villa for sale Leyme, Lot

This small, characterful complex consists of a shop on the ground floor of the market hall and an apartment above it of approximately 120 m² spread over 3 levels served by a stone spiral staircase. It was originally a tower and a fortified city gate which was later transformed into a small residential house. A building known as the Arbol, this gate dates from the 13th century, the time of the construction of the Chateau. It was once part of the city walls. It was therefore integrated in the 15th century into a house whose main facade rises on the market square. A staircase tower rises at the rear. Its door is molded (its lintel surmounted by the characteristic brace of the ornamentation of this Renaissance period in Quercy). On the other side, the building overlooks the magnificent old market halls, a market place in the Middle Ages and the only building located outside the walls. It is therefore a period property with character and full of history. The heating is district heating (biomass), efficient and easily manageable. The accommodation includes a beautiful living room, a kitchen and 4 bedrooms. The shop of almost 45 m² approx. on the ground floor on the market hall side allows for a suitable project. The meters between the accommodation and the shop are separate. Atypical and characterful property in a village with all amenities, located on the Rocamadour variant of the Way of St. James.
