This first-floor apartment offers a journey through the layers of Sarlat’s history. Listed as a Historical Monument, this exceptional property is shaped by two major historical periods, deeply marked by the building’s reconstruction following a popular uprising in the 17th century.
The Medieval Anchor: 13th-Century Origins
The building is rooted in the city's ancient frontline. Its foundations and thick structures incorporate the authentic 13th-century medieval ramparts and defensive walls. Today, this historic footprint is reflected in a unique layout:
• The Separate Kitchen: A room with traditional charm, separated from the hallway by an interior opening fitted with a decorative ironwork grille, creating an original sense of transparency.
• The Bathroom: A spacious area with terracotta-style tiled flooring, blending deep blue walls with vintage fixtures (bathtub, pedestal sink, and heated towel rail).
The Grand Siècle: 17th-Century Elegance
Once owned by Sarlat’s high judiciary, the mansion was partially burned during a popular revolt. Its immediate reconstruction gave rise to grand reception rooms with magnificent volumes:
• The Stately Living Room: An impressive space bathed in light through large small-paned windows featuring original internal wooden shutters. The eye moves from a pristine French-style ceiling (plafond à la française) with dense wooden beams to the solid hardwood flooring and an elegant marble fireplace topped with its mirror.
• The Monumental Suite: A bedroom of extraordinary proportions, centered around a huge ashlar stone fireplace. Period woodwork conceals large storage closets built directly into the walls. The volume is so generous that it easily accommodates a private lounge area alongside the sleeping quarters.
Technical Specifications & Environment:
• Individual electric heating. Connected to the mains sewage system.
• Listed Historical Monument (Exempt from the Energy Performance Certificate/DPE).
• Preserved location in the absolute quiet of a pedestrian alleyway within the historic protected district.
A heritage property of great rarity, ideal for a prestigious pied-à-terre or a premium investment with a strong historical identity.
