Location
The building is located in the Plateau district, with narrow old streets lined by historic buildings, in Poitiers in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region. It is near to all essential shops as well as schools and many cultural venues. The administrative hub of the Vienne area is renowned for its architecture, history, wealth of heritage and dynamic student life. Paris is around 1 hour 20 minutes away by train and Tours, La Rochelle and Bordeaux can be reached via the motorway network.
Description
The apartment is located on the ground floor of a 19th-century edifice that is currently being restored under the supervision of heritage agency Bâtiments de France. The building boasts a richly decorated facade, with a modillion and denticulated cornice, carefully crafted frames, segmental or basket-handle arched openings, as well as a decor of palms and acanthus leaves. In the centre, the pediment is decorated by a full-round bust. The building’s entrance opens into a corridor leading to the apartment, which stands out thanks to its ample volumes beneath high ceilings. The bedroom boasts a balcony and the whole apartment possesses a unique layout, inherited from its original purpose: the different spaces were previously the reception rooms of a townhouse. The property’s parking place can be reached through an entrance porch.
The apartment
It has a total surface of around 89 m². The lounge and dining room face north and are not overlooked, while the bedroom and kitchen face south. The entrance opens into the lounge which boasts a ceiling height of almost 3.40 metres. Period features such as mouldings, marble fireplaces and tall, cathedralesque openings have been preserved. Next to it, the dining room boasts a similar decor. A corridor leads to a bathroom with a lavatory and then to the bedroom, after which there is a small patio that can also be reached via the entrance. From the lounge, a passageway opens into a hall and then leads to the kitchen, which is set slightly back.
The proposed tax incentives
The building is in the process of a comprehensive restoration as part of the neighbourhood preservation and revitalisation plan. Within the scope of this project, all the window and door frames in the apartment will be replaced, while the communal areas will be fully renovated. This restoration qualifies for various tax schemes, such as those provided for by the Malraux and De Normandie laws, or the property deficit scheme, depending on the buyer’s circumstances. The sales price includes personalised assistance provided by a specialised firm.
Our opinion
This elegant and unique apartment, which will appeal to an architecture enthusiast or a savvy investor, is located in the historical centre of Poitiers. It boasts considerable volumes and living rooms bathed in light, in a sophisticated, period, urban setting. The property qualifies for various tax incentives, through a major restoration project, which could maximise the return on a rental investment. It could also be suitable as a main residence, in a vibrant city less than 2 hours away from the French capital.
