A Beautifully Restored Farmhouse with Fenced Garden and …

Description

Set along the quaintly named ‘Valley of the Fairies’ in a delightfully pastoral corner of southern Gascony. Skilfully restored with top quality materials, the house benefits from a high degree of insulation and geothermal heating

An authentic 18C building, full of period atmosphere, with open fireplaces, exposed beams and lime-washed walls. Contemporary additions include double glazing, bespoke timber doors, stone-tiled floors with underfloor heating and broad chestnut boards at first floor level. Strong features are the country kitchen with Gascon fireplace and a 50-square metre reception room. Three bedooms and two bathrooms at first floor level with a study/bedroom 4 with bathroom on the ground floor. A covered terrace is a charming outdoor entertaining area overlooking the garden and pool and the attached barn has multiple uses of carport, garden machinery store and workshop.
From the lane, handsome pillars and gates lead into a gravelled courtyard running across the front of the house. The grounds have been skilfully planted and there is a well-sited swimming pool on a lower level and vegetable garden with raised beds at the rear. The remainder of the land is fenced for horses with a schooling ring and central field shelter.

A well-presented rural property with great character and low energy costs.
