Family home for sale in the historic centre of Figeac, Lot department

Ref. 3973 Family home for sale in the historic centre of Figeac, Lot department

Located in the historic centre of Figeac, the second largest town in the Lot department, this large family home offers the amenities of a small town and quick access to unspoilt countryside.

Figeac's identity is marked by the richness and beauty of its heritage. Its historic centre, shaped by the Middle Ages, is home to a remarkable number of merchants' houses with sculpted facades. These restored houses bear witness to the wealth of the town, which traded with the whole of France and the major Mediterranean ports.

It is also the birthplace of Jean-François Champollion, decipherer of hieroglyphs and founder of Egyptology.

The house of 335sqm comprises:
On the ground floor: entrance hall with staircase, dining room, living room and kitchen for the left part. We find old parquet floors with multiple laying (ladder laying, Versailles) and this, on all floors. The right-hand side of the hall gives access to the most recent part of the building, comprising a single level. This wing has two offices, a laundry room and a garage that opens onto the street.
On the first floor: 3 bedrooms, two of which have wooden fireplaces and old parquet floors overlooking the garden, a bathroom, a toilet and a second staircase that leads to the living room and the upper floor. The high level woodwork, mostly double glazed, gives the rooms a great deal of light. Interior shutters and moulded wooden baseboards recall the old and authentic character of the place.
On the second floor: 2 large bedrooms with views over the garden and beyond, a third bedroom, a shower room, a dressing room and a kitchen area.
On the third floor: attic with several windows and skylights. The roof has been redone and fitted with a sub-roof, and it is possible to create additional rooms, the height being more than sufficient for a functional layout.
Basement: several underground cellars and a boiler room.

Small, intimate garden of 350 sqm, which is rare in the heart of the historic centre of Figeac. The tree-lined garden, which must be crossed to reach the main entrance, gives the house some perspective.
Two large cypresses, an albizia, laurel trees, ornamental shrubs and a few rose bushes inhabit this garden.
A well and a gazebo are also located in the garden.
