47370 tournon-d-agenais, France

This beautifully restored period stone townhouse is discreetly nestled in the most sought-after part of the historic bastide of Tournon-d'Agenais.
Located on a quiet and peaceful side street, but just a few minutes' walk from the activity, cafes and life of this much-loved hilltop town, the place truly offers the best of both worlds - and yes, this is the best side of town.
From the charming balcony, you can enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. Morning coffee, evening drinks... honestly, it's hard to imagine a better spot. Inside, the house offers five generously sized bedrooms, tastefully and elegantly decorated, and three meticulously finished bathrooms, all presented with a consistent sense of style and quality.
Period features abound: elegant 15th-century stone archways, exposed beams, and antique fireplaces sit alongside chic contemporary touches. The ground floor is laid out as a large open-plan living space, with custom-built bookcases and a study, seamlessly integrated into a modern kitchen with fitted appliances, a utility room, and a ground-floor WC. A comfortable sitting room with a fabulous fireplace opens directly onto the balcony, making it an ideal spot for winter evenings or summer gatherings.
Modern and stylish bathrooms, mains drainage (no surprises regarding the septic tank), double-glazed wooden windows, and a brand-new oil-fired boiler being installed, providing underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators upstairs, make this house an easy and low-maintenance choice, along with three open fireplaces. Whether as a refined family home or a retirement retreat, the property also boasts an excellent rental history with substantial returns.
Add to that the famous night markets in the square, and you get the real France, served up with charm, character and just the right amount of sparkle.
