Originally, at the very beginning of the 20th century, the main street of the district, intended to link the embankments to the boulevards laid out on the site of the mall near the 17th century perimeter wall, separated the district into two sections. It is now a thoroughfare within easy reach of the property which is, nevertheless, not close enough for it to cause a nuisance.
Several places of worship and cultural centres are dotted throughout the sector’s architectural landscape and contribute to the citizens’ miscellaneous leisure and sports activities.
This mansion house is in a little street, bordered by several houses of similar standing, near to public gardens. It is on the corner of a narrow, no-through road which provides access to a double garage.
Enhanced with an elegant facade, adorned with original features, this mansion house conceals a little, private back garden which pedestrians can get to via the no-through road. Although standing in the centre of town, this walled property is discreet; its varied vegetation keeping it out of sight of onlookers.
The architecture and the materials used for the construction of the residence are typical of both the era and the region.
This immaculately kept property has been well maintained.
