Everything has sewer, city gas (recent condensing boiler). All renovations have been carried out over the past four years. Nothing is to be expected, except to exploit the additional potential offered by this magnificent house in the historic heart of Cognac. As the DPE was carried out before the complete renovation of the property, it is not representative. A new diagnosis is in progress. Cognac is a commune in the Charente department in southwestern France. It is a sub-prefecture of the department. Stroll the narrow paved streets of the city center to absorb the charm of Vieux Cognac (the old Cognac). The architecture will take you back in time to the early days of the salt trade that started the economic growth of the city. Many of the old houses date back to the 16th and 17h centuries, displaying the eclectic architectural style of the city. Most buildings have large windows, an indication of the wealth of the traders living in this area at that period of time. The “newer? part of the old city unveils the vibrant economic and cultural development of Cognac in the 19th century. That trail called the “Belle epoque? starts at Place Francois I and ends at the Jardin de l’hotel de ville. While the center is relatively small, there are plenty of charming streets and nice boutiques so give yourself some time to get lost.
