Description
Ref.3906 : Nestled in the foothills of the famous village of Cordes-sur-Ciel, a true jewel chiselled in stone and one of the oldest bastides in Occitania, this proud-looking village house in a dominant position will offer you a high-quality living environment.
In the village, you will find the main shops and services as well as artists' and craftsmen's workshops, galleries, shops and exhibitions.
The property is located 22 km from the town of Albi, capital of the Tarn department and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The house is south-facing with a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside. Its three levels benefit from a great deal of light. Two terraces, also facing south, allow you to take full advantage of the peacefulness of the place.
The solid stone building has been regularly renovated and maintained, as has the canal tile roof.
With a total living area of 263sqm, the rooms are distributed as follows:
On the ground floor is the entrance hall which leads to the first level. There are also two garages with space for three vehicles, which is rare in a medieval town like Cordes. A well-equipped laundry room, a boiler room and a workshop/shop with an entrance from a back alley complete this first level.
A few flights of stairs above is the heart of the house with a large living room comprising the lounge and a fully equipped kitchen. Access to a large terrace through large sliding doors adjoining the kitchen and living room allows maximum enjoyment of the outdoors. A bedroom and a suite with a sauna have been fitted out, located opposite each other, thus offering great intimacy. An office is also located in this layout.
The second floor has the particularity of having been fitted out to function autonomously and separate from the first: we find a kitchen / living room space which also gives access to a south-facing terrace. This terrace, like an eagle's nest, overlooks the first one and allows you to see even further and admire the sunsets and sunrises. Two well-equipped suites with sauna and bathroom for one of them bring a lot of comfort to the whole.
This is an example of a house that has been well thought out in terms of functionality and modularity, which is exceptional in an old building and is really the strong point of this village house. The old materials such as the jointed stones have been preserved and enhanced, and the decorative elements such as the zinc counter, the metal and glass frames in the kitchen, the ironwork and the teak parquet floors have always been of the highest quality.
