Description
The townhouse
The ground floorThe entrance door stands on a stoop and opens into an entrance hall housing the staircase climbing to the upper floors. The entrance hall leads to a large lounge, a snug, a dining room, a kitchen and a guests’ lavatory. The large lounge is situated in the rotunda and slightly below the entrance hall. Light streams into it through four windows, three from top to bottom of the room to the east and a wider one to the south. Beneath a ceiling adorned with a moulded cornice, the floor is carpeted. The snug overlooks the large lounge, with which it connects through a large opening. The brick fireplace stands among a rosewood décor including a bookshelf and a sofa. The dining room also boasts a fireplace with a marble mantelpiece that extends up to the ceiling. This room and the adjoining kitchen are bathed in light through the bay window that looks out onto the patio. Next to the kitchen, there is a utility room from where a staircase descends to the cellar.
The first floor
A landing and connecting corridor lead to four bedrooms, an office and a lavatory. The master bedroom is adjacent to a bathroom and wardrobe space. Two of the other bedrooms follow, both with an en suite bathroom or shower room, while the level includes a combination of wood stripped flooring and carpet. The office includes low bookshelves that frame a brick fireplace. On one side, they are accompanied by a couch embedded in a corner unit.
The second floor
The landing leads to a roof terrace as well as three bedrooms and a lavatory. One of the bedrooms is adjacent to a shower room, while another is followed by a separate lavatory. There is wood stripped flooring throughout this level.
The basement
This level includes an approximately 30-m² living room, two cellars with surfaces of around 20 m² and 30 m², plus a more than 15-m² boiler room.
The annexe
This single-storey building possesses a hipped slate roof and is currently partially rented out. The rest contains the townhouse’s garage. The loft beneath the rafters can be converted.Our opinion
This townhouse stridently pays witness to the elegance of the Art Deco period in Angers, both through its external architecture and the decorative features remaining inside. The generous volumes that are bathed in light and the period fireplaces make up an interior of very discernible character. Outside, the enclosed garden provides a much-appreciated breath of fresh air in this urban environment, while the annexe provides potential for a plethora of possibilities. The residence can be moved into immediately, even though modernisation could allow future occupants to adapt it to their expectations.
