Elegant medieval townhouse with pool, terraces and exceptional volumes in the heart of the Lot

Situated in the heart of the beautiful white-stone medieval market town of Castelnau-Montratier, this exceptional townhouse perfectly blends historic charm with elegant modern living. Spacious, incredibly light and presented in excellent condition throughout, the property has been carefully and sympathetically renovated to preserve its rich history and original character whilst offering all modern comforts. High ceilings, large windows, beautiful fireplaces, tomette tiles, stone floors and generous ensuite bedrooms create a warm and refined atmosphere throughout the house. Outside, the peaceful walled garden feels like a private rural haven, despite being just moments from all amenities. With terraces, pool, flower-filled borders, rockeries and wonderful views, this is a rare and truly special property in one of the Lot’s most desirable villages.

This elegant medieval townhouse immediately impresses with its exceptional proportions, abundant natural light and remarkable quality of renovation. Throughout the property, the current owners have successfully blended modern comfort with the authenticity, history and charm of the original building.

The house benefits from double glazing throughout, excellent condition throughout and beautiful high ceilings, some reaching 3.4 metres, enhancing the already spacious feel of every room.

Entering on the main living level, a beautiful hallway with travertine flooring and a striking 3.4m ceiling sets the tone for the rest of the house. There is a separate WC with basin, a practical storage room (7m²) and an office (10m²), ideal for working from home.

The magnificent salon (45m²) is a truly stunning reception room, flooded with natural light from large windows and enjoying gorgeous far-reaching views. A substantial original fireplace with large wood-burning stove creates a beautiful focal point, giving the room warmth, elegance and immense character.

On the level below is the wonderfully equipped kitchen (33m²), an attractive modern space with travertine flooring, generous work surfaces and lovely views over the garden. The room perfectly combines contemporary style with traditional charm and opens directly onto the terraces, making it ideal for entertaining and family living. Adjacent is a superb arrière-cuisine (17m²), offering excellent storage and preparation space.

On the first floor are two exceptionally spacious and bright ensuite bedrooms.

Bedroom one (32m²) is a superb light-filled room with large windows, double doors opening onto the landing and many original features. It benefits from an ensuite shower room with WC and vanity basin.

Bedroom two (36m²) is another beautifully proportioned bedroom with original tomette floor tiles and attractive stone details. The ensuite bathroom includes a bath, shower, WC and vanity basin. This room also benefits from a balcony (13m²) with gorgeous views over the rear garden and surrounding countryside.

The top floor offers a further impressive suite. Bedroom three (25m²) is wonderfully bright and airy with lovely views to the front of the property. The spacious ensuite bathroom (10m²) includes a separate shower, bath, WC and vanity basin.

Also on this level is an attic space (30m²), currently used for storage but offering excellent potential to create an additional bedroom, studio or hobby room, subject to any necessary permissions.

Outside, stone steps lead down from the kitchen onto the first terrace (26m²), a wonderful outdoor dining area overlooking the peaceful garden. Despite being in the centre of the village, the outside space feels incredibly quiet, private and rural — a true hidden haven.

The beautifully landscaped walled garden is filled with flowers, mature planting, rockeries and several terraces and seating areas. There is also a covered terrace, a lean-to, well, potting shed and a charming pool house beside the swimming pool with cover. Lawn areas and shaded corners provide wonderful places to relax throughout the day whilst enjoying the lovely surrounding views.

This remarkable home offers the rare combination of history, charm, space, tranquillity and modern comfort, all within walking distance of the shops, restaurants, cafés and weekly market of this highly sought-after medieval village.

The property is ideally located for exploring the many attractions of the Lot and Tarn-et-Garonne, including Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Cahors and Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val.
