Angoulême Ancienne

A historic wing of a grand hôtel particulier in the heart of Angoulême, this remarkable 16th–18th century residence offers exceptional natural light, generous volumes, and open views over the Anguienne valley. Positioned between rue d’Epernon and the Rempart du Midi, the property enjoys rare southern exposure and preserved architectural character throughout. Built in dressed stone on a gently sloping plot, the house combines heritage features—terracotta tiles, exposed beams, stone fireplaces, wood panelling—with practical modern updates. With approx. 320 m² of living space, plus a 38 m² room to finish, a 16th‑century shop space, two garages, and a superb vaulted cellar, it offers both charm and versatility. Despite shared walls typical of historic townhouses, windows on all four façades ensure brightness on every level.🏠 Ground Floor — approx. 180 m²✨ Reception Room (46 m²) A welcoming entrance hall leads to a superb reception room opening onto the courtyard.
