Sunny two-bedroom apartment with medieval tower in French country town. Good King Henri IV stayed here!

Situated in the historic heart of the attractive country town Saint-Gaultier, this is the perfect home for anyone looking for an authentic, ancient French residence or holiday home. The entrance is via a door in the tower and up spiral stone steps, worn down with thousands of footsteps over time. The well-renovated apartment consists of two bedrooms, kitchen/dining area, sitting room, separate WC and bathroom, with its very own medieval tower. There's a further two rooms off the tower, partially renovated, and below, a cellar with original 14th century wine racks. The tower staircase leads exclusively to the property, including the two further rooms which have views over the Creuse countryside, both ready for completion to extend the apartment or create a second property. The apartment has electric central heating, new water tank and double glazing. It looks out onto the town's main square with a pretty fountain, flower-filled planters, trees and the town's 12th century church.

This property is adjacent to the Cafe reference A46905SKN36 and so can provide additional living accommodation for that business. Please contact the agent for further details.
Links to the Vatican have been a feature of St Gaultier's history, providing protection against destruction in the 100 Years War with the English. It's probably the only French town to be paid by the papacy in gold florins. Walk down the short hill opposite and you arrive at the riverbank for the Creuse, perfect for an evening stroll. The popular Friday market is a two-minute walk away. The town sits in the Parc de la Brenne, known for its' 3000+ lakes and great activities ranging from hiking and horseriding to canoeing, art workshops and live bands performing in Parc villages. Transport links are excellent with the A20 and TGV 10 minutes away airports at Limoges, Tours and Poitiers.
