A Light-Filled Manor with a Secret Garden, in the Heart of Condom

Property Description

Rarely does a house like this come onto the market. Behind its pale local limestone façade, this elegant manor opens into generous rooms with high ceilings and light pouring in from both front and back. Period features have been carefully preserved, and the interiors are decorated with timeless, impeccable taste that honours the character of the house while offering every modern comfort. Step through the reception rooms and you discover the house's great surprise: a hidden walled garden, unexpectedly private in the centre of town, with a swimming pool and a graceful orangery that currently serves as a summer dining room. It's the perfect setting for long lunches and candlelit dinners. The two upper floors offer 6 spacious bedrooms, with 5 elegant bathrooms. The entire west wing is given to a magnificent suite with bedroom, dressing room, study and large bathroom. This is a peaceful, elegant retreat. It would make a wonderful family home or a house made for entertaining, and it offers an exceptional opportunity for a high-end B&B. Shops, restaurants, bars and markets are all within walking distance. Condom, the second largest town in the Gers, sits at the heart of Gascony's celebrated gastronomy: seasonal local produce, fine wines and, of course, Armagnac. An adjoining house, ideal as a caretaker's or guest cottage, may also be available by separate negotiation.
