Superb Equestrian Property 23 Acres with Gites and Small Lake

Description

A unique opportunity to acquire an equestrian property, with huge business potential, set in approximately 23 acres, with an option to purchase a further 40 acres of woodland if required. The main property offers 10 bedrooms and would make an ideal equestrian holiday or training centre.

This south facing property is approached by a magnificent tree lined drive to the main house and stable blocks. The property is surrounded by fully fenced paddocks extending to approximately 23 acres of mainly flat land.

The main house is split into two units with extremely flexible accommodation including 2 kitchens, 2 staircases and a total of 10 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. There is also an independent 2 storey gite (75m2) plus an independent office/reception. Extensive barns and high quality stabling for 8 horses completes the ensemble.

Part one of the main house benefits from a beautifully fitted farmhouse kitchen 37m2 with Shaker style units and granite worktops. There are two double sink units a range of cupboards and an island unit. The full size Aga is complimented by a supplementary Aga with gas hob and electric oven. The kitchen opens into the sitting room, which has a stone fireplace with wood burning stove. There are two sets of French doors opening onto the garden and a covered patio area. A staircase leads from this room to the upstairs landing.

Distributing from the landing there are 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a master suite with large dressing room and en suite bathroom. There is a further attic bedroom on this floor.

The second part of the main house has a kitchen/living area with wood burning stove. A large lounge opening into a conservatory and into the garden beyond. This part of the house has a separate entrance with entrance vestibule. There is a ground floor bathroom. Stairs lead from the living room to the first floor landing. A further 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms can be found at this level.

In addition to the main house is a completely independent gite with open plan living kitchen area with wood burning stove. Stairs lead from the living space to the bedroom and bathroom above.

A large wooden chalet to the rear of the property would lend itself to either office/ reception space or further accommodation if required. It is fitted with a wood burning stove.

A long tree lined driveway (140m) leads to the house and stables. Either side of the drive are fenced paddocks and towards the house is a small lake.

The house is set in more formal gardens with mature trees and shrubs; lawned areas and an orchard. There are extensive barns attached to the house, which form a L shaped courtyard in front of the property.

There is a large single storey open barn of more than 200m2 proving undercover parking for several vehicles and in addition there is a covered 2 storey barn of equal proportions. There is also a separate workshop of 80m2. The total outbuildings including the stable block amounts to more than 1000 m2 of space.

The drive continues around the back of the property and gives access to the stable block with 8 stalls and covered work areas. The gite can also be found at the rear of the property as can the large wooden chalet, which would make an ideal office/reception.

In addition to the 23 acres of grassland a further 40 acres of woodland (which is attached to the property) is available by separate negotiation.

This equestrian property is set in its own park in the softly rolling landscape of the Gers approximately 1hr 20 minutes from Toulouse airport. 10 minutes to a bustling market town with all amenities.
