Aquitaine, Lot-et-Garonne, Agen, France

Ref. PS1028 - This former Michelin-starred restaurant is a truly stunning property that offers the unique flexibility of being ready to immediately resume its function as a fine dining establishment or to serve as a spacious and comfortable family home. The entrance to the property is through a large electric gate, framed by two beautiful stone pillars, leading into a generously sized car park adorned with lush greenery and vibrant flowers, providing a welcoming and picturesque introduction to the estate.

The main house, a 19th-century townhouse constructed from Bordeaux stone, faces south and features a traditional slate roof. It is recognised as a heritage building of outstanding value, adding an element of historical significance to its charm.

Upon entering the ground floor, visitors are greeted by a beautiful entrance hall with original period cement tiles. To the left, the dining room boasts magnificent mouldings and oak herringbone parquet flooring, with windows that offer views of the terrace, creating an elegant and inviting dining environment. To the right of the entrance hall lies a large sitting room featuring a fireplace, an intricately designed ceiling, and display windows that overlook the well-maintained grounds. This room, like the rest of the house, is fully air-conditioned for comfort. Adjacent to this is a spacious carpeted living room that opens onto a shaded terrace through a French window, which has disabled access.

From the lounge, a hallway leads to two pantries and a professional-grade kitchen equipped with a central stove, dishwasher, two cold rooms, a vegetable room, storeroom, laundry room, and a bin room with access to the car park. This setup is ideal for a professional culinary operation or for those who enjoy hosting large gatherings.

The first floor comprises an entrance hall leading to four bedrooms, each with its own shower room and WC. These rooms are also air-conditioned and feature numerous dressing rooms and a utility room, offering ample space and convenience.

In the attic, there is an additional bedroom with an en-suite shower room and air-conditioned toilet, as well as a study. There is also a very large unfinished area with a beautiful original roof frame, which holds potential for conversion into further bedrooms or additional living space.

Adjacent to the main building is the former caretaker's lodge, which now serves as a staff cloakroom with direct access to the car park. The ground floor includes a small entrance hall leading to a staircase that ascends to a first-floor apartment consisting of three rooms. The porch to this part of the property is also classified as a building of exceptional value, underscoring its historical and architectural significance.

On the left side of the entrance gate, there is a charming town house of approximately 90 square meters in exceptionally good condition, complete with two garages. A staircase leads upstairs to a flat with three bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen, lounge, bathroom, and WC. This portion of the property is currently rented, providing an additional income stream.

The property is made up of 3 buildings:

-a main house with 11 rooms,
-a caretaker's cottage with 2 rooms
-and a 5-room apartment.

It is located in central Agen, which is close to all the facilities and amenities of the largest town in the Lot-et-Garonne. The town benefits from a direct TGV link to Paris, and is within an hour's drive from Toulouse Airport and 90 minutes from Bordeaux. Additionally, Bergerac is just over an hour away, making this an exceptionally well-connected location.
