Description

A delightful small country house set in unspoilt countryside forming part of a friendly hamlet of five dwellings. A splendid loft is the main bedroom suite and a barn conversion the summer entertaining space. Perfect for those looking for an enchanting retreat in Gascony.

Set off a private lane, the main accommodation was originally on a single floor, comprising, living room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. More recently a first-floor loft has become the main bedroom suite. In addition, the adjoining barn has become the main living and entertaining space, linked to the main house by a covered walk-way across a sheltered courtyard.

The courtyard itself is a superb morning suntrap with a doorway to a vine-covered pergola terrace, framed by a low wall. With lovely views across the surrounding parkland, this is a perfect spot for al fresco dining and the 10x5m swimming pool is set nearby.

Lawned areas and level pastureland extend from the buildings with magnificent mature trees and orchard area with a variety of fruit trees. Further out some10 hectares are grazed and hay cropped by a local farmer.
This is an ideal property for large summer gatherings where there is also a choice of private and shaded areas for peace and quiet. Without being luxurious, the property has immense character and while it is comfortably habitable throughout the price takes into account some further updating.
