Nontron, Aquitaine 24300

A town house with a classical style, a garden and a stunning view in the historical heart of Nontron in France's Prigord Vert area. The property extends over a long, narrow plot from a street to a valley drop. The house is built in a classical architectural style. It is a terraced house with a facade that leads straight out onto the street. The dwelling was built upon a medieval cellar. It has three floors, excluding its basement and its loft space. The latter could be converted. The house dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Its street side faces north and its garden side faces south. Its classically designed faces rise up to a gable roof of monk-and-nun tiling. Rendering coats the stone walls but leaves the dressed stone of the quoins and window and door surrounds exposed. The windows are perfectly aligned with one another. Stringcourses demarcate each floor. Solid and louvred shutters protect the house's wooden windows, which are original features and are laid out symmetrically. A timber spiral staircase with a wrought-iron balustrade leads from the ground floor to the upper levels, including the loft. There is a landing on each floor.The town house conceals a walled garden behind it. The walls surrounding this garden were built upon the old ramparts of Nontron and its chateau. The property's commanding position overlooking the valley offers a spectacular panoramic vista.
