An exceptional C15th town-house located in Eymet

An historic former tax collector's residence in the heart of Eymet, beautifully restored under the supervision of the Architectes des Bâtiments de France. Flexible accommodation over 3 floors with a sitting room leading onto the garden. A quite exceptional property in a vibrant village

The property is situated in the village of Eymet, a charming medieval bastide town in the Dordogne region of south-western France. Renowned for its cobbled streets, historic architecture, and vibrant local community, Eymet remains a popular destination for both visitors and expatriates. The village boasts a variety of cafés, bars, and restaurants open year-round, and is especially well known for its weekly market, where local producers offer fresh produce, cheeses, wines, and artisanal goods—providing an authentic taste of the region’s cultural and culinary heritage.

In recent years, this historic former residence of the local tax collector has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations and redecoration, all carried out under the supervision of the Architectes des Bâtiments de France. The result is a refined and spacious home offering elegant living across three floors.

The ground floor comprises inviting reception and sitting rooms, an open-plan kitchen with an adjoining pantry, and a ground-floor bathroom, complemented by a generously sized laundry room.

A particularly noteworthy architectural feature is the Ogee Arch— an elegant, S-shaped curve formed by two opposing, symmetrical arcs. Often found in Gothic and Baroque architecture, the Ogee arch lends an air of sophistication and visual interest to internal doorways and transitional spaces.

A staircase leads from the first floor to a bright and spacious drawing room, two bedrooms, and accompanying bathrooms. The second floor presents a flexible layout, including a further sitting area, an additional bedroom and bathroom, and a separate room incorporating a dressing area.

Modern comforts are assured with gas central heating, as well as cooling air conditioning to the bedrooms via heat pump systems.

The central sitting room opens directly onto a delightful garden and a courtyard fountain, creating a perfect setting for outdoor entertaining. An al fresco dining area, shaded by a traditional loggia and enclosed within high stone walls, offers both privacy and tranquillity.

Further practical amenities include a garage equipped with an electric vehicle charging point, and a workshop, enhancing the property's functionality and appeal.
