Property Description

Summary
We are selling our family home in Cursan,
The house measures 145 m2 and is built on a quiet plot of 3286 m2.
It comprises 2 levels, with 9 rooms, including 3 bedrooms and a master bedroom to be converted on the upper floor, under the roof, a lovely, glazed veranda entrance hall that could be transformed into an open-plan kitchen, a magnificent living room with working fireplace, exposed beams, a toilet and two shower rooms.
The house is built of thick local stone (pierre de taille) and is fully covered with Virginia creeper, which gives it its character.
Despite its charm, it is no longer up to modern standards and will need to be renovated over the years.
Our mother lived there for the last few years of her life but never wanted to undertake any renovation work.
