relevant change of usage permits would need to be checked) this was clearly once a shop, and could potentially become one once again if the town hall were to agree. A small door by the stairs opens onto a downstairs cellar area beneath the house. At the far end of the ground-floor, we discover what used to be original kitchen; recently converted into a downstairs art studio with a newly fitted corner-kitchen by window at the far end of the room. The door to this room opens directly onto an intimate walled courtyard. This room also has a modern ensuite shower room, which effectively means that should one wish, this room could be used as a private studio with a bedroom, shower room/WC and a kitchen. Let’s take a look now at the first floor. On the first floor, there are two rooms, sitting on each side of a small landing. Both rooms are redolent of the 18th century with high ceilings, exposed beams and generous proportions. The kitchen has been beautifully fitted, with a central island and a breakfast/dining-area in one corner. The range and kitchen area has been built into a decorative wooden surround. Two tall windows overlook the street; with a decorative fireplace adding a focal point to the centre of the room. The sunlight floods into the new kitchen even on a winter’s day, the building being just tall enough to see the blue skies over the roof tops. One has a sense with this room, that this is far more than just a kitchen. It is an informal reception area; the perfect place to sit over coffee and a laptop for anyone who works from home. This area has all the elegance of an 18th century appartment. On the other side of the landing, an equally spacious reception-room overlooks the rear courtyard. This room has a period fireplace, high ceilings and a wealth of original features. The modern bespoke staircase continues up to the bedrooms above. The largest bedroom is some 18m2, the second 16m2 A third bedroom overlooking the street is currently used as a dressing-room but could easily be converted back into a sleeping area. On this level the bedrooms share a magnificent and spacious bathroom with a large shower, very decorative retro style WC and a roll-top bath tub. This is a beautiful room. On the top floor, tucked away under the eaves, with a Velux window, there is a cosy bedroom tucked away under the eaves, which benefits from a luxurious ensuite shower-room and which also has its own dressing-room.
