A 14th-century fortified house with a garden, in the Périgord Pourpre sector, 20 minutes from Bergerac, in a medieval village. This residence stands off a cobbled street that winds through the medieval depths of Issigeac, behind tall stone walls where time has left an ochre and grey patina. The three-storey main facade, made of light-yellow limestone typical of the Périgord, is topped by a roof of flat tiles. The imposingly thick original medieval walls are composed of irregular masonry, characteristic of 14th-century buildings. The facade is punctuated by deep frames housing the windows, which are sparingly distributed, in keeping with the defensive architecture of the time. On the ground floor, a wooden door painted in faded Celadon green, with a carefully constructed ashlar frame, marks the main entrance. Above it, small-paned windows in period joinery dot the facade. A hipped dormer window emerges from the roof on the attic level, while a wrought-iron streetlamp stands just in front of the residence.
