Dramatically Refurbished Farmhouse

A skillfully renovated traditional house dating from 18C with views over woodland and a private valley. Built in stone, the house has an elevated position and is approached by a pretty lane leading up from the village. Refurbished and remodelled by a team of highly regarded artisans who were commissioned to create a number of refined architectural details and a range of interesting decorative finishes. A strong feature is the library-music room, over 10metres in length and with a fully glazed wall onto the garden. The property includes custom-made fixtures & fittings and specialist lighting, in addition to well appointed bathrooms and kitchen. 6kms to daily shopping. 10kms south of Auch.
