Description

Tastefully-restored Maison de Maître with Riverfront Garden on 1,600m2


LOCATION

In Gascony, on the border of the Lot & Garonne and the Gers, this property is located in a village within walking distance of shops, bank, 4 restaurants and other facilities. The village organises various festivities during the year including a music festival. It is situated 7 kms from a larger town with all types of commerce, and is half an hour from Agen, the capital of the département of the Lot & Garonne, where there is a mainline station for the TGV train to Paris.

The ski slopes of the Pyrenees, Spain, and the Atlantic coast are within easy driving distance. Nearest airports are: Bordeaux (80 mins), Bergerac (90 mins), Toulouse (100 mins) and Pau (110 mins).


HOUSE

Although it appears unlikely when you see this impressive 18th century maison de maître, it has in the past served as a bakery, mill, school and cork factory! Now it has been tastefully transformed into a large comfortable family home, but it could still accommodate an art gallery, antiques showroom or other business in the outbuildings, due to their visibility from the road.

In addition, with its views of the nearby historic Roman village from several windows, a garden running down to the river and the right to fish, this spacious house on 1,600 m of land, could also be transformed into a chambres d’hotes (bed and breakfast accommodation).

Its 280 m2 of living space consists of an entry hall, sitting room, dining room, large fitted and equipped kitchen, utility room with downstairs toilet, store room, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. With its open-sided barn, cellar, garage and other rooms in the basement (which are in fact at garden level), there are many possibilities for conversion.

The house, built in stone, has high ceilings, large windows providing plenty of natural light, and, where possible, original features have been retained. Tastefully restored and re-decorated, the house has been re-wired and the plumbing re-done. It is serviced with telephone, broadband, town water, electricity, mains drainage and electric radiators.
