Limoges, Limousin 87000

A city dwelling from the 1930s, with a garden and self-contained accommodations, fifteen minutes from downtown Limoges. Set back from the street, behind a low stone wall and an inconspicuous gate, the three-storey building with a slate roof features a precise and symmetrical layout, typical of bourgeois constructions from the 1930s, while its main façade, facing south, is coated in light-colour plaster and cadenced by regular rows of vertical windows, some of which open on to small balconies safeguarded by ornate wrought-iron guardrails. As for the window/door surrounds, horizontal stringcourses and quoins, they act as decorative elements for the dwelling's exterior, whereas, the modest-size, landscaped garden is reminiscent of ornamental gardens from the interwar period, where several pruned trees and the rest of the meticulously maintained vegetation help showcase the dwelling's architecture. It should be noted that the property also comes with a few outbuildings, such as a carriage house and a chicken coop.
