A classical villa and garden on a 1,400m² plot with a swimming pool, two minutes from Vidauban town centre in south-east France. A large gate framed between two imposing columns marks the property’s northern entrance. The property is entirely enclosed with walls. There is a secondary entrance that leads in from a neighbouring road on the east side. Beneath a shelter, there are three parking spaces. The north-facing facade is rendered and pale. A plain stringcourse separates the ground floor from the first floor. This facade is punctuated with six rectangular windows in white stone surrounds with finely sculpted lintels. A symmetrical pair of stone steps in straight flights leads up to the main entrance door, which stands beneath a small balcony with corbels of lion heads. The roof terrace is edged with well-proportioned balusters. A statue of a thinker features in the middle of these balusters. A hipped roof of barrel tiles crowns the roof terrace and house, giving the edifice a unique appearance. The south-facing elevation has similar architecture, but is less elaborate, with plain window surrounds and a central balcony that hangs over the southern entrance door and is edged with a wrought-iron guardrail. This elevation also features a symmetrical pair of stone steps in straight flights leading up to an entrance door. These flights of steps are edged with an openwork balustrade and the balcony at the top of them is edged with stone balusters. You enter the garden-level floor, where the apartment lies, via the east side or beneath the steps of the south-facing elevation. A swimming pool and a covered terrace lie at one side, in the garden’s western area. Lastly, an annexe that could serve as a workshop stands to the right of the gate when you enter the property.
