A Belle Epoque villa, with grounds, a swimming pool, outbuildings and a view of the village perched on the hill, at the foot of a royal fortified town in the Lot-et-Garonne area. From the country road and just a few minutes from all essential amenities, a private, 300-metre-long drive forms a lengthy spiral around the property from the north, lined by woods and tall trees, up to the property’s gate, from where the eastern façade of the elegant, late-19th century residence looms into view between the trees and shrubs in the garden. After the entrance gate, the gravelled drive widens before the stoop, allowing visitors to disembark from their vehicles, before continuing to the garages several metres further on. The approximately 350-m² villa stands out thanks to its balanced proportions and immaculate architecture, that of a bourgeois residence, in which the façades are punctuated by regular rows of windows and discrete decorative elements, revealing a carefully thought-out construction. It is made up of a vast kitchen, a lounge, a dining room, six bedrooms and four shower rooms, as well as several service rooms. It pays witness to Belle Epoque period architecture, with its brick and stone, light-coloured rendered walls, inspired by spa town edifices. The large and perfectly aligned windows are fitted with wooden, louvred shutters painted in a warm brown hue that combines well with the decorative details in brick. The gable end is dotted with decorative oculi while the gabled roof is topped by finely crafted ridge cap, giving the building a silhouette that stands out in the Lot-et-Garonne landscape, in the midst of 2.5-hectare grounds boasting tall cedars, oak and ash trees as well as flowering shrubs, in an orderly and harmonious whole. To the south of the house, the stone and wooden outbuildings are made up of a garage, a barn and stables with a riding area. To the west, there is a large patio at the end of which stands a period ornamental balustrade, followed by the swimming pool and view up to the royal fortified village.
