4 Bed House for sale
Cahors, Lot, Midi-Pyrenees, France
Full Description
A renovated 12th century presbytery with swimming pool in a garden overlooking the Lot River in the Occitanie region, in the centre of Cahors, the historical capital of the Quercy area. From an aerial view, the district spreads out through a web of narrow streets nestled between the river and the city's main avenues. A closer inspection reveals gardens behind the buildings. The presbytery is no exception: tucked away behind its stone walls is a green space with breath-taking views overlooking the valley. Ashlar arches were recently uncovered on the building's façade. They have been dated to the 12th century by an architect from the Bâtiments de France heritage agency, who also determined that the building underwent successive alterations in the 14th, 17th and 18th centuries. As for the date when the monks left, it was in the 19th century. The presbytery has retained its architectural value and many of its original features but has been adapted to a modern lifestyle. The renovation commissioned by the current owners obtained a silver medal in the French Federation of Building's competition. The work was carried out by local craftsmen, from the solid wood interior doors to the vertical radiators, including the specially designed fitted kitchen, the tiled floors, the wood stripped flooring, the free-standing bathtub and the extremely large walk-in shower.
