Town House For Sale In Parcent

Heritage Townhouse with Rare Architectural Value in Parcent

In the very heart of Parcent, this extraordinary three-storey heritage townhouse offers not just a home, but a tangible piece of the village’s history.

With 556 m² built (200 m² on the ground floor, 200 m² on the first floor, and 156 m² on the second), on a 232 m² urban plot, the property has been in the care of a traditional, genteel family for generations. Some restoration has already been carried out, including works to the roof and structural walls, while much of the original charm remains untouched for the next custodian to complete.

Step through the tall, symmetrical Juliet balconies and majestic wooden doors into spacious, light-filled rooms. The floors tell their own story: original hand-drawn and sun-dried terracotta tiles in many rooms, and in one bedroom, later grain-blocked Rosa dei Vento granite tiles – each one a statement of refined taste. Overhead, centuries-old olive-wood beams and traditional timber ceilings add authenticity, while the wide central staircase connects all three floors.

The property hides rare treasures:

*An original water deposit under the house, with access well and built-in rainwater collection system.

* An intact mule stable, complete with original mangers.

* Architectural details including old rinftesco-style wall painting in a bedroom.

Architectural plans have been prepared to reimagine the home with generous bathrooms on each floor, a kitchen in the top attic level to maximise views, and preservation of all heritage features. The rear plot, accessible from a parallel road, offers a rare in-town opportunity to add a garage, a splash pool, and even a further first-floor terrace.

Currently configured with large, light-filled rooms, the home retains enormous scope for a sensitive, high-level restoration.
