15th-century house for sale in Angers is more energy-efficient
than many modern homes, Le Figaro reports. On Rue St-Aignan in the historic city centre, the property known as Maison du Chapelain de Landemore features stained- glass windows, a 15th-century fireplace and myriad period features. A sign above the original door declares that it is the oldest half-timbered house in Angers. However, the
listed building’s impressive ‘E’ rating for its DPE (diagnostic de performance énergétique) is what has caught people’s attention. In comparison, many more modern properties, including those in 19th-century Haussman-style buildings, 1970s social housing and many more properties with single- glazed windows and limited insulation achieve only the lowest ‘F’ and even ‘G’ ratings. The timber-framed house
has been meticulously restored – but not modernised
– by the current owner, using traditional materials such as oak and cob (earth mixed with straw) to insulate the home. He rid the house of all later cement and plasterboard additions, restoring the traditional limestone walls, which help to keep the building cool in the summer. The four-storey, 131m2
building is for sale at €550,000 with the L’Adresse estate agency – at the high end for Angers but with lower energy bills than you might expect!
