Impressive Manor House, Prayssas, Lot-Et-Garonne

Property Description

How would you use this stunning, pale stone manor house?  It would certainly be a popular choice for holidaymakers in this warm part of SW France. Perhaps you have the idea of a creating a retreat, a cookery school, yoga or painting workshops or maybe just an indulgent, spacious family home. 

This property is offered for sale in good order, recently renovated and with a huge 450m² of living space.  It is situated in a slightly elevated position just a few minutes from the village of Prayssas.  The gardens are planted with magnificent trees, some of the oaks, cedars and cypresses are over 100 years old.  There are breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside of the Lot-et-Garonne.

The Lot-et-Garonne is an extension piece of the Dordogne, a very popular region with the British as it is easily accessible from the UK.   It is known for its many orchards, which of course says something about the climate.  The summers are warm and spring starts early in the year, so the sun can shine on the fruit for quite a number of months!  It gets a little colder in November but the temperature does not drop very much in the winter. 

The house is built over three levels.  As you would expect from a property of this size, there is oodles of space.  On the ground floor is the entrance hall, a magnificent drawing room (41m²) with the original parquet floor, library, sitting room (59m²), with a terracotta floor and open fireplace, and a fitted kitchen with stone sink.  And that’s not all!  There are 4 ground floor bedrooms, 3 shower rooms (all with WC), a laundry room and office.   

On the first floor are 6 beautiful bedrooms and a further 2 shower rooms, both with WC.   The attic level has been partly converted to provide further bedroom accommodation.  Beneath the house are extensive cellars with an area of about 70m².

The swimming pool which measures 12m x 6m is properly secured in accordance with French law.

Agen is a large and thriving commercial centre.  It is a very well equipped town which can supply all your needs.  There are excellent shops, restaurants, bars, cafés, banks, schools, theatres and museums to name just a few.  It has superb travel links to the rest of the country, to Spain and the rest of SW France.  It is known for its production of the prune, which accompanies many of the local dishes.

Agen has two important waterways which create a delightful ambience.  You see plenty of gaily coloured barges on the Canal du Midi, especially in the summer months.  Agen is easily accessible from the UK with flights to the airports of Bordeaux, Bergerac and Toulouse.  The TGV makes another great option, as there is a TGV station in the town itself.
