Village house to restore

In the South-West of France, in the Lot et Garonne department, a medieval village, a 13th century house with courtyard to restore.

General description

In a lively village with restaurants, shops and a great tourist activity. The house is located in the heart of this village. In the 1980s a first restoration was carried out. The frame has been completely redone respecting the shapes and assemblies of the old structure. A concrete belt reinforces the wall of the facade. In an archaeological study of the house we read that it is entirely built of stone, the geological nature of which is very homogeneous: it is hard limestone, of local origin. Medieval masonry is preserved almost everywhere. It is a block house of simple structure; without being elementary, however, since unlike many houses in the village, the layout distinguishes several interior spaces. A complete archaeological study covering each element of the construction is available. It is 150m² on two floors and a 45m² inner courtyard which opens onto an androde at the back.

Opportunities

This is a renovation project with great historical value. The place ideally located in the center of the village can accommodate a cultural, commercial or tourist project.
