Station House in the Gers!

Property Description

This very unusual house is an absolute find. Originally built in the late 1930s as a station house, the railway lines were never laid due to the outbreak and aftermath of the war. So the house sits on the edge of a long, winding lane where the railway should be, and has open countryside and fields as its neighbour. It has been added to over the years and is now a very comfortable family home. You enter into the dining room with sliding doors to the lovely garden, then straight in to the fitted kitchen. To the right is the most recent addition to the house – a beautiful salon area with two full walls of glass, giving lovely views of the garden. This is a perfect winter salon to catch those last rays of sunshine. In the corner of the kitchen is a wooden staircase leading to two good-sized bedrooms (13m² 15m²) in very good condition. From the kitchen to the left you find the second sitting room with space for a TV, sofa and storage space for books and games. Off this space there is a corridor with a cleverly hidden laundry area, washbasin, WC and big cupboards. The master bedroom is here with a large family shower room in very good condition. The garden is wonderful! Lots of trees and space for a pool, a covered terrace with water and electrics, and a BBQ area (to be repaired). There is a large outbuilding which has been converted into an office space, a 15m² garage and a carport for two cars. With a heat pump heating system, this is a cheap house to run, and a very agreeable space to live in. For more information or to organise a visit, please contact our Lectoure agency on
