An imposing manoir, set in attractive grounds in an elevated position with uninterrupted views over wooded ridges to the Pyrenees. The property displays two handsome facades and the outbuildings and a built-on pigeonnier form a partial courtyard. Although a main road can be heard to an extent to the rear, the countryside and views to the front are entirely unspoilt. The original 18C house was heavily remodelled in the 19C and again reworked in the late 70's. While the structure is in excellent order and the accommodation immediately comfortable, the decor and fittings are now somewhat dated. All rooms are well-proportioned, light and airy with multiple windows and the location and layout of the property might suit a commercial project. 5 kms to two villages with everyday supplies. 40kms SW of Auch. Airports: Pau 50 minutes, Toulouse 90 minutes. Classe Energie:D.

Outside
Linking with the main building, the outbuilding wing provides two carports with concrete floor. Lock-up garage also serving as workshop. Pigeonnier, 5x5m, a well designed addition on two levels, built some 30 years ago in brick and render, stone detailing and traditional eaves 'genoises'. Loose boxes, four bays with concrete floor and corrugated iron roofing. Poultry shed, in two compartments on the far northwest corner of the grounds.

Land
1.98 hectares. Stone pillars and entrance gates lead in beneath Scots pine to a gravelled courtyard flanked by mature horse chestnut, cedars, and cypress. Immediately to the south is a swathe of lawn running on to additional land cultivated by a neighbouring farmer and which may be reclaimed short notice. The remainder of the grounds are down to grass interspersed with a multitude of trees. To the north are more recently planted cedar, lime, horse chestnuts, willow and assorted fruit trees. A large number of evergreens successfully screen two neighbours some distance to the rear and to a large extent the main road.
